Force loading of the Smooth Navigational Menu?

[Bluesplayer]

1) Script Title: Smooth Navigational Menu

2) Script URL (on DD): http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/ddsmoothmenu.htm

3) Describe problem: I have a wibiya toolbar on my site and I notice that should the toolbar be slow to load then the Smooth Nav Menu won't either. It only loads after the toolbar does. Is there a way to make sure the menu loads regardless of the condition of the toolbar?

If you place this sort of thing:

<script type="text/javascript">

ddsmoothmenu.init({
	mainmenuid: "smoothmenu1", //menu DIV id
	orientation: 'h', //Horizontal or vertical menu: Set to "h" or "v"
	classname: 'ddsmoothmenu', //class added to menu's outer DIV
	//customtheme: ["#1c5a80", "#18374a"],
	contentsource: "markup" //"markup" or ["container_id", "path_to_menu_file"]
})

ddsmoothmenu.init({
	mainmenuid: "smoothmenu2", //Menu DIV id
	orientation: 'v', //Horizontal or vertical menu: Set to "h" or "v"
	classname: 'ddsmoothmenu-v', //class added to menu's outer DIV
	//customtheme: ["#804000", "#482400"],
	contentsource: "markup" //"markup" or ["container_id", "path_to_menu_file"]
})

</script>

as the very last thing before your closing </body> tag, you should be able to edit the ddsmoothmenu.js file here (near the end):

init:function(setting){
	if (typeof setting.customtheme=="object" && setting.customtheme.length==2){ //override default menu colors (default/hover) with custom set?
		var mainmenuid='#'+setting.mainmenuid
		var mainselector=(setting.orientation=="v")? mainmenuid : mainmenuid+', '+mainmenuid
		document.write('<style type="text/css">\n'
			+mainselector+' ul li a {background:'+setting.customtheme[0]+';}\n'
			+mainmenuid+' ul li a:hover {background:'+setting.customtheme[1]+';}\n'
		+'</style>')
	}
	this.shadow.enable=(document.all && !window.XMLHttpRequest)? false : this.shadow.enable //in IE6, always disable shadow
	jQuery(document).ready(function($){ //ajax menu?
		if (typeof setting.contentsource=="object"){ //if external ajax menu
			ddsmoothmenu.getajaxmenu($, setting)
		}
		else{ //else if markup menu
			ddsmoothmenu.buildmenu($, setting)
		}
	})
}

} //end ddsmoothmenu variable

to:

init:function(setting){
	if (typeof setting.customtheme=="object" && setting.customtheme.length==2){ //override default menu colors (default/hover) with custom set?
		var mainmenuid='#'+setting.mainmenuid
		var mainselector=(setting.orientation=="v")? mainmenuid : mainmenuid+', '+mainmenuid
		document.write('<style type="text/css">\n'
			+mainselector+' ul li a {background:'+setting.customtheme[0]+';}\n'
			+mainmenuid+' ul li a:hover {background:'+setting.customtheme[1]+';}\n'
		+'</style>')
	}
	this.shadow.enable=(document.all && !window.XMLHttpRequest)? false : this.shadow.enable //in IE6, always disable shadow
	;(function($){ //ajax menu?
		if (typeof setting.contentsource=="object"){ //if external ajax menu
			ddsmoothmenu.getajaxmenu($, setting)
		}
		else{ //else if markup menu
			ddsmoothmenu.buildmenu($, setting)
		}
	})(jQuery);
}

} //end ddsmoothmenu variable

This might do what you want. If not, I would probably need a link to your page:

Please post a link to the page on your site that contains the problematic code so we can check it out.

Thanks for that code. I also asked for info at wibiya and they told me to alter a switch in my control panel with them that has helped a lot. Haven't used your code yet but if there is a recurrence of the problem I will try it then.
