Is this with version 3 or are you using version 5 and iFrames? If version 3, you'd use the html code for the image in the place you would normally put the text i.e. <img src=whateverimagef border=0> You can put the image and then put text after it, if you want.

Please be aware there is no support for Version 3, it is very much out of date, and has not been in development for probably a couple of years. It is available for download for those that absolutely must use frames and do not wish to go with iframes, but it is not longer supported.

If you can do it, converting to version 5 and using either iFrames or a site design that lets you use the menu with the frames would be a better choice. The new menu does so much more now given the advances in web browsing and browsers. There is a non-supported frames code for version 5 which I understand works pretty well http://www.milonic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2753 THe information on it is about the 4th post down. You can also use version 5 with frames if you are not designing the menu to open in a different frame. For example, some people have a top frame in which they put a horizontal menu and then have the submenus open as horizontal also, leaving enough room for the menu to open in that frame. Hope this helps.
