EDIT: Found the problem. Why does this onmousedown event only fire once? thanks...

<html><head><title>Navigation List Example</title><style type="text/css">ul {margin:0;padding:0 0 10px 0;width: 100px;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14px;font-weight: bolder;color: #333333;list-style: none;}ul li {margin-bottom: 2px;padding: 2px;text-align: center;}ul li a {color: #FFFFFF;display: block;background-color: #727272;border: medium solid #333333;text-decoration: none;vertical-align: middle;}ul.submenu {margin-top: 10px;}ul.submenu li a {background-color: #fff;border: 0;color: #666;font-size: 12px;height: 18px;}</style><script type="text/javascript">function moveIt(event, obj){x=event.clientX;y=event.clientY;obj.style.position = "absolute";obj.style.top = 75;obj.style.left = 100;}</script></head><body onmousedown="moveIt(event, document.getElementById('move'))" id="show"><h1>Navigation List Example</h1><ul id="move"><li><a href="index.php?menu=home_m">Home</a></li><li><a href="news.php?menu=news_m">News</a></li><li><a href="info.php?menu=info_m">Info</a></li><li><a href="services.php?menu=services_m">Services</a></li><li><a href="contact_us.php?menu=contact_us_m">Contact Us</a></li><li><a href="legal.php?menu=legal_m">Legal Links</a>  <ul class="submenu">   <li><a href="legal.php?menu=legal_m&page=terms_of_use">Terms of Use</a></li>   <li><a href="legal.php?menu=legal_m&page=privacy_policy">Privacy Policy</a></li>  </ul></li></ul> </body></html>

You told it to move to position 75, 100. That's the place it's going to go to every time you click. This page is running in quirks mode, if it had a DOCTYPE it wouldn't work properly. You need to add "px" to the position units.

obj.style.left = 75 + "px";

Another problem is the event object: I don't think inline event attributes have an event object (except in Internet Explorer where it is global). You need to attach the event handler with Javascript.

document.body.onmousedown = function(e) {    e = e ? e : window.event;    moveIt(e, document.getElementById("move");}
