Milonic JavaScript Menu

As my subject indicates this post is about the menu and useability and being search engine friendly. I do hope those who are familiar with these topics weigh in on this.

Point (1) - The milonic menu uses javascript for building DHTML menus.

Point (2) - Search Engines don't like javascript anything ...

In the past when faced with placing a dhtml layer on a centered web page I've used the getElementById() method in javascript as a method to retrieve the DOM object reference to an image used as a "anchor". This image could be any image on the page, but a guideline would be to use an image that does ...

Sorry guys, still no luck. If you like I've put together a small screen capture movie (.avi) which shows you what I'm up against. In the first example you'll see my original code and in the second example you'll see Ruth's code and how it renders. As you'll see it's not like Ruth's and I still see ...

Ruth, your test site looks like the way I want it, no padding occuring to the right of the menu items. I'll download your test script to see how it behaves on mine.

let you know how it works out.

I've been playing with the menu and I can't seem to figure out why there is spacing to the right of menu items. Here is my code and a picture.

I want to add padding around the submenu arrow image. Right now my submenu arrow image looks very tight alongside the text.

On a related note, can I add text in place of the submenu arrow image similarly to this "-->" to indicate a sub-submenu will appear?

Thanks for any assistance.

I have not used this product before so I have no history with it's capability.

Can someone reassure me that this menu code will allow my menu to display "on top" of a listbox/selectbox.

If you're reading this post you know exactly what I'm referring too.

Are there any limitations or gotchas (like ...
