Menu bar image?

How do I put an image into my full width menu bar instead of just a colour?

I've tried adding the URL to a couple of places without much luck. I think something else needs changing to make it work.

Does anyone know or am I asking a silly question?

Sorry, not what I meant. That just puts an image into the button.

What I want is a repeating image in the Overall Width Bar of the Horizontal Menu.
Like here where the menu bar is full width, but all blue.
I want to replace the blue with an image.

HI,

Have a look at :

http://www.milonic.com/menu/menusample.php?sampleid=7

You have to define the "//Mouse Off Background Color" and the "// Mouse On Background Color" as transparent.

I.e.
BigTransparent=[ // BigTransparent is an array of properties. You can have as many property arrays as you need
"FFFFFF", // Mouse Off Font Color
"", // Mouse Off Background Color (use zero for transparent in Netscape 6)
"FF0033", // Mouse On Font Color
"", // Mouse On Background Color
"", // Menu Border Color
"14", // Font Size (default is px but you can specify mm, pt or a percentage)
"normal", // Font Style (italic or normal)
"bold", // Font Weight (bold or normal)
"Helvetica", // Font Name
5, // Menu Item Padding or spacing
, // Sub Menu Image (Leave this blank if not needed)
0, // 3D Border & Separator bar
, // 3D High Color
, // 3D Low Color
, // Current Page Item Font Color (leave this blank to disable)
, // Current Page Item Background Color (leave this blank to disable)
, // Top Bar image (Leave this blank to disable)
, // Menu Header Font Color (Leave blank if headers are not needed)
, // Menu Header Background Color (Leave blank if headers are not needed)
"000000", // Menu Item Separator Color
]

and ... in the addmenu[] section in item 18 you can define the background url image ..

i.e.

addmenu(menu=[
"dynbackmenu", // Menu Name - This is needed in order for this menu to be called
160, // Menu Top - The Top position of this menu in pixels
14, // Menu Left - The Left position of this menu in pixels
150, // Menu Width - Menus width in pixels
2, // Menu Border Width
, // Screen Position - here you can use "center;left;right;middle;top;bottom" or a combination of "center:middle"
BigTransparent, // Properties Array - this array is declared higher up as you can see above
1, // Always Visible - allows this menu item to be visible at all time (1=on or 0=off)
, // Alignment - sets this menu elements text alignment, values valid here are: left, right or center
"Fade(duration=0.2);Shadow(color=777777, Direction=135, Strength=5)",// Filter - Text variable for setting transitional effects on menu activation - see above for more info
0, // Follow Scrolling Top Position - Tells this menu to follow the user down the screen on scroll placing the menu at the value specified.
0, // Horizontal Menu - Tells this menu to display horizontaly instead of top to bottom style (1=on or 0=off)
0, // Keep Alive - Keeps the menu visible until the user moves over another menu or clicks elsewhere on the page (1=on or 0=off)
, // Position of TOP sub image left:center:right
, // Set the Overall Width of Horizontal Menu to specified width or 100% and height to a specified amount
0, // Right To Left - Used in Hebrew for example. (1=on or 0=off)
0, // Open the Menus OnClick - leave blank for OnMouseover (1=on or 0=off)
, // ID of the div you want to hide on MouseOver (useful for hiding form elements)
"/menuimages/raindrops_light.gif",// Background image for menu Color must be set to transparent for this to work
0, // Scrollable Menu
, // Miscellaneous Menu Properties
,"Just a Link","test.php",,,0
,"Sub Menu Holder","show-menu=submenu1","test.php",,0
,"Sub With Lines","show-menu=SubsWithSeparators","#",,0
,"MouseOvers","show-menu=MouseOvers","#",,0
])

Much easier way

There is a much easier way than this.

Just create a table with a row that has a background image that you want to use.

Then just overlay the menu on top - either absolutely positioned or relatively using placemenu
