I am trying to make an expanded menu using CSS and Javascript. So far i've managed to build from a tutorial from another site and the expanding bit works.

This is where im at so far:
http://www.poker-society.co.uk/CHAOS/menu.html
The menu expands as long as i press the text link, but i want it to expand once ive pressed the image headings for the submenus, i.e Attacks, Armoury & Guild.

I understand basic html and css but im not sure what triggers the lists to expand as i cant see a javascript method call. I tried changing the

  • menu heading names and inserting images instead but to no avail.

    • Can anyone help me?

    Thanks

    CSS + Menu Code:

    <head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Menu Test</title>
 
<script type="text/javascript" src="expandingMenu.js"></script>
 
<style type="text/css">
ul#menu {
  width: 200px;
  list-style-type: none;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}
 
ul#menu ol {
  display: none;
  text-align: left;
  list-style-type: none;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0px;
}
 
ul#menu li, 
  ul#menu a {
  font-family: verdana, sans-serif;
  font-size: 11px;
  color: #8e0101;
}
 
ul#menu li.attack {
background-image:url(Images/attack.jpg);
  line-height: 31px;
}
 
ul#menu li.armoury {
background-image:url(Images/armoury.jpg);
  line-height: 31px;
}
 
ul#menu li.guild {
background-image:url(Images/guild.jpg);
  line-height: 31px;
}
 
 
ul#menu ol li {
  background-image:url(Images/empty.jpg);
  font-weight: bold;
  text-align:center;
  border-bottom: none;
}
 
ul#menu a {
  text-decoration: none;
  outline: none;
}
 
ul#menu a:hover {
  color: #539dbc;
}
 
ul#menu a.active {
  color: #be5028;
}
</style>
</head>
 
<body>
<ul id="menu">
  <li class="attack">Attacks                           <!-- Tried inserting image here -->
    <ol>
