Slide Down Menu Woes

I’m creating a slide down menu for navigation. There is a sample output available on this page:

[URL=http://javascript.internet.com/navigation/slide-down-menu.html]http://javascript.internet.com/navigation/slide-down-menu.html[/URL]

For that sample output I would like the “Home” button to slide out the menu as it does, but ALSO to link directly to a page. (like my homepage) and so forth with the other buttons. Here is the code:

var height = 20; // height of the menu headers
var iheight = 15; // height of the menu_items

var bgc = “lightyellow” // background color of the item
var tc = “black” // text color of the item

var over_bgc = “silver”;
var over_tc = “red”;

var speed = 0;
var timerID = “”;
var N = (document.all) ? 0 : 1;
var width = 152
var self_menu = new Array();

function write_menu() {
smc = 0; // count the position of the self_menu
document.write(“<div style=’position:absolute’>”);
mn = 0;
mni = 1;
start = -1;

for(i=0;i<Link.length;i++) {
la = Link[i].split(“|”);
if (la[0] == “0”) {
if(start == 0) {
document.write(“</div>”);
h = csmc * iheight;
tmn = mn; //-h
self_menu[smc] = new Array(tmn,h,0,-2);
smc++;
mn–;
}
csmc = 0;
document.write(“<div class=’menu’ style=’top:”+mn+”;height:”+height+”‘ id=’down”+smc+”‘ onclick=’pull_down(“+smc+”,”+mni+”)’> “+ la[1] + “</div>”);
self_menu[smc] = new Array(mn,height,0,mni);
smc++;
mni++;
mn+=height;
start = 1;
} else {
if(start == 1) {
if(N)mn+=2;
document.write(“<div class=’item_panel’ id=’down”+smc+”‘ style=’top:”+mn+”‘>”);
start = 0;
}

document.write(“<a href='”+la[2]+”‘”);
if (la[3] != “”) document.write(” target='” + la[3] + “‘ “);
document.write(“><div class=’item’ id=’d”+i+”‘ style=’height:”+iheight);
if (N) document.write(“;width:150”);
document.write(“‘ onmouseover=’color(this.id)’ onmouseout=’uncolor(this.id)’> “+ la[1] + “</div></a>”);
csmc++;

}
}
if (start == 0) {
document.write(“</div>”);
h = csmc * iheight;
tmn = mn + 5; //-h
self_menu[smc] = new Array(tmn,h,0);
name = “down” + (self_menu.length-1);
obj = document.getElementById(name);
obj.style.borderBottomColor = “darkblue”;
obj.style.borderBottomWidth = 1;
obj.style.borderBottomStyle = “solid”;
}
document.write(“</div>”);
}

function color(obj) {
document.getElementById(obj).style.backgroundColor = over_bgc;
document.getElementById(obj).style.color = over_tc
}

function uncolor(obj) {
document.getElementById(obj).style.backgroundColor = bgc;
document.getElementById(obj).style.color = tc
}

function pull_down(nr,c) {
if (timerID == “”) {
to = self_menu[nr+1][1]
begin = nr + 2;
if (timerID != “”) clearTimeout(timerID);
if (self_menu[nr+1][2] == 0) {
self_menu[nr+1][2] = 1;
if(nr == self_menu.length-2) {to++;}
epull_down(begin,to,0);
} else {
to = 0;
self_menu[nr+1][2] = 0;
name = “down”+(nr+2);
open_item = 0;
for(i=0;i<nr;i++) {
if(self_menu[i][2] == 1)
{open_item += self_menu[i][1];
}
}
if (N == false) {open_item-= (c*1)};
if (nr== self_menu.length-2) {val = self_menu[self_menu.length-1][1];to=-1;}
else val = parseInt(document.getElementById(name).style.top) -(open_item)-(c*height);
epull_up(begin,to,val);
}
}
}

function epull_down(nr,to,nowv) {
name = “down” + (nr-1);
obj = document.getElementById(name).style.clip = “rect(0,”+width+”,”+(nowv+1)+”,0)”;
for (i=nr;i<self_menu.length;i++) {
name = “down” + i;
obj = document.getElementById(name);
obj.style.top = parseInt(obj.style.top)+1;
}
nowv++;
if(nowv < to) timerID = setTimeout(“epull_down(“+nr+”,”+to+”,”+nowv+”)”,speed);
else timerID = “”;
}

function epull_up(nr,to,nowv) {
name = “down” + (nr-1);
obj = document.getElementById(name).style.clip = “rect(0,”+width+”,”+nowv+”,0)”;
for (i=nr;i<self_menu.length;i++) {
name = “down” + i;
obj = document.getElementById(name);
obj.style.top = parseInt(obj.style.top)-1;
}
nowv–;
if(nowv > to) timerID = setTimeout(“epull_up(“+nr+”,”+to+”,”+nowv+”)”,speed);
else timerID = “”;
}

function startup(nr) {
write_menu();
if (nr != 0) {
for(i=0;i<self_menu.length;i++)
{
if(self_menu[i][3] == nr) pull_down(i,nr)
i==self_menu.length;
}
}
}

And in the content of the .html page one would have:

<table width=150><tr><td>
<script language=”JavaScript”>
//Link[nr] = “position [0 is menu/1 is item],Link name,url,target (blank|top|frame_name)”
var Link = new Array();
Link[0] = “0|Home|”;
Link[1] = “1|Home|http://www.javascriptsource.com|”;
Link[2] = “1|More Scripts|http://www.javascript.com|”;
Link[3] = “1|Contact|http://www.javascriptsource.com/contact-us.html|”;
Link[4] = “1|Traffic|http://www.thecounter.com|”;
Link[5] = “0|Access”;
Link[6] = “1|Login|Login.asp|”;
Link[7] = “1|Logout|Logout.asp|”
Link[8] = “0|Scripts”;
Link[9] = “1|Asp|http://www.javascriptsource.com|”;
Link[10] = “1|JavaScript|http://www.javascriptsource.com|”;
Link[11] = “0|Links”;
Link[12] = “1|JavaScript sites|http://www.javascripts.com|blank”;

startup(1);
</script>
</td></tr></table>

Any ideas? Thanks. (And no, adding a link like this for example: Link[0] = “0|Home|www.google.com|”; does not work.)
