I was having a problem with a pull down links menu similar to the one used
in this ad. It works fine in Netscape and Explorer, but AOL's browser does
not work. I remembered this ad and gave it a try to see if their code works
and guess what. It doesn't! On AOL, all you get is the same page reloading.
Maybe Honda isn't targeting AOL users.

PS, if anyone knows how to do this so it works on AOL, let me know.

ciao,
