Help with Using Frames and images in the menu... Please Help

We have a frame set with a top menu and we woudl like to use images instead of text menu.

somethng like the attachment image.

Image

i am not crazy about rollovers but i think it would be a nice idea.

Please help me out... I have reviewed the JS files and understand them a little bit i just wanted to know how to use images instead of text.

Questions:

1. How to use images and graphics instead of text?

2. is it possible to have the top frame centered at all time? ( i tried different resolutions and they move around)

3. How many levels can i go down? ( in terms of sub menus )

Thank you very much

Using your picture and the frames menu you would do this:

Code: Select all

,"<img src=toplft_corner.jpg border=0>","/menu/ target=_top;sourceframe=main",,,1 
,"<img src=top_but1.jpg border=0>","show-menu=languages target=main;sourceframe=main",,"#",1
,"<img src=top_but2.jpg border=0>","show-menu=databases target=main;sourceframe=main",,"#",1
,"<img src=top_but3.jpg border=0>","show-menu=oses target=main;sourceframe=main",,"#",1
,"<img src=top_but4.jpg border=0>","show-menu=web  target=main;sourceframe=main",,"#",1
,"<img src=top_but5.jpg border=0>","show-menu=web  target=main;sourceframe=main",,"#",1
,"<img src=top_but6.jpg border=0>","show-menu=web  target=main;sourceframe=main",,"#",1
,"<img src=toprght_corner.jpg border=0>","/menu/ target=_top;sourceframe=main",,,1 
I just named your buttons according to the image, the first and last being the grey ends.

Kind of a toss-up. You can use v3, but it's not supported.

The smart thing would be to move to v5, but it doesn't fully support frames. There is an 'unofficial' workaround for that - search the Forum for the relevant Topics.
