Could you be a bit more specific about what doesn't work? Does the generator fail? Do your pages not render correctly? Could you post a link?

That is not the default menu. Your UpDown function does not select an object.

It should look like this:

var etab=document.getElementById('SUB' + tabid);

Yeah, I don't know what that means, all I have done was put

into my header

I would use inc_catsmenu.asp rather than inc_catsmenua.asp but that one does not render right even in IE and puts those ugly +'s to the left of them.

The point Matt is making is that you are using code for the menu that is not the stock code from ProductCart.

The process of altering the code (in inc_catsmenua.asp) to remove the +- icons evidently resulted in a situation where the javascript is incompatible with FF. There are also display issues with FF, such that the pages shift to the left whereas they are centered in IE.

yes, but I did not alter inc_catsmenu.asp to make inc_catsmenua.asp

It was already in my PC directory

Perhaps it was from an older version of product cart.

That menu is not part of the ProductCart v3.x

Try this:

1.) Open inc_catsmenua.asp

2.) Find
var etab=eval(tabid);

3.) Replace with:
var etab=document.getElementById(tabid);

4.) Save and Upload. Be sure to backup your existing copy first.

Ok, that worked, Menu now expands in FireFox.

still aligns the page to the left, but that is no big deal, I can live with that.

Thanks

Try removing the centering reference and adding this to the end of the very first table tag in your header.asp file:

style="margin: 0 auto;"

Before:
<table width="750" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">

After:
<table width="750" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="margin: 0 auto;">
