I am using the DHTML menu on my website www.littleriverbb.com and I think it looks awesome. I am very happy with it and it is inserted via a .dwt so I only have to modify it once in order to have it changed on all my pages.
However, I have noticed that my pages are huge and that they would be very light if it were not for the menu. I wonder how much it slows down loading of the pages by visitors to the site. Would moving the DHTML over to a .js file speed things up?
If so, I am a complete novice when it comes to .js. I have read the forums here and I think I have the .js file set up correctly...
deleting everything above "function Go(){return}" and
deleting everything below "function AfterCloseAll(){return}"
but I am not sure what I need to put in my .dwt to properly call the .js.
Here are links to my test pages:

I'll take a gander by saying-first find where it says "TargetLoc=''; and put the name of the js file there like this.TargetLoc='Irbbmenubar';
then for the menu to be called you'd use
<span id="menu">
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript" SRC="Irbbmenubar.js"></SCRIPT>
</span>
and copy this to every page you want the menu on.. of course i'm only 49% sure

Bruzer, thanks for the response, I tried it but it did not solve the issue. I assume TargetLoc is supposed to be inside the js file so it seems redundant to set it to "lrbbmenubar".
