DHTML Menu conflicting with onload animation

javascript guru needed for this one

[kevinj]

I've got a page <sorry, no URLs> that has an image flipping at the top and I also want to use HierMenus.

The onload="animate()" in the body tag appears to be not allowing my menuloader js file to load up as well. When I remove the onload from the body tag, the menu that I've just started works when you roll over academic programs.

Any thoughts Javascript gurus?

I can see two possiblities.

1 There is a conflict in function/aray names between the HM functions and the animate functions.

2 onload is preventing the document.write functions in the HM scripts from being exceuted.

I have seen a similar sort of behaviour before with menu scripts. I think if you set the timer in the inline javascript you will be okay

Thanks for the advice. Can you give me a brief sample of what I would do with the timer. I'm limited with my Javascript skills.

I have work a lot with HierMenus. You cannot use any onLoad events or it breaks. I always put the function call I needed at onLoad in the HierMenus initiallization functions.

Would the call go in the HM_Loader.js file?

Ah, I got it to work. I removed the onload function call and put it in the HM_ScriptDOM.js file. Thanks for everyone's help.
