Yep. It's not the time on the server that gets you, it's the round trip and it just made the menu feel to "sluggish" for my taste. Plus the callback is fired over and over as the user drags the mouse down the menu. I suppose you could pull it off by triggering the callback on click and using some clever loading graphics...or maybe loading the hierarchy one level ahead or something...just didn't work for me. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
