.js file not loading on initial page hit

[Waraq]

I am using a .js file to initialize variables, links and status bar text for a page. When the page is initially hit, the .js file appears not to be loading as the status bar is reading "undefined" and the links are dead. When I do a reload on the page, the variables, links, etc. get set correctly as the "undefined" is no longer there and they work. Any idead why this is happening? Also I am using Netscape 4.x +

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

could you please send some code ? there's not enough information in your question for me to help you efficiently

The code goes something like this:

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot; src=&quot;../act_hotlinenav.js&quot;></script>
<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot; src=&quot;../act_menulist.js&quot;></script>
<script language=&quot;javaScript&quot; src=&quot;../act_list.js&quot;></script>
<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot; src=&quot;../act_dynlayer.js&quot;></script>
<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot; src=&quot;../act_hotlinenavedit.js&quot;></script>
<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
document.write(mymenu.div)
</script>
</head>

act_hotlinenav.js --> contains the variables with the values to be used when menu is built
act_menulist.js --> contains the code to build a menu object
act_list.js --> contains the code to build a list object
act_dynlayer.js --> contains the code to build a layer object
act_hotlinenavedit.js --> contains the code to build the navigation using all of the above .js files

The mymenu.div is returning &quot;undefined&quot;

If I add the following line above all of the .js file calls, it works fine:
<script language=&quot;Javascript&quot;>
var junk = &quot;this is to kick off the other scripts&quot;
</script>

Thanks in advance for your help.
