Hi,

You have the option of placing the link <a href="http://www.milonic.com/" title="milonic menu">milonic menu</a> on your page and the menu link will go away.

screenposition="center";

will work make sure you have it written under where it starts with style=
above the menu items,

I think in a table this helps
menualign="center";

show us a url if you need help.

Thanks for that, i added the link and it is gone from the menu. can anyone help me on centering the menu in the screen.

I want it to be centered like the old V3 menu on my site at http://homepage.ntlworld.com/steve.peto/movies/dvd.html i have searched the forums and tried a couple of options that i saw in there, but the menu always stay to the left of the screen.

The only alternative ive found so far is to have it spread over 100% of the page, but thats not an ideal situation.

Thanks

Steve

I've run your JS file through the V3 to V5 converter and uploaded the results here:

Simply do a View Source on the page Andy did. You will note the _data file located at the same level as that page. With that in mind, build a URL that looks like this...

http://www.flhs.wigan.sch.uk/test2/menu_data.js

That will bring up the _data file for you, either in the browser window or in an editor, depending on how you have your machine set up.

Note that the convertor leaves a little editing still needed...

1. All aI lines should end as ;"); ...


2. Remove the ;; items...


Note that #2 is not done in the case of 'DVD Movies&nbsp;&nbsp;;'. Here, one ; is to close the &nbsp;, and the other is to close the text= item.
