Q: I have started using your menu and when testing in both IE-browsers the CPU jumps to 100% for at least 30 to 60sec.
Then the sub menu appears but also not as fast as in Firefox(no effects).
Now does my menu contains about 1476 item-lines, and I use the cross-frame modus.
Any ideas?
A: It is possible that the loading speed can be lower if the menu is very large. But it doesn't take so much time.

Deluxe Menu works fast, but 1500 is a large value.
I tried to create large menus on my machine: P4 3GHz, 512RAM WinXP SP2

- 2000 items ~ 40 sec

You can expand any items when you load your page.
You should add "+" symbol before the item text. For example:
["+DHTML Menus","", "images/xpicon1.gif", , , "DHTML Menus", , "0", , , , ],
["|DHTML Menu","http://dhtml-menu.com", "images/icon1.gif", "images/icon1o.gif", "images/icon1o.gif", "Information", "_self", , , , , ],
["|+DHTML Tree Menu","", "images/icon1.gif", "images/icon1o.gif", "images/icon1o.gif", "Support", "_self", "2", , , , ],
["||2 styles: standard & XP","", , , , , , "3", , , , ],

Q: I'm not getting information when the move the mouse over the dhtml dynamic menu etc., however if use it on a local machine it shows the necessary information in the status bar of my ie7 . . . any ideas ?
A: You should set the following browser setting:
"Tools/Internet Options/Security/"
click "Custom level..." button and enable "Allow status bar updates viascript" in "Scripting" column (almost at the end of the list).
This is IE7 feature. In the other browsers you won't have suchproblem.
