Adding Images to Navigation Bar Drop-Downs
Is there a way to add images to navigation bar drop-down link items? If so, can they be used in conjunction with text?
Re: Adding Images to Navigation Bar Drop-Downs
As I've not seen any examples yet, I would think it unlikely if you are talking about images down to the sub-menu level.
You can roll your own using pop-up layers.
I have used CSS mega menus for this purpose.

Yes, but it requires a bit of work. You create layers and add your photo buttons to the layers.
Go here for an example http://www.gwpriester.com/menu-test/ This is a bit extreme and probably more than you want to do but the process is the same.
And download the attached file to see how I have set these up.

Re: Adding Images to Navigation Bar Drop-Downs
xara's own menu maker is really a disappointment in this regard
it is simplistic in the extreme
windows h8 lovers might like it
but for the rest of us we look elsewhere
or like me diy
Re: Adding Images to Navigation Bar Drop-Downs
I checked out CSS Mega Menus and it's a nice little tool. Unfortunately, it's quite limited in its free version form and I can't really justify the expense of the full version.
I wonder if Xara might consider adding greater menu capabilities in a future release.
BTW, thanks to you all for your input. Gary - I'll check out the .web file you posted. Thanks for your help.

Acorn, it's a nice tool.
Sorry I just found your reply months ago (in another post about the subsite), sorry for the delay. I will open a new post to discuss that later.

that would be well overdue and a welcome addition
