Above is a link to my first joomla site. You'll see that the top nav,
when you refresh or go to a new page (the homepage isn't set yet!), is
shoved to the left side while the page loads and then jumps to
position. I'm using an extension called Superfish Dropdown Menu for
joomla for the top nav area. I'm pretty sure it has
something to do with the custom width setting because when I disable
it the nav looks like it does when it is squished.

To troubleshoot the problem I removed the rotating background image that is just below the nav and the nav loaded perfectly. To get the background image to rotate behind the Article title I created a module position called headerbreadcrumbs and added a module called Amplify Title Mod. This module takes the article title and puts it in a module that can be placed anywhere in your template. In the stylesheet I call a rotate.php file in the background area and it rotates through a bunch of images:

#headerbreadcrumbs {
background-image:url(../images/rotate.php);
color:#FFFFFF;
float:left;
font-family:Times New Roman,georgia,serif;
font-size:53px;
height:45px;
margin:5px 0 0;
padding:120px 0 20px 10px;
width:831px;
}

I wanted a way to have a different page title banner on each page without the client having to create a banner every time an article is created.

I'm assuming this is not the best way to do this because of the result I'm getting but I couldn't find any other way to do it after much searching.

My question(s):

1. Is there a way to get the rotating background image to load faster so the nav loads better? or is the rotate.php in the css with the Amplify module not the way to go?

Any help would be great!

Catherine
