Drop down menu no dropping down

[Abby55]

Hi Guys,

Please can somebody help????
Being trying for days to get my drop down navigation to work, it works in preview ect but just stays closed up when uploaded. the site its for is http://www.tentastic.co.uk/index.html and its the left navigation containing the products. I basically want each sections to open up when clicked on the show the sub-sections, e.g.

Tents
- 1-2man
- 3-4 man
Walking
Water
Cooking

I have used this javascript -

<script type="text/javascript">


ddaccordion.init({
headerclass: "expandable", //Shared CSS class name of headers group that are expandable
contentclass: "categoryitems", //Shared CSS class name of contents group
revealtype: "click", //Reveal content when user clicks or onmouseover the header? Valid value: "click" or "mouseover
mouseoverdelay: 200, //if revealtype="mouseover", set delay in milliseconds before header expands onMouseover
collapseprev: true, //Collapse previous content (so only one open at any time)? true/false
defaultexpanded: [0], //index of content(s) open by default [index1, index2, etc]. [] denotes no content
onemustopen: false, //Specify whether at least one header should be open always (so never all headers closed)
animatedefault: false, //Should contents open by default be animated into view?
persiststate: true, //persist state of opened contents within browser session?
toggleclass: ["", "openheader"], //Two CSS classes to be applied to the header when it's collapsed and expanded, respectively ["class1", "class2"]
togglehtml: ["prefix", "", ""], //Additional HTML added to the header when it's collapsed and expanded, respectively ["position", "html1", "html2"] (see docs)
animatespeed: "fast", //speed of animation: integer in milliseconds (ie: 200), or keywords "fast", "normal", or "slow"
oninit:function(headers, expandedindices){ //custom code to run when headers have initalized
//do nothing
},
onopenclose:function(header, index, state, isuseractivated){ //custom code to run whenever a header is opened or closed
//do nothing
}
})


</script>

And this Html -

<div class="arrowlistmenu">

<div class="menuheader expandable"><a href="http://www.tentastic.co.uk/acatalog/Tents.html" target="_self" onmouseover="SwapImage('tent','banners/tent-nav2.gif')"onmouseout="RestoreImage()"><img src="banners/tent-nav.gif" border="0" name="tent"/></a></div>

Hi Abigail,

I'm no javascript expert I'm afraid but when I copy your code into my software I get javascript errors ('ddaccordion' is undefined) so I can't test it out unless you post everything to do with this menu.

Alternatively, you might want to consider one of the menu plug-ins created by Norman Rouxel at http://www.drillpine.biz/actinicstuff/index.html.

I think your issue is because you are trying to implement Javascript objects within Scriptaculous framework.
The important javascript here
http://www.tentastic.co.uk/js/script...s?load=effects
that you are calling in the head of your site does not exist.

i.e. /js/scriptaculous.js does not reside in the /js/ folder on your server.
Try putting this javascript file into your site1 folder then referencing it directly in the javascript tag in your head i.e.like the actiniccore.js.
Actinic will handle the paths for you.
