not sure exactly what you are trying to do, as my java isnt very good. but it looks like it can all be done in css.

http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic2/

try that, has some examples under horizontal that may help you.

You really don't need that much code for a dropdown menu... have a look at articles like http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns/ for help making a CSS/Javascript menu.

wing, there are too many syntax errors. You should try to be more careful when typing this out. There were mistakes in the html, css, and javascript. I fixed it up and it's more readable now, but I couldn't get the initializing method to work. It still doesn't work in IE and still a little bit flaky in Firefox anyway.
