How to put regular site javascript menu on store?

[jrf]

Apologies for this very basic question but I've searched for clear answer to this -
I want my pulldown menu system at the top of the store page. Every store page.
I found info here about changing tpl_header.php and can do this (putting it into my own template common folder) but my menu depends on a javascript source file... in other words, it should be somewhere more basic than in this include?

Forgive my newbie-ishness and thank you...

If you look at the directories in template_default you should see a jscript dir.
This and others can be replicated in your template dir and the js for your menu placed in this folder

Thank you for this - I am struggling w/this and have read the docs...
do the actual files (firewords menu files like mm_menu.js) have to actually have their filenames prefixed with "jscript_" and "onload_"?

The menu I'm trying to put in is Fireworks which has 3 parts -
1. javascript menu functions that belong in the HEAD, (I used to have this there as a php include: <?php include("menufunctions.htm"); ?>

2. This was also in HEAD:<script language="JavaScript1.2" src="mm_menu.js"></script>
</script>
3. And this was after BODY:<script language="JavaScript1.2">mmLoadMenus();</script>

I have all 3 in jscript but am now wondering if any of these need to be in ONLOAD folder...
any advice or a model of this is much appreciated...

I believe by placing the script in the jscript folder and giving it the prefix of jscript_ it will automatically be called in the header, no need to add part #2 in your question

To make the menu appear just place the body code into your page/sidebox etc. where you want it to show.

If this is for a flash type of header - serarch here for "flash header" as this has been covered many times

Got it!
All who patiently answered me - thank you. When I feel competent enough a zenner I will try to pay back!
For the Fireworks menu -
the mm_menu.js gets renamed jscript_mm_menu.js and put in one's customized templates folder/jscript.
It gets added as tho it were in in its usual SCRIPT tag in the HEAD -

In tpl_header.php (after saving the original in case) I added these 2:
1. a php include for the function mmLoadMenus...
2. script call (<script language="Javascript1.2">mmLoadMenus<>;</script>

Then - the piece I forgot!!! - the most important piece - is put the actual menu in - which is either in a menu table or div... that displays the whole thing and calls the functions.
I didn't use on_load folder at all. Am sure there is a more elegant way to do this but - it works. Thanks again. Guess I'd better get that zencart book...
