First of all I am developing a site, and after coding for around 7 
years and pretty satisfied with HTML 4.0 I decided to venture forth 
into using javascript and CSS.

Most of the javascripts I have used in the past are the freebies 
available online. However, I really couldn't find a script for what I 
was wanting to do. Take that back, I can find a script, but don't 
have the funds to purchase a "pro" version of it. Anyhow, I settled 
on something else, and used DreamWeaver's rollover scripting engine 
to create the javascript.  It is navagation buttons with 3 levels, 
mouseOut, mouseOver and mouseDown.  The js was entered into the 
header part of the page and the script was HUGE. I experimented 
around and created a .js file with the info that was in the headers.

Dreamweaver also add a bunch of stuff to the body tag, along with all 
the coding that goes to calling up the graphics and that increased 
the size of the page even more. I decided to use SSI for the body tag 
and the coding for graphics.

A test page is located at http://www.maddoc.net/test.html (this page 
has all the codes hardcoded onto the page (no .js file and no SSI's 
for the navagation graphics). The "home" button will only take you to 
the old home page ( a new one isn't up yet). The rest of the buttons 
will take you to those pages I am working on, or just the bare page. 
Those pages are the ones with SSI's, and the buttons are acting 
wonky.  I am using Mozilla 1.1 right now to test it with, and 
sometimes the buttons will do the mouseOver, sometimes not. Sometimes 
it will do the mouseDown, sometimes not.  It never reacts the same 
all the time.

Now to get to the question (sorry I am so wordy), is the problem with 
the buttons reacting funny due to the fact the coding is being called 
up thru and SSI? Or am I having another problem, that I can't figure 
out due to not knowing JS or CSS that well?
