Can someone please tell me what is wrong at http://www.qualis-corp.com/new/index.html? I can't get the menus to display. Menu files are at http://www.qualis-corp.com/new/menus
Thanks in advance.

The call for the 3 program files and a 'menu_data.js file is to willowbrook? and then the calls for a main file is to the qualis. Maybe that's the problem.

Ruth is correct (as always!). You are not licensed to use menus from another domain - actually, no Pro license is. You need to get your own license.

I just looked a little more. Sorry, I didn't actually go to the menu files you listed. After looking at the page I saw the problem. You do have a licensed menu for qualis, you just need to call that menu. Sorry for the confusion.

I thought I WAS calling that menu??? I've used these menus with 3-4 other domains and not had this problem before. I know it's something simple I'm overlooking but just can't see it.

Anna, you are calling the menu code files from a completely different domain than the one you are running the page on; i.e., your calls go to http://www.willowbrook.org/menus/milonic_src.js, etc., and you have your page on http://www.qualis-corp.com/new/index.html. qualis-corp cannot use the code from willowbrook.
Looking at the code you're calling, it clearly states willowbrook...
Code:

You must get a license for qualis-corp, and call your own code.
Also, with the relative placement inside a td, you don't want the top= and left= items. I removed them. You are also missing the closing ; after drawMenus() in the main code. The sub-menus are not working because you do not have any menus that match the names you are calling (eprojects, support).
You can see the page working at http://www.west.asu.edu/sa/testsite/.

I DO have a license for this. I can't see anywhere where the menu for "willowbrook" is being called.

Hi Annasue,
These are the calls for the menu files on the link you gave to the qualis index? page.
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.willowbrook.org/menus/milonic_src.js"></script>
and so on for all the menu files, except the one in the tableYou do have a license for qualis, the problem is you're calling the files from willowbrook. So, change those calls to
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.qualis-corp.com/new/menus/milonic_src.js"></script>
and so on, for the other qualis/new/menu files.

Menu not displaying

I apologize for my confusion yesterday; I realized after a while that I didn't have my ftp set up correctly and was not copying the latest index.html file to the right place.
However, it IS going to the right place today and I still cannot get the menus to display. Please see http://www.qualis-corp.com/new. The menu files are at http://www.qualis-corp.com/menus
Thanks in advance.

Same answer as yesterday. See it about 5 messages up from this one. Start with the paragraph, "Also,...".

And, you also have a missing closing bracket in the 2nd item of the support submenu, you need the ) at the end.

Thanks to all who supplied answers. It was the missing ) and missing ; after the DrawMenus command that I just could not see.
I appreciate the time you took in replying.
