Is there a way to load my drop down menu before it loads? There are strange artifacts that appear when my menus load--especially for those with slower connections. Please see my site for details...

Hi Scott,
The menu displays as a list first because the menu rendering script is executed after the whole page has loaded. You can speed up rendering by moving that script exactly beneath the code of the menu.
What you have to do is to take cut this function from the bottom of the page:
<!-- Creative Menus - menu rendering scripts start -->
<script type="text/javascript"> buildMenu() </script>
<noscript>
This menu requires JavaScript in order to be properly displayed. Viewing requirements can be found at <a href="www.extendstudio.com">Extend Studio</a> (Flash components and extensions, Dreamweaver extensions, Tools for web design and development)
</noscript>
<!-- Creative Menus - menu rendering scripts end -->
And move it just beneath this line:
<!-- Creative menu Menu6 end -->
If you need more help, don’t hesitate to ask.
Regards,
|

Hello Denise,
Sorry for the late reply.
I've checked your page in IE 8 and it seems to work. No menu list displayed before the page is loaded. What internet speed do you have ?
Regards,
Andrei

Hello Denise,
Sorry but the problem you are reporting its not reporducing on the different computers that we've tested on. Maybe there is something from your browser. Try a cache clearence and check the page again.
Kind regards,
Andrei Rinciog

I am still having this problem as well. I have tried everything you listed above and still have the problem. I checked on 3 different computers in my home, and 6 different computers at work, 1 computer at my mothers home and 2 computers at my clients work. They are all using hi-speed cable internet 20mb. I have cached all systems. I have used this menu extension on several websites I work on and this is the only one that it is doing this to...You can check out on the live website www.californiacarpets.net. When you first go to the website it takes forever for the menu to load and shows alternate html text until menu loads? Please advise how to fix...I tried copying and pasting the rendering code and pasted it right below the menu code and that still did not work? So let me know what to do? Thanks...Joe Louis
P.S. Other then the issues listed above, I think the product works great!

Hello,
I've sent you a javascript file by email details on how to use it. This should hide the menu structure until the menu is ready. Please confirm when you receive it and tell me if it works.

Andrei

Hello Support,
Unfortunately this did not work for me. Instead this basically just took my menu completely away when the website was loaded? I do not know what I am doing wrong? Please advise. I followed your instructions below and still nothing. What is strange is when I viewed this in "LIVE VIEW" in DWCS4 it worked! so I got happy, uploaded everything to the server and once the website loaded the menu was gone and never re-appeared? So I dont know whats going on and now its frustrating...please advise what I can be doing wrong????
Sincerely, Joe Louis

Hello,
Last week I've placed that code that makes the menu visible again inside a function that was called once a load event was appeared. However, on your page that load event didn't appear and thus the menu was not set to be visible.
So, this last modification will be the one included in the next update.
Regards,
Andrei

Hello,
Can you please forward a copy of the code that hides the menu structure until the menu is ready? We too have had negative feedback from our clients because of this issue.
Thanks,

Hello,
If you want to hide the links before the menu is rendered this is what you must do:
- First, download this menuDisplay.js file from here: http://www.extendstudio.com/product_assets/support_files/menuDisplay_no_texts.zip
- Place it on your server, inside the 'includes' folder. Make sure you replace the existing one.
- Edit your pages and search for this tag in the menu structure:
<div id="menu_holder_[your_menu_name">
- Add a style attribute to make that div invisble:
<div id="menu_holder_[your_menu_name]" style="visibility:hidden;">
We will make an update for the Creative Menus to include the possibility to hide that div by default. However, the patches are not ready yet. Until then, do not edit your menu as it will cancel all the changes.
Note: by applying this all the menu links will be invisible to search engines. So, if you want SEO please do not apply this workaround.

Andrei Rinciog

I'm also having this problem please see http://www.manhattancorp.com/home.html. I've replaced the .js file in the includes folder and added the hidden tag, but there is still a white expanse which eventually closes once the menu has loaded. Please help!

Hello Trevor,
Try to set the height of the "flash-header" div from CSS to 65px.
Tell me if it works afterwards.

To If you want to hide the links before the menu is rendered, I attempted to follow the directions you gave on "post date:
2010-01-22 10:11:03". The result was that the tabbed menu disappeared in all browsers completely. I placed the "<div id="menu_holder_[your_menu_name">" right before "<!--(start menu data)". Is this correct. Does it matter where I placed the unzipped files in the includes folder. Please help ASAP, same tight deadline. :)

I noticed that I broke one of my DIVs while incorrectly implementing this fix, but I don't know where the issue is. When I edit my Flexi CSS Layouts, I get a popup warning,
"The following elements have invalid content! The layout may look broken in browser. Please check for unmatched <div>, </div> in the content tab of the following elements (they are marked with red in the tree structure) :
row_1, row_body_frame"
Row 1 is where i have my menu. Can you please check out my code & help this too…

Hello Karen,
You get the invalid content warning because you have an unclosed div tag in the menu code. You don't have to add a new div in the code to set the hidden CSS attribute. You must add the style to the existing div tag that has the id "menu_holder_menu_holder_topnav_tab-ch"
You can find that div just a little bit above the position where you created that second div with the same ID. So, delete the div you created and place the style to the already existing div tag.
Once the unclosed div tag is removed you will get rid of that warning.
Regards,
Andrei Rinciog

Hi Andrei--
The issues that I was trying to resolve on the menu are
— Displaying text links instead of menu in IE
— No menu displaying at all dues to flash not being supported in IE
— Forcing the drop down menus to overlap the below content
— Having the text links display before the menu loaded
I have poked around in there so much that I am not sure at all what I need to change. Can you please look at what I have & tell me specifically (by line) where I went wrong & what my fixes should be. I need to make sure that anything that I change does not upset a different issue.
Your specific help would be so appreciated as I am not a code guru by any means & am quite lost.
Endless Thanks -- Karen

Hello Karen,
I will send you the a modified version of your HTML page by email so you can see what changes you need to make to the menu.
Basically, I will just remove the div tag that you included manually and this should fix the problem that you are having in IE with the buttons that don't show up.
The submenus on your page are overlapping the content underneath in your page. On what page do you have this problem? In IE 8 as well?
There is nothing we can do to make the menu work on IE 64bit. The menus need Flash Player.
Do you want to display the text links before the menu is loaded or you want to hide them? I made the modifications to the page so they are hidden until the menu is loaded.
As I said, I will send you the page code by email.
Regards,
Andrei Rinciog

Do any of these patches work? Has the modified version come yet? I've used the .js file which does nothing, and when I add the hidden attribute as well it hides the menu completely. Is there a solid fix that works?
