Well, I feel a bit stupid about that one :) The javascript was
originally in the head section and I moved it to an external file when I
was working on xhtml validation. Completely forgot to remove the script
tags.
Removing those takes care of the error in IE...but, alas, it still
doesn't make the drop down menu work.
The thing that gets me is that the menu worked just fine in IE when the
styles were applied to the global ul and li elements. But when I changed
the style to #mainnav ul and li, it continued to work in Moz/Firefox,
but stopped working in IE.
