When you say add images, do you mean icons for example that appear alongside the drop down menu's text? Since the markup for the drop down menus are just plain HTML (UL lists), you should be able to do so just by adding in image tags into the mix.

As mentioned, you can try just inserting <img> tags inside the drop down menus' markup, for example:


<ul>
<li><a href="#">Sub Item 5.1a</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item Folder 5.2a</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#"><img src="icon.gif" /> Sub Item 5.2.1a</a></li>
<li><a href="#"><img src="icon.gif" /> Sub Item 5.2.2a</a></li>
<li><a href="#"><img src="icon.gif" /> Sub Item 5.2.3a</a></li>
<li><a href="#"><img src="icon.gif" /> Sub Item 5.2.4a</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

Ok, let me try that. then is it possible via CSS to make the block look almost 3D? The square doesn't do it for me. Can i have a round edge?

I'll try the help and post results. Thanks

The drop down menus are styled using CSS (inside flexdropdown.css), so speaking in general terms, yes, you can modify its look based on what`s possible in CSS.
