HELP, ASAP- Lag time when clicking on link... how can I fix??

[Snapa02]

Hi there- I am new here and already need some help. I am designing a site in Dreamweaver (Klackle Apple Orchard and Pavilion - www.ekho3technology.com\Klackle\Index.htm if you click on the link that says Pavilion Sports in the black bar, you will get to the area that I am currently working on) What my trouble is, is this- Once you get to the Pavilion area, you will see a bunch of links in the green bar about 1/4 of the way down the page - the links are About Us, News & Events, Calendar, Hard Court Sports, etc. Each of these menu items has a drop down that I created in Dreamweaver to display additional links. They all work fine and get me to the page I want to go to, but when I click on one of the links, it seems to take forever to transition to the next page. I know it is not my connection as I am using high speed cable (I am wireless, but it is still not the cause I am sure). I am thinking that the code that Dreamweaver put together behind the scenes is maybe too large or there is some unnecessary code that Dreamweaver threw in there that could be taken out to speed things up. I am not sure, but I know that my client will not be happy with the load time on these pages and I need to find a way to speed up the time it takes between clicking on one of the links and getting the next page to load.

I am not a programmer, that is why I do most things in Dreamweaver, so if you might be able to help me, I'd appreciate it. I need to get this done ASAP, so I will be awaiting anyone's response. Thanks!!

Thats quite a large page. It seems to me that that huge javascript code is unneccessarily large.

It could also have something to do with your host's connection being slow. I actually had it time out on a traceroute and ping test.
