 * Hi Folks,
 * I’m in the process of adding a wordpress blog to our website to make news updates
   easier and more functional. Basically I wanted it to replicate our current html
   news section.
 * Old news section: [http://www.partnersdesign.net/news.html](http://www.partnersdesign.net/news.html)
   
   new wp enabled news section: [http://www.partnersdesign.net/news](http://www.partnersdesign.net/news)
   current website(if needed): [http://www.partnersdesign.net](http://www.partnersdesign.net)
 * I’ve got my styling pretty much where I want to be, however the big problem is
   the javascript navigation in th header that was built for our current site. I
   simply wanted to reuse it and incorporate it into the header.php of the wordpress
   news. I thought I had luck doing this by adding absolute paths to the numerous
   image and url links that were in the js code. It was working great until I tested
   it on some other machines. I found that sometimes the menu doesn’t appear. It’s
   like the browser isn’t seeing/reading the script src (head_wp.js) that runs the
   menu.
 * It doesn’t show up in IE, sometimes does/sometimes doesn’t show in firefox, and
   always shows in chrome. I’m sorry I’m at my wits end trying to get this working.
   Obviously I’m pretty new to this. Any help would be super-appreciated.

 * Thanks esmi,
 * I read through the page and tried some things.
 * I used this code between the <meta> and <link> tags:
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/mootools.js"></script>
       <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/nav.js"></script>
       <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/studio.js"></script>
       <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/AC_RunActivecontent.js"></script>
       ```
   
 * And then create the div that displays the menu after the </head>:
 *     ```
       <div id="header">
       <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/head_wp.js"></script>
       		</div><!-- #header -->
       ```
   
 * And it functions that way on FF4, Chrome and Safari. But it still isn’t displaying
   in IE and FF 3.6
 * I’ve also tried enqueueing mootools first, but that didn’t work either. I’m not
   sure if I need to enqueue all my initial scripts.
 * I’m going to keep trying here. Hopefully a breakthrough will come soon. Anybody
   know what might be wrong?
