IE 6 Error During Page Load If Hovering Over Menu

I'm getting errors that stop the page load if you're hovering over the menu while the page is loading in IE 6, but not in FireFox.

Version 5.767

Problem site (larger menu?):
http://208.112.83.147/demo2

It's only occurring when using buildAfterLoad=true;. If I remove that statement, it's fine.

Anyone see this?

Thanks.

I've just replied to this message in Tech Support.

It's due to the flashobject.js script that you are using. Something in there is causing the problem.

Pages without flashobject.js will produce the same crash, such as:

Can you please remove all other JavaScript from the page and then see if it still does it.

If it works, add each script back until it does it again, then we'll know where the culprit is. The menu has been tested intensively and this doesn't happen on any other the sites the menu is used on.

Looks like there might be a problem with buildAfterLoad.

You can get around this by removing the buildAfterLoad property but ensuring that you add a drawMenus(); command to the bottom of your menu_data.js file - This will commit the menus correctly thus not needing buildAfterLoad which SHOULD be waiting until the page has been completed until actually building the menus.

It was conflicting with two separate scripts and only worked after both were removed. But, instead, I'll put the scripts I need back in there and remove the buildAfterLoad=true statement and position the menu another way. That works too.
