    You cant have a link do both…. Either an Anchor link "<a href=…" will go to a location (ie index.html) or it will perform a javascript action…

    If you want to show sub nav when the link is click you can pass information threw the hash ie (indext.html#show) then do

    Code:
    if(location.hash == “show”)
    {
    subNav(‘show);
    }

    ect….

    Hello Mr KiTT3N and everyone

    ya u r right. the link can’t do both at the same time.

    so i have placed the following code below the closed body in my template

    <script type="text/javascript">

    function fireEventDrpdwnMenu(element,event){
    if (document.createEventObject){
    // dispatch for IE
    var evt = document.createEventObject();
    return element.fireEvent(‘on’+event,evt);

    }
    else{
    // dispatch for firefox + others + Not supported in IE, which uses fireEvent() instead.
    var evt = document.createEvent("HTMLEvents");

    evt.initEvent(event, true, true ); // event type,bubbling,cancelable
    return !element.dispatchEvent(evt);
    }
    }
    $(function(event)
    {
    //capture url
    $url = window.location.href;
    $id = $(‘a[href^=’+$url+’]’).attr(‘id’);
    // alert($id);
    // trigger my click for drop down to be displayed
    fireEventDrpdwnMenu(document.getElementById($id),’click’);

    });
    </script>

    It is working on firefox but with but not on IE 6,IE 7 ,opera and google chrome. On ie 6,ie 7 , opera and google chrome the page keep on reloading.

    Do you have any reason not to do a hover over to get the sub-menu to appear? If not, I would suggest that. Then you could still make the click event on the original menu item go where intended without any fancy script.

    I’d recommend you look at a framework like jquery or mootools….

    The reason you are having so many problems is cause the dom is a mess… rather than writing code for each broswer you can write it once and the framework will take care of the browser differences….
