hi!

i have another two problems:

1) when using background images - the 'over' image starts downloading only the time i move the mouse over the menu - that is a problem with slow connections... as it displays no image on the mouse over - which looks strange...

is it possible to pre-load background & over images?

2) using the 'image=...' property displays the menuitem the size the image is - but the clickable area is only a small line on top of the menu item (i have set the 'itemheight=22' in the style - but also tried to set 'itemheight=50' at the menu item - but neither helps...)

can anyone help me?
thanks to all of you!!!!

nice greetings

El Paso,

In response to #2, see http://www.milonic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4024

In response to #1. Have you tried?


This would be placed on your homepage and would cause the images to be loaded into the browser's cache.

hi dave!

thanx for your response!

the post for #2 does not really solve my problem - it's the clickable area that makes troubles...
if i use 'text=<img src=...>;' it works - i was just wondering why i have a 'image=...' property when it dows not render a clickable area that's the size of the image...?

#1: thanx for that - of course that will work - but that would mean to include that into every single page... i was wondering if there is a possibility within the menu - a function that allows preloading images, so that i can use that instead of including that in the 'body' tag (...its just that 'allwebmenues' is able to do that - and i thought milonic of course will have such feature as well - of which i don't know about yet

thanx again!
