Description
When using search engine www.bing.com and open search result which poits to the web page with simple menu, the web page doesn't show simplemenu. Some javascript used in bing.com may disable the simplemenu.

Huh? You're clicking through to a site from bing, and simplemenu doesn't show? Look at the site address when you do that, is it your normal address or is it being framed inside bing somehow?
Steps to reproduce?

Or, are you talking about the bing indexed content of your site?

I have not seen this bing behavior with my site, but I have noticed that if I have been at Google's Webmaster tools page, then click on one of the links to my site using simplemenu, then menu is not there. even if i switch pages. it freaked me out at first, until i figured out that it was just from the one google page that site visitors would not be coming from but, none the less, it is distrubing.
I was assuming as well that some javascript coming from google was the issue, but i was not sure how to debug it. if someone could let me know what to look for i'd be happy to look into it and report back...

I have also noticed that if I turn on the Theme Developer module, simple menu disappears.

Looks like the original issue isn't going to get anywhere. Feel free to post new issues, maddentim, to get your new questions answered.

I have this issue sometimes if users come from igoogle.

XerraX: can you be more specific? Steps to reproduce?

You need to create your own iGoogle page (add some widget stuff) and open it in one tab, in an other tab you open the page with simple menu.
the problem is that i dont know what exactly causes this bug, i also have seen this behavior with netvibes and it is not always, just sometimes.
sry for my bad english

Sorry for not replying everybody, since I havn't visited here.
My issue was resolved. I checked bing.com 's source code and found they used javascript to open a new window. Hence, I moved on to simplemenu's javascript file: simplemenu.js , and noticed code below,
// If detect pop-ups setting is enabled and we are in a pop-up window
if (Drupal.settings.simplemenu.detectPopup && window.opener) {
return;
}
I commented all of them, the issue was resolved then. Hope what I have done will be helpful to your guys' problems
Thanks a lot for your replies.

i just found out that this "fix" breaks imce image browser, even if i set imce* to not show simple menu
you have to set node/add* and node/edit* to get imce working again...
