Problem with IE6 & Dreamweaver MX 2004 Template

Hello, I am new to Dreamweaver and am in the process of redoing my
grandfather's website using Dreamweaver, I am experiencing the following error
(only with IE6, no errors with Netscape or Mozilla):

Line: 41
Char: 7
Error: 'menuitem1.thediv' is null or not an object
Code: 0
URL: http://www.dmnatural.com

Any ideas what would cause this? Or how to correct it?

The URL for the website is http://www.dmnatural.com/index.html, if one of the
more experienced coders could please give it a look or give me some advice it
would be immensely appreciated!

Thanks in Advance!
Nathan

Good grief.

What is this - <body onmousemove="closesubnav(event);"> ?

I had to turn off js errors to even get your page to load.

That happens in the standard Dreamweaver templates if you mouseover the menu
before the page has loaded. It's not a very good script. You can probably do
something like this on your links:

Change this:

<a href="/mypage.asp" id="gl5" class="glink"
onmouseover="ehandler(event,menuitem5);">My Page</a>

to this:

<a href="/mypage.asp" id="gl5" class="glink"
onmouseover="try{ehandler(event,menuitem5)}catch(e){};">My Page</a>

although it's sort of a cheesy workaround.

Also, the error you are seeing on your page is probably the result of a
server-side error in your page somewhere that is preventing the last section
of the JavaScript at the bottom of the page from loading in. If this section
does not load in, you will not be able to view the page due to the
JavaScript errors.
