Hi folks, thanks in advance for any help.
I am trying to get a background image on my menu and have tried the following in the properties section of menu_data.js without success:
with(menuStyle=new mm_style()){
//onbgcolor="#8B5736";
//oncolor="#FFFFFF";
//offbgcolor="#FAF8D7";
bgimage="background_image.gif";
....

Can someone suggest how to do this?
Cheers,

Jaco

Are you sure the image file is in the same directory? Post a link of your page will be very helpful to diagnose your issue.

Yes it could be in a folder "/images/bgimage.gif"

I see there is another called menubgimage=
If neither work it would appear its the image path is incorrect.

No the path is correct. Does the image have to be a certain size, what happens if it is too big for the menu?

As Maz noted, bgimage= used in the global style section will insert a bgimage into each menu item. If you want one for the whole menu then the property is menubgimage=. Without seeing a test page we can't really see what the problem might be. If you cannot post a test page, we would need to have your menu_data.js file code, at least the main menu and one submenu. And the html code for the page, plus the version number. If you post here please use the code button above to bracket the code.
