Another "Menu doesn't display in IE unless I refresh&qu
Poster: glennmsmith

Looking at previous messages on the forum, it looks like others might be experiencing similar problems to me.
When I load my web page up in IE it gives me an error and the (two) menus do not display. When I press Ctrl-Refresh, the page reloads, menus display, no errors.
I am running Windows 2000 (latest patches), IE. 6.0.2800.1106, and am using the latest (purchased a license Saturday) v5 of Milonic. And I'm running it under Tomcat 5.5.9 though that's probably irrelevant.
Excellent product by the way (except for this little problem-ette I'm having!).
The problem only happens when the IE cache is emptied first before loading the page. Subsequent loads (ie. after the refresh) are fine.
Turning Javascript debugging on, IE. reports the problem as being at: "Line: 21, Char: 27769, Error: Permission Denied, Code: 0, URL: test.html".
Hope you can help. As the Website is still under-development at the moment, I don't have a URL to post for you to test this, but I've supplied stripped-down files below which do give me the problem described.
My test HTML file is this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
<html>
<head>
<title>Under Development</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- include menus -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="milonic_src.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
if(ns4) _d.write("<scr"+"ipt type=text/javascript src=mmenuns4.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
else _d.write("<scr"+"ipt type=text/javascript src=mmenudom.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="reports_menu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="performance_indicators_menu.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Additional info, I turned on the script debugging option in IE and found that it is falling over in milonic_src.js, and the following is highlighted:
_Lhr=_L.href
Hope that is of some help - I could really really do with a fix for this purleeeese?

Put your code up on my server (NO changes at all except for calling the menu code from my site). I'm not seeing any errors indicated. Both menus load the first time.
