I've spent two days searching the help forums and can't find an answer to this particular problem. So, thanks in advance for any help you can give.

I've started developing a site; the urls are listed below. I've designed the menu system so that different categories have different colors. Everything works great on the PC; however, on the mac, only the submenu colors showup correctly. The main horizontal menu defaults to the basic menustyle, even though I have specified different colors within that menu.

The sample on the milonic page works fine on both my mac (OSX) and pc, in both explorer and netscape, so I know that it can be done.

I have designed the site on a PC using Dreamweaver. I'm not a programmer, but I've done my best.

Since this is just a first stab at the site, only the first link under each menu actually takes you anywhere.

The site address is http://www.willamalane.org/index_2005.htm

The address of the javascript file is http://www.willamalane.org/menus/menudata.js

Take a look at your menu_data.js

Put the # before colors in menuitems, like #ffffff is white.

Also, I'm not sure if this will cause a conflict in some browsers getting them to read the first listing you have, but in the .. with(menuStyle=new mm_style()){ .. you are listing bgcolor and color even though you have it then specified in each item.

thanks for the solution!
