Curved menus

Looking for suggestions on how to curve a menu to follow the contour of an image. Sort of a semi-circle type contour. To see what I'm talking about look at the current mockup without the "curve": http://www.gwwm.com/Mockup/gwwm/

So long as you are using a fixed width and height you can position top and left for each item.

Your posted link brings up a 404.

However, if the image is curved, simply make your main menu buttons as graphics and then drop the subs from there.

The link should work fine, I clicked it after you posted. You can add index.asp to the end but you shouldn't need it.

I want to avoid images. The main reason is that page is graphics heavy to begin with if you browse to it and see. Is there a way to do this with text?

The "top" and "left" suggestion may work if each main menu item was an individual menu because those options seem only to effect the entire menu structure.

The link is working now.

Maz top/left suggestion will work, but you'll have to build 16 "main" menus. Guessing here, but there may be some positioning problems across browsers and with different screen resolutions.

I'm on a high speed connection here, but your page comes up instantly for me. Doesn't seem that 'heavy'.

I've played around with menu items all over the page and it worked really well. Find your center position, then offset +/- everything from center it should work. But don't rely on itemwidth in IE.
