I have a page with a slideDown menu. It also contains a number of Java applets. This causes a problem on Firefox 2.0.0.6. If a Java applet is running and I click the link to slide down the menu the applet reloads. It doesn't do it on slideUp, and neither slideDown nor slideUp provokes any applet reloading on IE6, IE7, or Opera. There's no reloading on any browser I've tested if I use fadeIn instead of slideDown. So my temporary fix is to browser-detect and fadeIn for Mozilla and slideDown for everything else.
I'd love to know what is caused the applet reload on Firefox, though. Can anyone shed any light?
