Okay, that messes with my iframe element. Any other ideas?

I figured it out. By adding a window.location.reload(true); line inside the if statement it worked:

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function CheckIt() {
var el = event.srcElement;
if ((el.tagName != "TD") || (getRootTable(el).id!="menuBar")) {
cleanupMenu(menuActive)
clearHighlight(menuActive)
active=false
lastHighlight=null
window.location.reload(true);
}

}
</script>

Not sure how to phrase this... I'm interested in making the menu forget where you went last. It seems to have an annoying behavior, in that when you click through to a nested level, then click off the menu, when you go back to that menu item again, it brings up empty boxes in the position of the last path you followed. I want it to "blank out" it's memory of where you have been once you click off. Any ideas? (I'm using the "CheckIt" function above.) Alternately, if it would bring up those nested levels completely visable, that would be OK too.

I think the tool is great - I have the same isses as larrya though. Also when I put this in a top frame of a frameset it hides behind the bottom body frame - how can I stop this? Anyone?
