I am building a site and i have a javascript drop down menu. The links work on the main button. But when i click on any of the sub menu items under any of the button, it takes me to the webpage that the main button is pointing to. The submenu buttons work in Safari and IE.

I copied your code under "More system details" to a local file and opened it in Firefox. Alle link work like they should. I can not do more without having a url for a site. How do you expect us to test this ?

The html that is posted on the forum seems to be working fine for me. The problem is probably in the javascript or css.

What did you do to trouble shoot it?

The site is not live yet. I am testing it on my local machine. HERE IS THE JAVASCRIPT MENUSM.JS:


jQuery(document).ready(function($){

   // menu smothness
   $('.menusm li').click(function() {
     window.location = $(this).find('a:first').attr('href');
   });
   var dropdown_level = 0;
   $('.menusm li ul').parent().find('a:first').addClass('have_submenu');
   $('.menusm').children('li').children('a').addClass('top_level');
   $('.menusm').children('li').children('a').removeClass('have_submenu');
   $('.menusm li').hover(function(){
     if(dropdown_level == 0){
       $('.menusm').find('a').removeClass('have_submenu_hover');
       $(this).addClass('li_hover_main');
       $(this).children('a').addClass('a_hover_main');
       $('.menusm ul').parent().find('a:first').addClass('have_submenu');
       $('.menusm').children('li').children('a').addClass('top_level');
       $('.menusm').children('li').children('a').removeClass('have_submenu');
     }
     $(this).find('ul:first').stop(true,true).slideDown(200).show();
     $(this).find('a:first').addClass('have_submenu_hover');
     $('.menusm').children('li').children('a').removeClass('have_submenu_hover');
     dropdown_level++;
   },function(){
     $(this).find('ul:first').stop(true,true).slideUp(0);
     $(this).find('a:first').removeClass('have_submenu_hover');
     dropdown_level--;
     if(dropdown_level == 0){
       $(this).removeClass('li_hover_main');
       $(this).children('a').removeClass('a_hover_main');
      }
   });

// END of menu smothness

});
