How often to update

How often one needs to update to a new version. My current version is 5.754. How important is it to upgrade to the current one?
Thanks

Take a look at http://milonic.com/menuvinfo.php and note all of the bugs, fixes, and additions that have been added to the menu since your version. Current is v5.762, so you're 8 levels down. With the new browsers and all the fixes - you're behind the 8-ball. Besides, the most current version is required for help here in the forum.
Bottom line? Keep up-to-date.

BTW, what are the basic files I need to update my site as the download comes with an example?

Use ONLY the 3 menu code files to update to any new version...
milonic_src.js
mmenudom.js
mmenuns4.js
If you still have your menu file named menu_data.js and load the example on top of it - bye-bye all your hard work!
Just to be safe, I have renamed all my _data files just in case I happen to load the example by mistake. Nothing lost that way.

Thanks again. As we are not using menu_data.js and our menu are inside an asp page, no harm.
Is there a problem BTW to put some of the menu code (AIs) in a file and some inside the page in a <script>. Currently all the AI code is in the page. The upper drop down menus changes slowly, the left side menus change more often. So, I can put the upper drop down menus in a file so that when a visitor is browsing inside our website, will get the menu data file once and then the browser will use it again for each page as opposed to the current solution when it is resend inside every page. once there is a change in the upper menu a new file will be created.
Thanks

Wow. OK - since you asked (obviously this is what I'd do)...
1. Put all of your CSS in a file and call it.
2. Put all of the menu code in a file and call it.
3. Move the menu calls to the first item after the <body>.
If you want, you can have more than one menu code file (_data); e.g., one for the side and the other for the top.
