I'm trying to figure out what's going on here. I created a horizontal menu bar and it was working fine. Then the submenus stopped showing up at all. I must have changed something that messed it up but I can't figure out what it is. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I'm a newbie so my CSS is probably a little messy but here it is.

<script src="SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<style type="text/css">

<td valign="bottom"><ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
<li>
<div align="center"><a href="#" class="MenuBarItemSubmenu style24">Circle of Friends</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">About Us</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Fall/ Spring Sessions</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Summer Sessions</a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">Forms</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Application</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Survey</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Membership Packet</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
<li><a href="#" class="MenuBarItemSubmenu style24">Homeschooling</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">African Americans &amp; Homeschooling</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Homeschooling in Middle TN</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="#">Calendar</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Circle of Friends Events</a> </li>
<li><a href="#">Middle TN Events</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#" class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">Resources</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Stuff You Need</a></li>
<li><a href="#">We Can Help!</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Links</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var MenuBar1 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("MenuBar1", {imgDown:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarDownHover.gif", imgRight:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarRightHover.gif"});

SpryMenuBar.js
This file handles the JavaScript for Spry Menu Bar. You should have no need
to edit this file. Some highlights of the MenuBar object is that timers are
used to keep submenus from showing up until the user has hovered over the parent
menu item for some time, as well as a timer for when they leave a submenu to keep
showing that submenu until the timer fires.

That's a lot of code to wade through... Do you have a live posting of the page so we can see it in action?
