Hello all,

Do any of you know of a way to make a javascript load first on a web site? On my site I have a JS menubar that always loads up last after my images, text, and tables. I would like to give the script priority.

Any one?

Just put it in the HEAD of your page.

I just checked and the script is called within my <HEAD> part of the file. Any one have any other ideas????

Ok, most likely the script is actually invoked when the page loads, using either:

BODY onload=....

or

window.onload=...

If this is the case, the way to make the script load first becomes tricky, as usually there's a reason why the coder specified that the script be loaded after the page fully loads. In some cases there is no way around this.
