What would cause my home computer's browser to not load
the dropdown menus on a website I regularly visit at
work? Is it a java setting or maybe related to all the
service packs my OS (Win2K Pro) has loaded on it? The
website I use is www.intellicast.com. Their submenus do
not appear on my home pc, but work fine on my work
computer. Confused... Thanks for any help.

Where do you see dropdown menus on that site?
All I see is JavaScript on
http://www.intellicast.com/

Are you referring to the selection box on the HTML input form?
(initialized with -- Select an Activity --)

Why don't you compare the source you get on both machines
and see if they are the same (as you seem to be assuming?)


Good luck

I should have given a more specific URL than just the
homepage - my fault. Try
http://www.intellicast.com/StormCenter/. Its on this type
of page that has a submenu across the top. If you mouse-
over any of the menu categories, ie 'Satellite', it drops
another menu with about a dozen choices. Its this action
that my home pc refuses to perform. I mouse-over the
submenu title but nothing happens. Should I lower my
Custom Security settings to "low" then? Maybe its the
Norton Internet Security/AntiVirus app causing it.

Pretty simple stuff. All it is mostly is JavaScript and Cascading Style
Sheet. It's source is unusually verbose. I have seen much more
compact implementations for menu systems. One interesting quirk
of its implementation showed up when I set Work Offline and cloned
the page from my cache with Ctrl-N. Try using the "dropdown" menus
then. I was only able to see most of them by scrolling the page down
quite a bit. Then instead of appearing in their normal position they
appeared in a single column on the left. ;o

Set your Internet zone to Default security settings.
Make sure you don't have anything checked in Accessibility,
especially no User Style Sheet.

BTW what do the menu header links do for you if you right-click,
Open in New Window (or Shift-click) instead of using them normally?


Good luck
