Primary: [Advanced Layout]

This is the menu code i am trying to implement with my advance layout but the title word either are on top of the background to the left of the background or to the right of it, Not directly on my background that i want.Currently they are not there at all so i have no clue? What am i missing and where does it need to go in the chain to place them directly on top of it? thanks
to anyone that can help and or if Chops can help that be wonderful!!! What I really need is a good code source that i could copy to my menu file where all i have to do is place the link to my background i want to use? So if anyone could share there code I would be very thankful!!!

<table border=0 class="Menu" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" width="167">
</tr>
<td class="Menucat" align="center"> <!-- Menu:Title --></td>
<tr>
<td background=<!--Menu:StaticName--> <img src="http://reborn.dkpsystem.com/settings/reborn/files/button.jpg"> </td>
<tr>
<!-- Menu:StartItemList -->
<tr>
<td class="MenuChoice" align="left">
<!-- Menu:StartItem -->
<li><a href="<!-- Menu:Link -->" <!--Menu opup -->><!-- Menu:LinkName --></a></li>
<!-- Menu:EndItem -->
</tr>
<!-- Menu:EndItemList -->

<!-- Menu:StartStandAlone -->
<tr>
<td class=MenuChoice align=left>
<!-- Menu:StandAloneContent -->
</td>
</tr>
<!-- Menu:EndStandAlone -->
</table>
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks in advance to anyone that can solve my mystery of the moving text!!!
Oh, you just w ant a background image, and you can place your text on it...You won't need the StaticName command then.

Try mosdifying the CSS file and adding a rule to the .MenuCat definition

.MenuCat{
...
background-image:url(http://reborn.dkpsystem.com/settings/reborn/files/button.jpg)
...
}


you'll also probabaly need to play with the height of that particular rule too

Would it just be possible to make thing for us to change this like how u have the bullet to change the bullets in the layout section bullet image? Cause i ben tryign for 3 week to find a way to do this with out it looking like<insert cuss word here>I even went looking for other examples of code to do this and well there no wally world of code to just do this i have even hit up my local lybrary trying to read and find ways to better understand this!!!
My suggestion was to put it in the CSS file, rather than in the HTML for the menupage.

If you want to put it in the menupage, then try this:


<table border=0 class="Menu" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" width="167">
</tr>
<td class="Menucat" align="center" background="http://reborn.dkpsystem.com/settings/reborn/files/button.jpg"> <!-- Menu:Title --></td>
<tr>
<!-- Menu:StartItemList -->
<tr>
<td class="MenuChoice" align="left">
<!-- Menu:StartItem -->
<li><a href="<!-- Menu:Link -->" <!--Menu:Popup -->><!-- Menu:LinkName --></a></li>
<!-- Menu:EndItem -->
</tr>
<!-- Menu:EndItemList -->

<!-- Menu:StartStandAlone -->
<tr>
<td class=MenuChoice align=left>
<!-- Menu:StandAloneContent -->
</td>
</tr>
<!-- Menu:EndStandAlone -->
</table>


Remember, CSS and HTML are different. The above file is HTML. You may insert CSS rules to the various tags like <td style="somerule:somevalue">

not sure what i am doing wrong
Alrighty, the class from the CSS was overwriting your custom settings in the HTML. I didn't realize that would happen.

I modified your menufile to include the proper stuff:

Notice that I added style="background:url(http:......button.jpg)" to the associated thing.

You can work with it from there.

There is a slight frame jump on your Intro when it loops. You might want to see if you can edit it. The cycle looks like he starts to come forward again then it lurches back and restarts.

Your floating DKP standings button is a little...well annoying to me. Only because it is always covering up part of a menu or completely blocking the who is currently online portion.

I was actually looking to do this too and ran into the same problem. Would I need help to? I am completely clueless about this Advanced Layout stuff and have just been doing trial and error and hoping it works out.
