Magento

I am trying to use images for the main navigation insted of just text. Is this possible? A push in the right direction is appreciated. Thanks.

I was about to post the same question

Anyone???  I really could use some input.  Thanks!!

Hey, I figured one way to do it. You need to dig into the code to the file that creates the navigation and change how it prints out the html so it has an image tag instead of text. I also named the images after the category names since this is what get placed into the template dynamically. I will repost tonight with more detailed instructions.

You could also do this by changing the nav css to make blocks in the <ul><li> tags and then add css images in the background. Then use a class as

.byebyetext{
margin: -9999px;
}
and put that spanning across the text.

This is the better way in SEO terms for a site

Did anyone figure this out?

Bump! I really need this feature. Help!

there is another solution: use the .phtml file and place your image code with the link of the category.
