Not even trying to build?  That rings a bell for me.

Chances are that your javascript menu needs to be invoked when the page 
loads, typically with a <BODY OnLoad=foobar>-type scenario.   Do you have 
code to do such anywhere in your IC pages?  Doesn't sound like it.

If you don't want to muscle it into the <BODY> tag of your pages, you might 
be successful with putting a <script>DoMenus()</script> or whatever in the 
footer area of your pages.   And further, you should do some testing in 
your secure space, as you may find that some modifications will be needed 
to have your menus work in SSL.

Other than that, I fear that this thread is dangerously off-topic -- so 
hopefully this helps you.
