IE Slow Menu Problem, Fast in Firefox

[Developer2007]

Hi there,

I have searched the internet for the last two hours and haven't found a solution anywhere, so I'm here to track down all the guru's once again.

I am using a asp:menu on a intranet and found that the menu is very sluggish when using internet explorer, it would take about 2-5 seconds when hovering over the menu item before it would show the child menus. The menu is loaded with about 900 items (yes I know it's quite large).

I have tested it on many different computers with the same result. However when using a computer with Firefox the menu performs excellent with no problems at all, even on the same computer where IE was performing very slow. When searching the internet I found that many others are also experiencing this problem but with no solution.

My question is, has anyone found a solution for this? If you have please help!!!

PS: Changing to firefox isn't an option, as this will mean convincing everyone to change over. (Not possible)


Thanks in advance
