function inside function

now menu displays but onmouseover doesnt work i have an error "the object doesnt service the metod or the property"
i use
onMouseOver=\'t his.changeLinkS tyleOn(this.id) \' <---- this probably causes the error

What is the onmouseover attached to? Don't forget that JavaScript is case-sensitive, so it should be lower-case.

[oll3i]

onmouseover is attached to a href

document.write('a href=\'/HRDB/candidates/\' id=\'candidates\' onclick=\'this.changeLinkStyleOn(this.id)\' onmouseover=\'this.changeLinkStyleOn(this.id)\' onmouseout=\'this.changeLinkStyleOut(this.id)\' );

and these functions are defined as
Menu.prototype. changeLinkStyle On = function(id){co de}

[acoder]

Where is this document.write statement? Remember that you can't use document.write after the page has loaded, at least not for reliable results because it opens the document again for writing.

[oll3i]

Menu.prototype.display= function(){ here document.write statements}

and then in .jsp file

<script>
var menu = new Menu(here variables passed);
menu.display();
</script>

It'd probably be better to create the link dynamically rather than use document.write. In that statement, this would refer to the link, not the Menu object which is probably what you want. To refer to the menu, attach onclick/mouseover/out events dynamically outside the write.
