Relative Positioning Error

I just downloaded the relative positioning (table bound) menu and unzipped it into a fresh web folder, and without changing anything in it I get an error on the page. Everything displays fine, but the icon still pops up in the bottom of IE and the details state:

Line: 17
Char: 805
Error: Object Required
Code: 0

I redownloaded and unzipped to a different folder but this error is still popping up. It doesn't affect the menu, but it is still annoying to see the error icon on a page. Any ideas?

Got a URL we can look at?

Nope

Sorry, only running on localhost for right now; behind a government firewall otherwise I would.

Then post the code. We've got nothing to work with...

Alright, so I have been running windows 2003 recently, and coincidentally my system crashed last night. Upset with its bugs I reinstalled XP and low and behold there is no longer an error with the page. The code was unaltered, so you could download it straight off your site - but I can no longer create the error in windows XP. Perhaps windows 2003 has a slightly different browser? Or maybe it had something to do with the way IIS 6.0 was working (since I'm usuing 5.1 in XP). I'm sorry I can't tell you what the specific problem was, but if you have anyone running windows server 2003 maybe just unzip that menu into a web folder and see if it has an error.

Interesting, but then that's M$!

Regardless, glad you got it working.

Thanks

You're welcome (although we didn't get a chance to do anything!).

I just tested it on my desktop and it works fine, but only after I put my own js files in it. It didn't work with yours. I did notice someplace a post about 5.09 not working and something about mmenudom.js being corrupted. Mine, which I just downloaded 5 minutes ago, is working fine, so maybe yours got corrupted on download. Try downloading it again and see if that fixes that problem.

Wow - just did a fresh download (about 9 hours after the last one) and it's working fine.

In the future if/when a sample I just downloaded doesn't work, I guess the best (only?) thing I can do is to report the bug throught these forums and sit tight (as opposed to trying to fix it).
