Drop Down Menu within a Menu Include Page Options

[Jude]

Hi
hope someone can help!
I've added the code below into my menu include page and it works ok when in Browser.
I now want to add this page as a menu include into my main page but the dropdown menu then doesnt doest work! Is there a bit of code I need to add in my main page to activate the dropdown menu?

Code within the head,
#popitmenu{
position: absolute;
background-color: white;
border:1.5px solid black;
font: normal 11px arial;
line-height: 20px;
z-index: 500;
visibility: hidden;
}

#popitmenu a{
text-decoration: none;
padding-left: 6px;
color: black;
display: block;
}

#popitmenu a:hover{ /*hover background color*/
background-color: lightblue;
}


#dhtmltooltip{
position: absolute;
width: 4500px;
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 1px;
background-color: white;
visibility: hidden;
z-index: 100;
/*Remove below line to remove shadow. Below line should always appear last within this CSS*/
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(color=white,direction=135);
}



</style>


<script type="text/javascript">

Well, if you have the above on both pages and it doesn't work on one of them, then what you don't show us is probably part of the problem. URL?

Hi Paddy
I have only added the code above in one page that’s my include page! My main page has only the HTML for the page table, text etc... do I need to add some code in my main page to activate the code in the menu include page?
Hope this makes sense
Jude

Forgot to mention that I was unable to add a URL as its an Intranet Site

Does both the include file and the main page contain complete HEAD, BODY tags etc? That would cause duplicate tags. Unlike framed pages, an include file should only contain what's missing from the including page.
