[Pro] Images in CSS Menus

OK, I’m stumped. How did they get those little images in the submenu for “Art” at http://www.crockerartmuseum.org/ ? Each one is different, so they can’t be a background image.

I tried just pasting a little JPEG into the List Text in my test menu at http://luckypro.biz/client/mcg/other/statement.html , but making the text a link breaks it, as you can see.

Any advice greatly appreciated!

Perhaps I need to use a Show/hide Layer system? I’d really like to be able to use a CSS menu for SEO purposes, but maybe that’s just not possible in Freeway?

Hi Bucky,
You can do this with the existing CSS Menus Action (which can do a lot
more than most people first think) by inserting your graphic items as
inline elements into the list items.
I’ve updated my CSS Menus example Freeway 5 Pro file with an eBay
style menu that has images in the first sub-menu as an example;

You can download the Freeway file from the link above.
Working with them images in the menu in Freeway can get a little
fiddly but the end result should be close to what you want.
Regards,
Tim.

OMG! OMG! OMG! Yes, I think I’ve got it.

The “graphics” aren’t Graphic Items. They are Inline HTML Items containing graphics. Somehow that makes the CSS happy in ways I don’t understand in the least. But it seems to work. I’ll post again when a sample is up.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. You’re brilliant!

A prototype copy of the site is up at http://luckypro.biz/client/mcg/other/statement.html (and related pages). This URL will go bad in a month or so when the real site is posted.

I also got a very nice email from Tech Support discussing possibilities. So all seems well now. Thanks to all!
