I did a program for a request in this thread. http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?1,95706 The macro creates a new menu item on the main menu bar. When the user clicks on the dropdown item the system obtains the external IP address and uses rebuildmenu to make the dropdown item display that address. All this works exactly as intended.

The unintended action is that some links which open in a new window will have two copies of the new menu item on the main menu bar. The code does not run again. I put alerts in the sections to inform me if they do run.

Daily Rotation http://www.dailyrotation.com/index.php is a site where this happens.

If anyone has a idea why this is happening, I would like to hear from you.

There are two files to be put in your usermacro folder.

Found the problem. Too much of the menu was in macro with the rebuildmenu statement. Revised kmm file below.
