It's being called as an external .js file in the document's head; however, I have also tried doing it inline in the head section without change in speed for IE.

You could delay the page being shown I guess.

Why is this causing a problem for you?

From my own experience with JavaScript, I've noticed that some DOM related stuff (like, getting the height of an element) won't work with IE on the fly, but will work once the page is loaded. Firefox doesn't seem to have that problem, but for cross browser compatibility's sake I just call the scripts after the whole thing is loaded, and that is it.

I'm using fx.slide which start toggled off at the beginning, so you may expand them after the document loads. So for internet explorer... they all appear open for a second, but visible enough to be annoying especially when navigating to other pages (it's used for the navigation).

Add the links using javascript. That way they'll have the same delay.

Ya I was thinking about that too; however, that will basically destroy any SEO for the site as search engines don't include javascript written content - and since it's navigation, spider crawling will be almost non-existent.

you can solve that by creating a site map.

Yep, that's what I had to do eventually. I was wondering though, does anybody know if using CSS statements like "display:none" will actually hurt SEO though? Are search engines smart enough to ignore things that are "display:none". I remember hearing somewhere (years ago) that people were exploiting search engines by having paragraph-length keywords and stuff like that set to "display:none" to get them hits - so does Google now ignore everything that is display:none?

Thanks everybody.

Well, there are rumours Google also indexes CSS to prevent getting yourself an higher ranking trough hidden text. However, I don't know if that's true. And even if it's true, I think there should be a difference between legitimate use like yours and using it to hide text with a lot of keywords.
