Stop menus continually loading?

ElphieFabalaFae

I am having issues with my dynamic/roll-over menu. Basically the main menu sections of the site appear in one cell and are permanent. They are all linked to individual sub-menus that appear in the cell below when rolled-over with a mouse.

Each time a new page is visited, the sub-menus ALL continue to reload themselves, before they disappear leaving behind the one sub-menu that the code dictates remains visible. Is there anyway I can get the sub-menus to stop continually reloading themselves every time a new page is visited? Is there some way of caching the menu/sub-menus?

Currently, I have only included the scripting for the menu and sub-menu sections, but if anyone needs anymore, I will happily provide.

          <td colspan="2" class="linkbar" background="images/celltop4.jpg" height="30"><body onload="Show('d1', 1);"> 
            <div id="topmenu"> <a href="#d1" onMouseOver="Show('d1');">GOOD NEWS</a> 
              | <a href="#d2" onMouseOver="Show('d2');">DEAR OLD SHIZ</a> | <a href="#d3" onMouseOver="Show('d3');">OZ 
              DUST BALLROOM</a> | <a href="#d4" onMouseOver="Show('d4');">WIZOMANIA</a> 
              | <a href="#d5" onMouseOver="Show('d5');">EMERALD CITY</a> </div>
          </td>
        </tr>
        <tr valign="middle" align="center" height="20"> 
          <td colspan="2" height="20" background="board/templates/elphiegreen/images/cellpic1.gif"> 
            <div class="section" id="d1" > <?php include'menus/gnmenu.php'; ?> </div>
            <div class="section" id="d2" > <?php include'menus/dosmenu.php'; ?> </div>
            <div class="section" id="d3" > <?php include'menus/odbmenu.php'; ?> </div>
            <div class="section" id="d4" > <?php include'menus/wommenu.php'; ?> </div>
            <div class="section" id="d5" > <?php include'menus/ecmenu.php'; ?> </div>
          </td>

It's not really clear from your post what the problem is. Also, it would be quite helpful to see the problem in context. Perhaps you can post it?

I'd guess the problem lies with these rows, but like sneakyimp said, it's hard to tell when you don't see the rest of the relevant code.

<div class="section" id="d1" > <?php include'menus/gnmenu.php'; ?> </div>
<div class="section" id="d2" > <?php include'menus/dosmenu.php'; ?>

Set them all to style="visibility: hidden" and they will stop "flashing" as they load.
