Topic awaiting preservation: STM-stuff

I'm a real beginner here...just learning a little javascript.
I'm looking at a site's code which has about three acres of this stuff which begins:
beginSTMB...and carries on: appendSTMI...etcetera, etcetera
I'm wondering what these letters mean. Some sort of internal style-sheet?
I've asked my good fellow-kiwi friend Hiroki, to no avail.
Can anyone help me please?

Example:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
<!--
beginSTM("ORourkeBros","static","0","0","none","false","true","310","50","50","50","","blank.gif");
beginSTMB("auto","0","0","vertically","arrow_r.gif","7","7","0","0","transparent","","tiled","#000000","0","solid","0","Random filter","100","107","48","7","7","0","0","3","#000000","true","#000000","#000000","#000000","none");
appendSTMI("false","","center","middle","","","-1","-1","0","normal","transparent","transparent","","1","-1","-1","nav-safaris.jpg","nav-safaris2.jpg","107","48","0","","","_self", "Arial","9pt","#ffffff","normal","normal","none","Arial","9pt","#ffffff","normal","normal","none","0","solid","#d6d6ce","#d6d6ce","#d6d6ce","#d6d6ce","#d6d6ce","#d6d6ce","#d6d6ce", "#d6d6ce","","","","tiled","tiled");

Hi, BigAL. How are you?
It is good idea to post link too.
Here is here
I am looking code now...

Hmm....No idea though.

Hiroki Kozai

he's got a line in there that reads:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="stm31.js"></script>

... in stm31.js we find:
function beginSTM()

... and so on and so forth..

...working on a project right now, so no time to code-dive, but what you're looking for should be right there...

It appears this is the setup for a bDHTML menu from So Think

Too slow I guess.

With javascript you can include external scripts, you can then call functions with in that script.

If you look high-up in the beging of the html you will find the call to the external script:

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="stm31.js"></script>

stm31.js is the name of the external script.

It's the script included with Sothink's DHTMLmenu, found here:

Man, I suppose it's a bad sign that when I saw this topic I thought, "STM? Shock the Monkey?"

OK, back to the topic...
