Using template and menu

Hello,

http://www.newtechtips.com/cms/

I am not sure if I am using the template in the right away. The menu at this website doesn't has sub-menu except "Service". So the page of "Service" I use different template with sub-menu. Other pages don't have sub-menu, So i use another template without sub-menu. I found out that every time I click on the page of "Service", it takes a litter longer than clicking on other pages. Is there any better ways that I only need to use one template for this kind of lay out?

Thank you for your help.

Why not use the CSSMenu template, which would give you a dropdown submenu.

Thanks Nullig for your reply.

I am using CSS menu template, the page which has sub-menu i use {menu template='simple_navigation.tpl' start_level='2' collapse='1'}. The rest of page i use {menu template='simple_navigation.tpl' number_of_levels='1'}

I haven't try a dropdown submenu. My client wants to have the submenu showed inside a page. She doesn't want to click on the main menu to show the dropdown menu every time.

Thanks.
Jason

I don't see more than one menu on this or any other page, you would use the same menu type as in the default install page...

When I tested your site, the page with the submenu only loaded a little slower the first time it displayed.  Even after closing my browser, it loaded fine again.  I tested in IE, Firefox, and Safari.  It may be that your browser cache settings are affecting how fast it loads for you.
