I am wondering how to do one of those pop up menus with my own images. Whenever I ask this question people send me to sites that either make the pop up menus for you or don't tell you how to use your own images as the menus, which is what I want to do. Like at http://www.starwars.com with their menu system. They seem to be using their own images as the menus. How can I do so?

Do you mean the "welcome, whats new, the movies etc" menu??
That is done with dhtml and css I think. Search on google for some tutorials on making dhtml menus.

weirdly enough, i do not see any pop up menu at all. it's just static images. =/

hmmm...I don't see it in firefox but I do in ie...atleast m$ did something right.

On the left where it has that cartoon type picture of some alien people or something then it says welcome, whats new and stuff. In IE when you hover a menu pops up.

The star wars navigation menu is using alt tags for the images <img src="your-image.jpg alt="your image title">. The alt tag is specific to IE, in firefox the tag is title.

thanks for pointing it out mouldy_punk. i wasn't thinking at that time. lol :D

am not sure 'bout this, but i've got an idea that doesn't use javascript.
you can try using :hover on <li> and <ul> and i think you would need a hack for it for IE.

in theory, it should work. you just need to tweak the basic idea to make it yours. ;)
