[thelist] ColdFusion and Javascript

[Ewing, Christopher]

We get no cold fusion or Javascript errors.  When the page is run
standalone, the menu (with drop downs) works fine.

When it is called via a CFinclude, it doesn't work - no errors, it just
doesn't work.

What do you mean? Do you get CF errors? Do you get JS errors? Do you get
no errors but not the expected results?

I noticed in the code below...

> HM_PG_FontColorOver = "#63639C";
> HM_PG_BGColor = "#63639C";
> HM_PG_BGColorOver = "#CECEFF";

These items need to be escaped. If you have CFOUTPUTs around the
CFINCLUDE, or inside of it, CF will 'trip' on the # sign. You will need
to change it to ##.
