I'm not sure if this is a cache problem on a browser or what, but it has happened on a couple different computers and on a couple different browsers, so I am wondering if there something I can do to fix it:
My DHTML menu will be working perfectly, and then all the sudden I'll open one of the pages of my website, and the menu doesn't work. It acts like it is just a picture or something, it does not do anything when I click on it... and if I wait a while, it will start working again!
I am using a single .js file and pulling it into all these different pages, and it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Is there something I can do about this?

MK,

Try downloading the latest version of the DHTML Menu program, and see if that helps.

Another thing I noticed is lh#.ggpht.com (the # is various numbers) is continually loading. I don't know if that affects the javascript, but it sure keeps the browser busy.

Ok, I will try the new DHTML program and see. That might be the problem, as the home page menu was done with the new program and it never has that problem, and the other was done with a different program and it is the one with a problem... I shall see.

The lh#.ggpht.com seems to only continuously load on the home page, not on the other pages. The homepage also is the only page with a slideshow that it is pulling in from another site (picasa). Could that loading message be the browser pulling the photos from Picasa?

MK,

Yes, the loading message could be the slide show pulling in the photos.

You certainly have a lot of photos in that gallery, and some of the scenes are spectacular.

Let me know what happens with the menu.

Well, I'm not sure if that has fixed my problem yet... but I have another one.
I am adding another link to the menu, and that makes it too long for an average browser screen. So, I have split my links into two menus, and am trying to put the second one in a separate span underneath the first. When I go to preview the page, I get this error message: "stack overflow at line: 198"
When I test each menu separately, they both work fine.

Any ideas?

Just browsing through the forum, it looks like I'm trying to do the impossible by placing two menus on one page... so is there a way to make my one menu have two lines?

Hi MK,
I have Seen 2 Dhtml menus on a page with one being an iframe, so it is possible to without errors. just an FYI. Bill would know more about that.
good luck and nice site.

I have not tried to put two DHTML menus on a single page, but Bruce has an idea. I will give it a try and see what happens.

I have given it a run, and can not get it to work with two menus. If I have a menu enabled in the main page, the iframe menu does not show. If I remove the menu in the main page, the iframe menu displays.

One suggestion I can make is to manually build the second menu. That is what I do for my site on one page.

A second suggestion would be to reduce the font size and shrink the menu enough to accommodate the added menu item.

Bruce,

If you have a link to a dual DHTML menu page, let me know. I would like to look at it.
