Here is my web page. NOTE that at first the menu loads ABOVE my two swf embedded files, then after everything loads the menu THEN appears where it should, just below the two swf slideshows
http://www.paspinespecialists.com/beta/index.htm

It is OK after everything is in cache BUT I am sure my customer will not approve it this way.
Can you help me?
Thanks Jim

Hello James,

Move the script for the menu at the end of the page, after the swf object scripts.

I tried putting the scripts at end of page but still got a 4 second lag where the menu bar appeared at top of page only in FireFox on every page reload.
I solved that by forcing the menu to appear correctly by using AP div absolute positioning.
Now ALL browsers always display menu in correct position.
I DID move the scripts back to top and only problem now is that in IE6, 7 and 8 I see the list items appear for a very quick flash BEFORE my Creative Menu loads.
Can you test that and tell me if that can be fixed?

PS I did delete the two slide show rotators at top and tested by using static 38 k images on a page called index2.htm , Still acting same way in all ie browsers

Thank you very much

Hello James,

Text shows up because is loaded first, before the javascript is executed. This is not noticeable on fast internet connection.

We do have a workaround if you want to change this behavior. However, I don't recommend it if you need SEO on your website. The links of the buttons are placed in the page so they are visible to search engines. The workaround hides them from the page until the menu is rendered. Thus, they won't be visible to search engines anymore.

Tell me if you want the modified version of the rendering script.
