menu last thing to load, causing problems
I just redesigned my website and included a dhtml menu found at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...menu/index.htm
I chose that menu because it seemed to be compatible with just about every browser, and it's easy to use.
I've noticed that the menu is the very last thing to load on a page. My pages are low in graphics, but I have 2 or 3 banners on them from various ad servers. The menu won't load until all ads have loaded, and sometimes the ad servers (burst, TF, etc) are slow. If an ad doesn't appear at all, then the menu just sits and doesn't always load either.
I hope this makes sense.
How can I get the menu to go ahead and load without waiting for the ad banners?
Is this typical of all menus of this type?
thanks!

put the menu in the first part of your script, preferably in an external JS as this will get cached. Once you go to the site and cache the external JS it will load instaneously for consecutive pages
LiveScript: Putting the "Live" Back into JavaScript
if live output_as_javascript else output_as_html end if
