Hi Venky,

the menu's I use are on each page of a web app and the earlier described problem still persist.
Here is a snippet from the generated JSP:

<h:panelGrid binding="#{Index.gridPanel13}" border="0" id="gridPanel13"
    style="height: 100%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%" styleClass="menu">
       <webuijsf:hyperlink actionExpression="#{Index.hyperlink1_action}" binding="#{Index.hyperlink1}"
            id="hyperlink1" onMouseOver="setMenuVisibleFalse('popup1', 'popup2', 'popup3', 'popup4');return false;"
               style="color: #ffffcc; text-decoration: none" text="#{msgs.navigation_home}" url="/faces/Index.jsp"/>
</h:panelGrid>
<h:panelGrid binding="#{Index.gridPanel14}" border="0" id="gridPanel14" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;"/>
    <h:panelGrid binding="#{Index.gridPanel15}" border="0" id="gridPanel15"
           style="height: 100%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%" styleClass="menu">
               <webuijsf:staticText binding="#{Index.staticText2}" id="staticText2"
                  onClick="displayMenuOne(event); return false;" onMouseOver="displayMenuOne(event); return false;"
                   style="color: #ffffcc" text="#{msgs.navigation_solutions}"/>
</h:panelGrid>
<h:panelGrid binding="#{Index.gridPanel16}" border="0" id="gridPanel16" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;"/>
     <h:panelGrid binding="#{Index.gridPanel17}" border="0" id="gridPanel17"
            style="height: 100%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%" styleClass="menu">
                <webuijsf:staticText binding="#{Index.staticText3}" id="staticText3"
                   onClick="displayMenuTwo(event); return false;" onMouseOver="displayMenuTwo(event); return false;"
                    style="color: #ffffcc" text="#{msgs.navigation_software}"/>
</h:panelGrid>
<h:panelGrid binding="#{Index.gridPanel18}" border="0" id="gridPanel18" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;"/>
     <h:panelGrid binding="#{Index.gridPanel19}" border="0" id="gridPanel19"
            style="height: 100%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%" styleClass="menu">
                <webuijsf:staticText binding="#{Index.staticText4}" id="staticText4"
                   onClick="displayMenuThree(event); return false;" onMouseOver="displayMenuThree(event); return false;"
                    style="color: #ffffcc" text="#{msgs.navigation_services}"/>
</h:panelGrid>
<h:panelGrid binding="#{Index.gridPanel20}" border="0" id="gridPanel20" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;"/>
     <h:panelGrid binding="#{Index.gridPanel21}" border="0" id="gridPanel21"
            style="height: 100%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%" styleClass="menu">
                <webuijsf:staticText binding="#{Index.staticText5}" id="staticText5"
                   onClick="displayMenuFour(event); return false;" onMouseOver="displayMenuFour(event); return false;"
                    style="color: #ffffcc" text="#{msgs.navigation_company}"/>
</h:panelGrid>

and here is the javascript:

/**
 * Display the first popup menu
 */
 function displayMenuOne(event) {
     document.getElementById("form1:popup1").open(event);
 }
 
 /**
  * Display the second popup menu
  */
 function displayMenuTwo(event) {
     document.getElementById("form1:popup2").open(event);
 }
 
 /**
  * Display the third popup menu
  */
 function displayMenuThree(event) {
     document.getElementById("form1:popup3").open(event);
 }
 
 /**
  * Display the forth popup menu
  */
 function displayMenuFour(event) {
     document.getElementById("form1:popup4").open(event);
 }
 
/**
 * Set Visisble false for popup menu
 */
 function setMenuVisibleFalse(menu1, menu2, menu3, menu4) {
     if ( document.getElementById("form1:" + menu1).getProps().visible ) {
         document.getElementById("form1:" + menu1).setProps({visible: false});
     }
     else if ( document.getElementById("form1:" + menu2).getProps().visible ) {
         document.getElementById("form1:" + menu2).setProps({visible: false});
     }
     else if ( document.getElementById("form1:" + menu3).getProps().visible ) {
         document.getElementById("form1:" + menu3).setProps({visible: false});
     }
     else if ( document.getElementById("form1:" + menu4).getProps().visible ) {
         document.getElementById("form1:" + menu4).setProps({visible: false});
     }
     return false;
 }
 
Attached are two snapshot.

Thanks
