I have a few questions.

1. Do the search engines see the text in the menu as it would in a static link?
2. Can we add alt or mouseover effects to the menu bar?

Thanks

Hi,

No, the text is in a js file which they won't read. You can either set up your menu as a listbased menu which means they will read the list on the page, or you can set up links for those who have js disabled and they will read that. You'd put the text links in noscript tags which will show when someone goes to your site with js disabled on their browser.

Even if you added alt, which I don't think is a property of the menu, the search engines still couldn't read it since the stuff is in a js file.

In your download is an extras folder and in that folder is a folder for the listmenu with a sample.
