# Getting jQuery Drop Line Menu to function correctly

 * [16 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-jquery-drop-line-menu-to-function-correctly/)
 * I designed a theme using the jQuery Drop Line Menu by Dynamic Drive. You may 
   view this working on a non wordpress version: [http://www.joeymerchant.com/aai/](http://www.joeymerchant.com/aai/)
 * Here is the site with the same code embedded in the header of my customized default
   template. [http://www.joeymerchant.com/aai/blog](http://www.joeymerchant.com/aai/blog)
 * As you can see, the down arrows do not display anymore. This is more evident 
   in internet explorer though because of the broken image link graphic. In firefox
   I can see the tab correctly just without the down arrow.
 * Here is the code in my javascript file (droplinemenu.js):
 *     ```
       var droplinemenu={
   
       arrowimage: {classname: 'downarrowclass', src: 'down.png', leftpadding: 5}, //customize down arrow image
       animateduration: {over: 200, out: 100}, //duration of slide in/ out animation, in milliseconds
   
       buildmenu:function(menuid){
       	jQuery(document).ready(function($){
       		var $mainmenu=$("#"+menuid+">ul")
       		var $headers=$mainmenu.find("ul").parent()
       		$headers.each(function(i){
       			var $curobj=$(this)
       			var $subul=$(this).find('ul:eq(0)')
       			this._dimensions={h:$curobj.find('a:eq(0)').outerHeight()}
       			this.istopheader=$curobj.parents("ul").length==1? true : false
       			if (!this.istopheader)
       				$subul.css({left:0, top:this._dimensions.h})
       			var $innerheader=$curobj.children('a').eq(0)
       			$innerheader=($innerheader.children().eq(0).is('span'))? $innerheader.children().eq(0) : $innerheader //if header contains inner SPAN, use that
       			$innerheader.append(
       				'<img src="'+ droplinemenu.arrowimage.src
       				+'" class="' + droplinemenu.arrowimage.classname
       				+ '" style="border:0; padding-left: '+droplinemenu.arrowimage.leftpadding+'px" />'
       			)
       			$curobj.hover(
       				function(e){
       					var $targetul=$(this).children("ul:eq(0)")
       					if ($targetul.queue().length<=1) //if 1 or less queued animations
       						if (this.istopheader)
       							$targetul.css({left: $mainmenu.offset().left, top: $mainmenu.offset().top+this._dimensions.h})
       						if (document.all && !window.XMLHttpRequest) //detect IE6 or less, fix issue with overflow
       							$mainmenu.find('ul').css({overflow: (this.istopheader)? 'hidden' : 'visible'})
       						$targetul.slideDown(droplinemenu.animateduration.over)
       				},
       				function(e){
       					var $targetul=$(this).children("ul:eq(0)")
       					$targetul.slideUp(droplinemenu.animateduration.out)
       				}
       			) //end hover
       		}) //end $headers.each()
       		$mainmenu.find("ul").css({display:'none', visibility:'visible', width:$mainmenu.width()})
       	}) //end document.ready
       }
       }
       ```
   
 * Here is a link to the menu source files: [http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/csslibrary/item/jquery_drop_line_menu/](http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/csslibrary/item/jquery_drop_line_menu/)
 * Thanks in advance for the help!!

 * Thanks t31os_!
 * Shortly after I posted this I continued researching and discovered that I needed
   to use the absolute path to the image in the .js file…. tried it and it worked
   🙂
