//** These must be present for whichever or both of the arrow(s) are used and will preload.
//** See: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/showthread.php?p=278181#post278181
//Specify full URL to down and right arrow images (23 is padding-right to add to top level LIs with drop downs):

var jqueryslidemenu={

) //end hover
$curobj.click(function(){
$(this).children("ul:eq(0)").hide()
})
}) //end $headers.each()
$mainmenu.find("ul").css({display:'none', visibility:'visible'})
}) //end document.ready
}
}
//build menu with ID="myslidemenu" on page:
jqueryslidemenu.buildmenu("myslidemenu", arrowimages)
It provides for (in this case) a:
down_over.gif
and a:
right_over.gif
I say "in this case" because whatever filename you use for each of these arrows, the script will look for an '_over' version of it for use with the hover effects.
So let's say you use different filenames, like:
//Specify full URL to down and right arrow images (23 is padding-right to add to top level LIs with drop downs):
var arrowimages={down:['downarrowclass', 'mydown.png', 23], right:['rightarrowclass', ''myright.png], re: /\.(?=(gif)|(jpg)|(png))/i}
In that case for the hover effects it will look for:
mydown_over.png
and:
myright_over.png
That's it. Any questions, just ask.
