CSS problem - help needed

[nozzmoking]

Hope someone can help me fix this. Every page on a new site I'm working on loads but with the following script error:

Line: 37
Char. 7
Error. 'menuitem1.thediv' is null or not an object
Code 0

This is the code with the offending line highlighted.


<!--
var time = 3000;
var numofitems = 7;

//menu constructor
function menu(allitems,thisitem,startstate){
callname= "gl"+thisitem;
divname="subglobal"+thisitem;
this.numberofmenuitems = 7;
this.caller = document.getElementById(callname);
this.thediv = document.getElementById(divname);
this.thediv.style.visibility = startstate;
}

//menu methods
function ehandler(event,theobj){
for (var i=1; i<= theobj.numberofmenuitems; i++){
var shutdiv =eval( "menuitem"+i+".thediv");
shutdiv.style.visibility="hidden";
}
theobj.thediv.style.visibility="visible";
}

function closesubnav(event){
if ((event.clientY <48)||(event.clientY > 107)){
for (var i=1; i<= numofitems; i++){
var shutdiv =eval('menuitem'+i+'.thediv');
shutdiv.style.visibility='hidden';
}
}
}
// -->


Makes no sense to me whatsoever. Ideas anyone?

TIA

I'm not a scripting guru, but I think it might possibly have something to do with using quotation marks instead of apostrophes. Try using apostrophes to surround the words menuitem and .thediv and see if that works.
