Mr. Milonic keeps showing up

Post by TimBert »

How come the Milonic box keeps showing up from time to time when I first go to a page containing the menu? I have to refresh the page (sometimes twice) before it will go away. Visitors ain't goin' to know that they should do that to see the home page link.

Hey,

It could be a timing issue. Are you on a slow connection? In other words, the menu may be rendering before the page is finished loading. Once the menu appears, it doesn't see that you have the required link to http://milonic.com/ on the page, and forces the change in the first menu item... then, finally, the required link shows up, but it's too late!

To test the theory, move the <script> line that loads menu_data.js to somewhere in the <body>, past where you have your link to milonic.com... perhaps even just before </body>. See if that at least solves that problem. It may not be ideal placement in the code, but it may have the virtue of working! Let us know.

I have T1 both at home and at work; however, the one at home is a lot slower as (apparently) we are right on the limit for line resistance. It is at home that I have noticed the Milonic box showing up where Home Page is supposed to be. I have moved the script as suggested and will see if that changes things when I view the page at home. Thanks for the suggestion.

Try upgrading to version 5.04 - I've increased the wait slighty so should help fix things.

Cheers
