Javascript error from DW Template

Question

I got the javascript code below from a css template in
Dreamweaver. It's the code to control which submenu links are
displaying in a horizontal menu bar. I'm getting at Object Required
error from the line in bold.
//menu constructor
function menu(allitems,thisitem,startstate){
callname= "gl"+thisitem;
divname="subglobal"+thisitem;
this.numberofmenuitems = allitems;
this.caller = document.getElementById(callname);
this.thediv = document.getElementById(divname);
this.thediv.style.visibility = startstate;

Answer 1

First thing - there is no *bold* for those who are reading
your post from
the NNTP side. Please don't use text formatting options (or
really, ANY of
the options) from the webforum as they usually fail for the
NNTP readers.
Since most of the answers come from the NNTP group, it's not
a good idea to
confuse them! 8)
Second thing - it looks to me like you are using the HALO
menus on this
page. Those menus were removed from later releases of DW
simply because
they were awkward, goofy, and not best practice. Would there
be a chance
for you to replace them with something a bit more
"contemporary" and less
"quirky"?
Finally, it is not really possible to diagnose your problem
from this
snippet of code - can you post a link to a page that displays
the error
message?
