I need to setup a site with graphic menu buttons. Or at least a graphical shape behind the menu choices.

I can do it in an text/html module but I would love to find a way to use one of the various menu modules that are out there. SolPart, House, etc.

Does anyone know of a way to make any of these menus use a graphical button? Any tutorials or docs that you can point me towards?

Thanks

John

I use house menu with "ShowPageIcons="true" and add an icon to the pages that will apear in the menu.
And with the follwing style:

a img{
    opacity:0.5;
    filter:alpha(opacity=50);

a:hover img{
    opacity:1;
    filter:alpha(opacity=100);

I create a "Mouseover" (opacity for real browsers and filter for IE)

Timo this sounds like a great idea, how does this work with dropdown menus? 

I like this approach.. I've read it before a while ago, but never really got involved much since I wasn't in the space at the time, but thanks for sharing this..

I'll give it a try tonight.

Nina,
I used this for a horizontal Menu with only one level, the rest of the menu is in another menu control, but if I use it with Solpart Menu it seems to work fine.

It can be a problem to get the text below instead of next to the images which is solved with

"selector" img {
    display: block;
    }

and some margin-top for the text ofcourse....

These are some great ideas.  Thanks

In your last post you talk about doing it in SolPart. I've tried it but am very new at configuring SolPart Menu and have not figured out how to get the page icons to show up.

Also, using the House menu in this manner I'm getting my images to show and work properly but they are all preceeded by the bullet from the list that is being rendered by House Menu. Any quick tips on how to remove that? I am assuming that you need to make those changes in the CSS,

Thanks again for the great tips.

John
