Links won't work! Help!

[kimballohara]

I'm using a multiple image rollover script combined with a drop-down menu. The image rollover works and the menu works, but clicking on the images doesn't result in a redirect--the user simply remains on the same page. In other words, the rollover and the drop-down menu work, but the link itself doesn't! Please help. Here's the script:

<style type="text/css">

#dropmenudiv{
position:absolute;
border:1px 8c0001;
border-bottom-width: 0;
font:normal 11px Verdana;
line-height:18px;
z-index:100;
}

#dropmenudiv a{
width: 100%;
display: block;
text-indent: 10px;
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
padding: 3px 0;
text-decoration: none;
background-color: 121212;
}

#dropmenudiv a:hover{ /*hover background color*/
background-color: bababa;
}

</style>

<script type="text/javascript">

...And here's the code in the body of the page:

<td><a href="/" onClick="return clickreturnvalue()" onMouseover="dropdownmenu(this, event, menu4, '140px')" onMouseout="delayhidemenu()"><img src="/images/b4-off.jpg" border="0" class="domroll /images/b4-on.jpg" /></a></td>
<td><a href="/" onClick="return clickreturnvalue()" onMouseover="dropdownmenu(this, event, menu5, '143px')" onMouseout="delayhidemenu()"><img src="/images/b5-off.jpg" border="0" class="domroll /images/b5-on.jpg" /></a></td>
<td><a href="/"><img src="/images/b6.jpg" border="0"></a></td>
</tr>
</table>

Any idea why the links ("/expeditions", for example) won't work?
Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm not sure. I do know that netscape 6 and IE 4 are soo out of the loop that I can't imagine why all that stuff is in the file. Almost noone uses those browsers anymore. That's like a less than 0.1% market share you're dealing with there.

anyways, to be frank, I don't quite understand the script.
