Just curious: have you been drinking? :D

...onMouseOver="funkymen(1)" onMouseOut="clearmen(1)">

function funkymenu(x)
{
var funkmen= new Array(7)

function clearfunkymenu(x)
{
var clearmen = new Array;

document.getElementById("divname[x]").innerHTML=funkmen[x];

This looks - forgive me - like one of those 'I think I'll just skip those first seven chapters of that JS book' situations. At the least, try giving some of your variables the same names as you intend to refer to them by...

Try smacking your head again. Works for me. :thumbsup:

btw 'Object expected' invariably means 'I can't find that function, and it's your fault.'

Check for name mismatches, syntax errors, other funky flaws...
