Is there a size limit for the menu files?

Hello,

I would like to know if there is a size limit for the menu_data.js file.
As I would like to link as much as possible of my content in the menu and at a certain moment my menu dissapears. :( That is - my file size is over 21KB and if I add more lines to it I cannot see it any more.
I have searched and found out that there is a limit of between 20-30KB, depending on the structure of the menu. What should I do in order to have a bigger one functioning? Is it possible? Should I divide it in two menus? Please help.

Please provide a URL to the failing menu so we can take a look.

Maybe it's because it's still early over here, but I don't find anywhere in that code where you are calling the menu system. I need to see the failure.

The menu is functioning right now because I cannot afford to let the site without the menu (It is not so early in Romania :D ) but I have tried last night to add the rest and once I add lines and new menu items, the menu does not appear any more. As it is right now it works. But I have more pages to add....

The menu is functioning now on http://bucuresti.romaniaexplorer.com. I do not have it on the home page. Sorry again.

The first thing you need to do is upgrade your menu code files. You are running v5.777, current is v5.787, so you are 10 versions down-level. Once that is done try adding some additional menus and let us know how it goes. If it still fails please post a test page with the failure somewhere so we can see it.

I've seen menu files bigger than yours - we'll get it figured out.
