ddsmoothmenu list items are rendered down the page for 1-2s before css applied

[stodge]

1) Script Title: Smooth Navigational Menu (v1.5)

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...smoothmenu.htm

3) Describe problem:

I have ddsmoothmenu working to produce a horizontal menu but when I refresh the page, the menu list is rendered vertically for a second or two and the the css is applied and the menu is displayed correctly. I've checked my load times for CSS/JS etc. and everything is being served successfully and on time. I also see the same issue on the Dynamic Drive with the vertical green menu. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Are the menu's two CSS references at the very top of your page:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ddsmoothmenu.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ddsmoothmenu-v.css" />

Also, how fast is your internet connection?

I'll have to double check when I get to work on Monday but this was on localhost, so the network speed is irrelevant. Thanks
