John, 

Javascript handles property names differently, and it doesn't
like/use the '-'. What you need is this:

onMouseOver="document.getElementById('menu11').style.backgroundColor
= '#FFFFFF';"

note the property name is "backgroundColor". All the properties are
accessed with JS this way, remove the dash and intercap the word.

HTH
