css drop down menu loading delay

Posted: Thursday 16 December, 2004
By: charlie wu

hi, i've wrote a drop down menu with css, but it doesn't work with
internet explore, so i added a javascript fix so it works in ie.
now the problem is when the site is loading the drop down menu doesn't
work till the whole site is loaded. this only happen in ie so i think
it's a problem with the javascript. The problem only occurs when web
page is newly loaded not in cache.
does anyone else had similar problems? more importantly does anyone
know how to fix it?
thanx

Three things which should help are using CSS instead of a background image for #top_nav (minor), using valid code (major), and perhaps removing the webstats call (possible the most major problem, but it will need testing to be sure; the "documents.write"'s definitely don't help).

As far as moving the script tag into the body, it should be avoided. Just as you remove the presentational code (CSS) from the body, so should the behavioral code be removed as well.
