mmneu.js version 3.3.19

At http://dtccom.net/~garysmit/thebytefactory_6/ I must often Refresh the page after the first load for the menu to display. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Cheers,
Gary

Hi,

Ermm . . . . Seems alright to me - loaded first time.

What browser are you using?

Andy,
Thanks for taking a look. I normally use IE5.0. I think the important thing to note is that the problem happens mostly over slower connections. My connection is 1/2 ISDN (which is 64K) and it often happens on the first load. By "first load" I mean, coming back to the site after visiting any other unrelated site.

Cheers,
Gary

I didn't have a problem viewing the menus, but are the sub menus supposed to stay down as you move along the top bar, I would have thought that once you move from "Services" to "Download" the Services sub menu should disappear? Or is this how it works?

Frank,
Good eye! You are correct, the submenus should disappear. It is probably a frameset related problem and Andy is working on the solution even now.

Thanks for the feedback!

Cheers,
Gary

I just had an idea. I'll bet that the "refresh required over a slow connection" problem has something to do with the order or speed in which the frames load. Think about it, in a frameset menu, there are actually 2 menus that interact with each other. The "Main" menu might need to call into the "Content" menu and it hasn't finished loading yet. I admit I do have a large image in the content frame. I'm sure a few of you have investigated how the menu works.... any comments?

Cheers,
Gary
