>> the menu is taking up to 5 seconds to load upon each page hit Steve, do the menu items get created in realtime (db query on page load) or do you use an external .js file which is re-written on changes/edits?

It's quite fast.   George >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 25/03/04 8:46:39 >>> hey everyone,   i have been using V3 of "HierMenus" dhtml menu on our intranet here for almost 3 years now, but due to the growth of the intranet (and subsequent menu growth), the menu is taking up to 5 seconds to load upon each page hit. And it's not just a matter of the page rendering and waiting for the menu to catch up... the page does not load UNTIL the menu is finished loading, so the user sits looking at a white screen for 3-5 seconds each page hit, which is frustrating to say the least (not to mention embarrassing for me as the developer of the site!)   a quick visit to HierMenus Central.com tells me they are almost ready to release V6 of HierMenus which, of all things, has the ability to create menus on-the-fly upon mouse-over, which is exactly what i am looking for. unfortunately it is now a licenced product with a hefty price tag (approx US$1K) so i am now in search of an alternative solution... ie. cheaper solution!   i posted this question a few weeks ago, but did not get a single response, so here goes again.   can anyone recommend a low-cost dhtml menu system that enables on-the-fly menu building upon mouse over that sounds like it might suit me? all i want is a menu that does not hold up page loading. we are 100% IE5+ environment.   thanks,   steve c --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MXDU2004 + Macromedia DevCon AsiaPac + Sydney, Australia http://www.mxdu.com/ + 24-25 February, 2004 --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MXDU2004 + Macromedia DevCon AsiaPac + Sydney, Australia http://www.mxdu.com/ + 24-25 February, 2004 --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MXDU2004 + Macromedia DevCon AsiaPac + Sydney, Australia http://www.mxdu.com/ + 24-25 February, 2004 AMES (Adult Multicultural Education Services) www.ames.net.au Disclaimer ********************************************************************** This email and any attachments may be confidential.
