Drop Down Menu Does not Load/Act

I just installed the Drop Down Skin, and am attempting to use it on 1.14.
After installing skin, the theme loads and looks okay graphically, everything is where it should be. No Error Messages on page. However the Drop Down Menu does not work.
It loads all of my Top Level Titles (*Navigation)from my sidebar on the drop down menu however the sub pages (**Article) do not work.
When you attempt to rollover, nothing occurs. Additionally when you click on the Top Level Title (i.e: Navigation) it just appends a # to the current address in the address bar of the browser.
I have tried using Firefox 3.0, Google Chrome, Safari 3, and IE7. Nothing Works. However when I go to the demo version listed on paulgu.com, it works fine and as it should.
Is there some sort of setting that I need to enable in LocalSettings.php or enable javascript or something along those lines?

Have you copied all files into the skins folder?
Have you enabled Javascript on your browser?

I downloaded the skin file and placed the two php files into the skins main folder and then placed the gumaxdd skin folder into the skins folder as well.
Its not a browser issue, i tested this on two different machines and on several different browsers --- chrome 3 firefox 3, ie 7, safari 3, ie8.
Is there something im missing?
Is there anything i need to add to localsettings.php?
Is there anywhere outside of the sidebar i need to list the menu options?

The only thing that you need to change for LocalSettings.php is make GuMaxDD as default skin. No other changes are required.
It looks the web path causes the problem and this is more like your server side issue ... give me the link then I might tell you what is wrong or check your server setting ...

http://intranet.mywebsite.com/index.php/Main_Page is the link....you won't be able to access it as we use a wiki for an intranet.
is it because it isn't
http://intranet.mywebsite.com/index.php?=Main_Page?
--how do i change that back if it is?
GUMAXXDD isn't the default skin because we want to modify it/skin it out before releasing. Is it a bug that if it is not default skin, meaning we select it through username>preferences>skins the drop down wont work?

<!-- end of Navigation Menu -->
When you hover over the links, they change color showing that they are links and should be clickable -- i don't think the clickability is really the issue rather then the drop down just not displaying
