Hi All !!

I am trying to create a skin to a site that have a menu composed by images (no text, only one image per item that changes with mouse over). But each one of the top menus can have submenus. Those submenus are just text as the standard solpartmenu.

Can i make the solpartmenu use images for top menus or should i make something else ? I have seen a similar post but in this case i also need the text menus for the subitens (i can not use only graphics)

Can someone help please ?

I've sort of done a hack to get the effect your looking for.

Look at the "Health Info" graphic on the menu of the link above. That is the "icon" for the page called Health info, the actual pagename is entered as </> which you'll see if you mouseover, but effectively it makes solpart render the page, but it doesn't put any text in the menu for that top level item. It took a bit of CSS work, but if you play around with it you might be able to get the same result.

Hi Chriso !

That is the effect i am looking for !! I have tryed and it work great ! But how can i switch the picture when the users mouse gets over it ?

The only drawback that i see is the tipbox showing the "</>" when you leave the mouse on top of the picture. There no option to deactivate that tipbox ?

Thanks  alot for your help !

To get the mouse over effect we have the health info image as a transparent gif, and then the background color is what is actually changing. The HealthInfo graphic unfortunately must remain the same.

I haven't seen a way to disable the tooltip, but I honestly haven't looked either

I have named the page &nbsp; instead so the tip box appears empty.

Can you please send me a sample on how you are changing the backgroud ? I understand the transparent part in the image, but i can't see how you are changing the background ...

thanks again !!
