I have a javascript dropdown menu on one of my sites and I am having problems getting the menu to display to the right of the links. Below is the code.
//Contents for menu 1
var menu1=new Array()
menu1[0]='<a href="#">Accomodations</a>'
menu1[1]='<a href="#">Banquet Facilities</a>'
menu1[2]='<a href="#">Entertainment</a>'
//Contents for menu 2
var menu2=new Array()
menu2[0]='<a href="#">Area Awards</a>'
menu2[1]='<a href="#">Child Care</a>'
menu2[2]='<a href="#">Churches</a>'
//Contents for menu 3
var menu3=new Array()
menu3[0]='<a href="#">Chamber Calendar</a>'
menu3[1]='<a href="#">Community Events</a>'
//Contents for menu 4
var menu4=new Array()
menu4[0]='<a href="#">About Us</a>'
menu4[1]='<a href="#">Membership Directory</a>'
menu4[2]='<a href="#">Member Benefits</a>'
menu4[3]='<a href="#">Join SVACC</a>'
menu4[4]='<a href="#">About Joining</a>'
//Contents for menu 5
var menu5=new Array()
menu5[0]='<a href="#">Member Recognition</a>'

menu5[2]='<a href="#">Community Articles</a>'
menu5[3]='<a href="#">Monthly Newsletter</a>'
