Floating a menu over an image?

I'm implementing the Milonic menus for a client on a second website. First was pretty cut and dry - single menu in a table cell. It works great.

This time I've got 3 menus I need to use. I understand how to do multiple menus on the page but I'm stuck on something else.

I'm placing a menu in a table cell. This cell already includes an image (image fills the entire cell). I want the menu to "float" over a portion of that image. Can I position the menu specifically (aligned bottom and valign center) within a table cell?

Use bgimage in a style tag to place the main image in the cell, then the usual steps to get the menu where you want it (see http://www.milonic.com/tablemenu.php if you need help on that).

Hi,

Also, did you know that Milonic has an image map sample? 3 actually.

Thanks Ruth. After posting last night I looked at things again and realized that I was going to have to divide into 2 cells (as you suggested in your last line). I won't bother providing a sample because you answered my question! I didn't think it was possible to do what I wanted to do but I wanted to make sure before I went about splitting the image.

I've successfully done that. I have one other problem. My client has some images on her site that have some image maps. So i need to do 2 things in the cell. I need to have a mapped area and include a usemap in the image in the table cell. I also need to float a Milonic menu over the image on the lower 1/2 of the cell. Is something like this even feasible?

Hi,

You aren't going to be able to float the menu over an image unless it's a background image. As to your question in total, unless you can provide a test page with what you want so we can actually see it, it's going to be pretty hard to give you a definitive answer. From what you said, and without a test to see, I can only suggest that you set up another table in the cell, with two rows, the top for the image map image and the bottom for the menu.
