I dont understand what you mean?? I assume this is an xml name and value. tried but still no success! For some reason it looks like the backdground pic doesnt sit well within the tab? furthermore it seems to have a left and right border on mouse over?? and lastly it seems to do something funny when i navigate to a sub page of the top level menu tabs. Sadly i purchased this skin and cant afford to pay for a redisign, when i know in my heart this is not an impossible task to overcome. Please send me a link to skinners examples so i can get to debbugging this, and thanks for the speedy response!

I think most of the skins using tabed style menus are charable. But they are mostly based on original John Hennings Menu free example which uses rightseparatorbreadcrumb and leftseparatorbreadcrumb. You can pick it up from his site at solpart.com There are other implementations and some extremly elegently done but they are all commercial implementations. Here is the John Henning example that is also used in a lot of commercial skins out there.
