slow loading of menu

kristian · Post by **kristian** » Sat Jun 22, 2002 9:31 am

hey,

this menu is perfect, besides that it now all of a sudden loads really slow.

when i load a page, everything on the page loades fine, besides the menu. but when i click 'stop' the menu appears...so it seems to have loaded, but it's not showing until i stop loading the page. check it out here: http://www.weezer.no/menu.shtml (the menu is to appear on the black horizontal line below the top logo and over the submenu with white background)

how can i fix this?

Yes, I have noticed in speed, I have just updated mmenu.js file today and it is very slow compare to the previous version.

Hi,

Version 3.4.07 had a bug in that it waited until the page had finished loading before the menu appeared.

If you upgrade to version 3.4.12 this problem should be solved.

The version I am using is 3.4.12, just updated today and noticed the slow speed.
Thanks

Yep, I updated my mmenu.js file today and now the whole page loads before the menu displays. This is annoying since I hide a simple HTML menu behind the Milonic one for browsers without JavaScript or with it turned off. At least it does finally display without the user doing anything special, but it looks like I'll be reverting to the old version for a while.

Do any of you have loadWait set to 1?

If so, that's the problem.

It will be in mmenu.js.

If not give me some URL's and I'll take a look

I just checked, and there is no reference to loadwait in either mmenu.js or menu_array.js, so there goes that idea.

loadWait was added at around version 3.4.08 if memory serves me well, which is usually doesn't

What version are you using?

Do you have a URL that i could see?

Cheers

The mmneu.js I have on my site is version 3.3.18, but the one I'm having trouble with is 3.4.12. I looked in the new version but couldn't find any reference to loadwait.

You are welcome to look at my site - http://mrgreen.image-power.com, and the menu stuff is in the /menu/ directory.

CIAO - mrgreen.

Hi,

I just checked the mmenu.js file (version 3.4.12), and loadWait is set to 0 (on line 17 it looks like.... loadWait=0;).

URL for my site (with version 3.4.12, which is slower than what I had previously) is http://www.brite-sparks.com
