Team, thank you all in advance for your input on this. The client is experiencing an issue that we have not been able to recreate

Site: www.pebblebeach.com

Issue: Client is experiencing an extended lag/delay in loading the ‘mega-menu’ on the homepage. The mega-menu sits on top a large Flash panel (roughly 1 Meg). Seems to only be an issue with MSIE 7 & 8 on specific hardware.

Notes:

  • Mega-menu timed delay set to 500 milliseconds
  • MooTools JS used for mega-menu
  • swfObject is used to pull in Flash panel
  • Flash panel is app 1 Meg
  • Flash player on client's computer is 10+

Laptop experiencing issue: 3 or 4 year old Dell, WinXP SP3, IE7, Norton IS (disabling Norton IS had no effect on mega menu functionality)

Notes from client:

  • Homepage fully loaded. Hovered over PACKAGES and it stuck, evidenced by the hover state of the “Share” link in the bottom right of screenshot. The mega menu disappeared after a few seconds in this case, but in other instances it was stuck for more than 15-20 seconds. The mega menu didn’t actually function properly until a few minutes after the page was loaded.

  • I'm in IE8 and the mega menu took about 45 seconds to load. When it finally did, the hover got stuck in one section even though I was trying to scroll over to hover over another. It also didn't fade when I moved my mouse off the menu.

  • Issue is only on the homepage. The menu works fine on every other content section.

  • I work in a Windows 7 environment. I have Kaspersky and Microsoft security essentials. Since the mega menu works in every other content section, I don’t think this has anything to do with the problem.

  • Even after I hard refresh, the problems continued on the home page.
