I'm sort-of following a tutorial from "a list apart"for making css-dropdowns ( ), but even though I've written

Code: 
	#nav li ul {
	    display: none;
    }

The sub options simply won't dissappear.

Also, how can you make the hover state of one thing affect something else?

I've no idea why but this works

Code: 
	 	  startList = function() {
	if (document.all&&document.getElementById) {
		navRoot = document.getElementById("nav");
		for (i=0; i<navRoot.childNodes.length; i++) {
			node = navRoot.childNodes[i];
			if (node.nodeName=="LI") {
				node.onmouseover=function() {
					this.className+=" over";
				}
				node.onmouseout=function() {
					this.className=this.className.replace("over", "");
				}
			}
		}
	}
}
window.onload=startList;

As far as I could tell it was the same as your javascript. Or at least any differences didn't seem to make a difference to it not working.
But when I use the script from a menu I have then your's works fine.

This is getting wierder by every post. The code above worked in my minimalistic test document, but not in the actual document. So I removed line by line to test what was wrong.

When I removed the
Code: 
onLoad="MM_preloadImages('images/Production.png','images/Development.png','images/send.png','images/print.png')"
from the <body> it suddenly worked. This is a bit dreamweaver puts in to preload images. The function MM_preloadImages looks like this:

Code: 
function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
  var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array();
    var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0; i<a.length; i++)
    if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}
}

You have any idea why these two functions clash?

Can you only have 1 onload event?

There is an onload event at the end of my script.
Try adding the window.onload command to the onload event in the body tag instead.

You mean like
Code: 
<body onLoad="startList">

That doesn't work.

Changing the window.onload to this worked:
Code: 
window.onload=startList, MM_preloadImages('images/Productiono.png','images/Developmento.png','images/sendo.png','images/printo.png');

Though I can't know for sure if the images preloaded since I don't have the site online yet.

i'd try something like:

Code: 
<body onLoad="startList();MM_preloadImages('images/Productiono.png','images/Developmento.png','images/sendo.png','images/printo.png');">

Although I'm really rusty regarding javascript.
