I was just playing with it and it actually took me a minute to even figure out what you were talking about. It seemed to behave perfectly for me. Then I realized if I really looked for it, it did not render each submenu as I passed over it.
<br><br>Now, to me this make sense...why waste time rendering something the user doesn't want. Because at least on my system it has be really fast to even notice the effect. Or maybe I just don't have big enough menus to have the effect be annoying.
<br><br>It seems to me like you actually want to put some delay on it, albiet very small, especially when you get into pipe menus because on a slow system (mine is only 1Ghz with 256 MB ram) those extra instructions might cause it drag.
<br><br>Just my opinion. Of course I'm the same guy who thinks you ought to be able to click and drag maximized windows around...so what do I know?<br><br>Troy<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 2/17/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">
