Awesome job…thanks a lot! It truly helps us lesser mortals with little or no knowledge of javascript
But i’m having a problem with aligning the slider and the text in the menu. (in IE 7)
css –>
.menu{
position:relative;
background: url(”yellow.gif”) repeat-x; */yellow.gif is 1×100 px/*
width:100%;
height:100px;
}

.menu ul {list-style:none; z-index:10; position:absolute; z-index:100; padding:7px }
.menu li {float:left}

.menu a{
font-size:12px;
font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-weight: bold;
text-align:left;
}

.menu a, .menu a:active, .menu a:visited, .menu a:hover {
text-decoration:none;
color:#FFF;
padding:6px;
}

#slide {position:absolute; height:30px; background:#89957a; opacity:0.4;
filter:alpha(opacity=40); z-index:10}

markup–>
<div class=”menu”>
<ul id=”menu”>
<li id=”current”><a href=”#” >home</a></li>
<li><a href=”#”>pictures</a></li>
<li><a href=”#”>architectures</a></li>
<li><a href=”#”>my account</a></li>
<li><a href=”#”>how to</a></li>
</ul>
<div id=”slide”></div>

</div>

@dreedenator - The function I referenced is an example of wrapping multiple onload events into one global onload function call.

@surelock - Looks the same in IE7 and FF to me so not sure what end result you are looking for. Email me if you like michael@leigeber.com.

This is a great lil script, but I am having trouble getting it to work in IE (6&7), any suggestions? Here is the site I am trying to get it to work on http://www.back40internetinnovators.com/thepuzzleboy/index3.htm It works fine in FF and Opera but it throws the text and slider to the center of the page, and does not align them properly. I realize that this is probably my fault due to an error I made somewhere, but I have had no luck tracking it down.

Thanks much for any assistance or suggestions you may be able to provide.
