Any help would be greatly appreciated! the html and css files: http://www.ci.concord.ca.us/index.htm <-- 11k http://www.ci.concord.ca.us/Templates/general.css <-- ~1k and for the javascript: http://www.ci.concord.ca.us/Templates/load_menus.js <-- 25k http://www.ci.concord.ca.us/Templates/fw_menu.js <-- 34k and the images: 43k http://www.ci.concord.ca.us/graphics/imagesforpage/homepage_r2_c1.gif 7k http://www.ci.concord.ca.us/graphics/familyfirstlogo.gif 5k http://www.ci.concord.ca.us/graphics/imagesforpage/homepage_r5_c1.gif 4k http://www.ci.concord.ca.us/graphics/imagesforpage/parkinggarage.jpg 2k http://www.ci.concord.ca.us/graphics/citylogo.gif 1k http://www.ci.concord.ca.us/graphics/imagesforpage/submenuslice.gif 1k http://www.ci.concord.ca.us/graphics/imagesforpage/topslice.gif ~1k http://www.ci.concord.ca.us/graphics/imagesforpage/topspaceslice.gif ~1k http://www.ci.concord.ca.us/graphics/lighton-tiny.gif ~1k http://www.ci.concord.ca.us/graphics/sunicon20px.gif ~1k http://www.ci.concord.ca.us/graphics/imagesforpage/spacer.gif I *think* I got them all. So for the html+css we have 11k. for the javascript we have 59k. and for the images a rough total of 64k. Combined total roughly 134k. Add to that the execution time of all the javascript, not to mention this 134k of stuff all has to download before the menus will be active, and you get slow. - Joe <http://artlung.com/> -- ...................
