You don't need to convert Suckerfish to jQuery.

Just use the premade jQuery version, Superfish:

Cutter & Andy... like I mentioned in an earlier email, I'm no jQuery wiz and
don't have the skillz to convert the Suckerfish script to jQuery. That is
why I am looking for a pre-made solution that I can then tweak design wise.

Searches on Google for jQuery Menus return mostly simple examples. Any ideas
where I could find a *similar* jQuery solution to this Suckerfish script?

Thanks, Che

Problem with that is that getElementByID returns a DOM object, while a
jQuery call returns a jQuery object. Different things.

Don't think you really need a new menu, just convert some of you functions
to *use* JQuery. Something like:

var el = $('#hb-nav > li:first');

Thanks Mark. I've seen this before. Not quite what I have now, but I'll take
a deeper look.

True, but then you can always do $(selector).get(0) or $(selector)[0] to get
back to the DOM.

Not ideal, but very useful.

Hello Peter. I *do* and will use jQuery for everything else on the site.
Consider myself converted. What I am having difficulty finding is a jQuery
dropdown menu that has a similar look and feel. Namely, dropdowns that have
multiple columns and indented values. If you need an example of what I mean,
just roll-over the Books/DVDs tab.

Use jQuery. Seriously. Combine valid HTML (you need to fix that too) with
jQuery and the number of cross-browser problems you'll have will drop
massively.

Both because the jQuery authors/contributors have already done the hard bit
of figuring out browser quirks, and also just because it simplifies your
code a great deal - the simpler the code, the less that can go wrong.

IE breaks for a variety of reasons on getElementById
Here's one:
http://webbugtrack.blogspot.com/2007/08/bug-152-getelementbyid-returns.html

If you google: javascript getElementById IE you will find many more.

I don't get the error in FireFox, but I do get it in IE7. (The offending
function, sfHover, only runs in IE)
According to Microsoft Script Editor, the error is "Object required" and
it appears to be coming from line 20 of
http://beta.awma.com/dropdown.js.

19: var div = document.getElementById("hb-nav");
20: var el = div.firstChild;

There doesn't appear to be an element in your page with the id "hb-nav"
so perhaps that would be your first place to start looking. 

I have not used that JavaScript library for drop down menus, but it
appears you are on an old version of the script.  I would suggest
looking through their docs to see what elements need to exist in the
page for their script to work properly:

A drop down menu script I am currently using is giving me an error (and
a
headache) when viewed in IE 6, 7 or 8. It shows up as a little yellow
icon
with an exclaimation mark at the bottom of the page. The script works,
but I
cannot figure out how to remove the code that is causing the error. Any

Use jQuery.

Seriously.

Combine valid HTML (you need to fix that too) with jQuery and the number of 
cross-browser problems you'll have will drop massively.

Both because the jQuery authors/contributors have already done the hard bit of 
figuring out browser quirks, and also just because it simplifies your code a 
great deal - the simpler the code, the less that can go wrong.

Hey Che,

My staff swear by the plugin(s) available for FireFox to debug IE
related JS issues.

I haven't used the plugin(s). but I know how you got your headache
trying to do it in IE which doesn't even give you a  line number to go
on ;-)

Cheers
