working with pop up menus in...

this is my first time working with pop up menus in CS4 (have built many in previous versions), Adobe says you cannot create the pop up menus due to the new Spry feature - but that you can alter existing menus using the Behaviours panel

I have just launched a new website using pop up menus - and there is a glitch when viewing the rollover/pop up menus: I see a question mark to the left of each image in the menu (the images themselves are working beautifully), does anyone know why?

view the website here:

I want to keep the pop up menu so am looking for a solution to eliminate the floating question mark

does it have anything to do with the multiple javascripts on each page?.. I have one for the menus, and one for the multiple fadeshow

any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Not sure if this is the problem, don't have time to go through all your code - but putting the page through the validator bought up a lot of errors...

Look at the 3rd error message - it's to do with the way the script link has been written.

Lots of other errors that need fixing as well.

On another note, these pop up menus are not the best way to create menus these days, that's why the pop up menu feature was removed from the latest DW version.

thank you for this.?however a lot of the ''errors'' you mention are generated by Dreamweaver itself - namely the way tags are closed etc. I do understand there is definitely error with the code somewhere though so will keep looking

To me that looks like an incompatible character that is used somewhere inside the script to offset the sub-menus vertically. The script engine will not be able to interpret it and the browser render it in the div colors. Perhaps you accidendally just deleted a semicolon, a parenthese or a sway bracket somewhere and the JavaScript runs off....
