any chance I can use images instead of text on the hbar so I dont have to worry about text resizing ... ?? I am redoing multiple sites and wish to have it smoothed out.. its basically the last bug on the older script.. but I want it all working A1 before I try suing the newest script.. ...

I can send a zip file Angus if you want to see first page layout and setup.....new style.
or goto arcnexus.net to see older script in action ... and tell me how I can change text to images ... for the basic menu categories...

by the way.. on a related note this forum allows me to log in but when I go to post it keeps saying not logged in .. etc..

checked profile and even canada {cnada] is spelled wrong like it always was so I know i am still in DB...

anyway... I was happy to purchase the script originally and I know its been a few years but its time for me to rewrite all websites and the image on top level menu categories is a neccesity to stop the text size increase bug..which sends the text off the menu if increased too much...

like I said.. let me know if you want a zip ...

also created a full pure CSS menu but of course it has same problem.. increasing text size blows it.

thanks for reading and hope to hear back form ya...

You are more than welcome to use images in the menu. Two main ways of doing it:

1) Put <IMG> tags within the <a> elements in the menu, replacing the text. This should be very easy.

2) Apply CSS "background-image" rules to the menu items in question.

addItem('  Network Sites', 'mFile', 'sm:', hBar, 125);
addItem('  Forums', 'mEdit', 'sm:', hBar, 70);
addItem('  Tools', 'mHelp', 'sm:');
addItem('  NeXuSsearch', 'window.open("http://php.arcnexus.net/search.php")', 'js:', hBar, 120);
addItem('  Network LOGIN', 'window.open("http://login.arcnexus.net/index.php")', 'js:', hBar, 120);

Ah -- you are posting in the FreeStyle Menu forum, that is the Cascading Popup Menu script! Nevertheless, here's the deal:

addItem('<img src="foo.jpg" width="20" height="12" alt="Foo" />', 'mFile', 'sm:', hBar, 125);

Insert your IMG tag in place of the item text. You can use any HTML within reason.
