On our MOSS '07 website, we have a page containing only the Page Viewer web part that points to a site on another server. However, I noticed that on this page (and any others that have a web part for the web page), the drop-down menus and freezing effects are SUPER SLOW and completely outperform the processor on the visiting computer (IEXPLORER process.)
Through testing, I was able to determine that it doesn’t matter what URL the web part is pointing to ... just having an IFRAME on the page seems to trigger it (just by setting the viewer to load the Google homepage - which is probably the most a simple site that I know is still causing the problem). If I go and delete the web part, the menus will start functioning again.
I connected the debugger to the process and went through the Menu_HoverStatic functions and called the functions, and it seems to be hard for him to assign panel.scrollTop to zero in the PopOut_Show function.
Has anyone else noticed this? ... maybe found a solution? I can’t find where to edit the PopOut_Show function on our server (I think this is a resource in one of the .NET libraries), otherwise I would just comment on this line, since I don’t think it really matters anyway .. at least on our website.
I really like the ability to have web pages from another server hosted on our SharePoint site, but performance on wigs is AGONIZATION ... and, frankly, unacceptable. Depending on the resources of the user computer, the freezing effect may take 15 seconds to complete this time !!!!
Any suggestions would be really appreciated!
Thanks Dan
