I'm using menubgimage for the off-state on my main menu. When I mousover it shows the oncolor, as it should. When I mouseout the oncolor remains and the bgimage is not reloaded. The code for the main style follows. Also here is a link to the testing page so that you may see what I'm talking about: http://www.chem.tamu.edu/css_test
with(mainStyle=new mm_style()){
align="left";
onbgcolor="#EFEFF6";
oncolor="#000066";
//offbgcolor="#000066";
offcolor="#EFEFF6";
menubgimage="../images/right_back.gif"; //relative link is temporary as this is a test page
separatorcolor="#FFFFFF";
separatorsize="1";
padding=5;
fontsize="small";
fontstyle="normal";
fontfamily="Verdana, sans-serif";
pagecolor="#660000";
subimagepadding="2";
}
Wow, you have to upgrade. You are a gazillion levels down. You are at a release candidate, that was a beta, even before the final release was done. We are now at final release 5.719, so there are about 40 release candidate releases plus about 80 more after the final release came out. We have no way to check the version you have and see what's going on. Log-in get the newest version [save the one you have just in case there's some conflict, though I didn't find one when I tested with the new one] Once you have the new version, code your main.js file with offbgcolor="transparent"; that will allow the menubgimage to show when you mouseoff after activating an item.
