for anyone who is interested, i merged the 4 files required for thematic's superfish menus into 1 file- with the goal of reducing the number of external page requests when trying to speed up your site
to use it you'd get rid of how thematic currently adds their scripts
// Filter away the default scripts loaded with Thematic
function childtheme_head_scripts() {
// Abscence makes the heart grow fonder
}
add_filter('thematic_head_scripts','childtheme_head_scripts');
i'm not sure WHY thematic isn't enqueing these. gene, if you're around, what is up w/ that?
and replace it with
function enqueue_dropdowns(){
wp_enqueue_script('superfish',JS . 'thematic-combined.js',array('jquery');
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts','enqueue_dropdowns');
where JS is the constant I have defined for where I store my scripts
define('CHILDTHEME', get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory') . '/');
define('JS', CHILDTHEME . 'js/');
