    Have a look at their css menu, the one that is in black with the About News etc on there.

    Want the same, but in our silver.

    Wow, you've got your menu items really stuffed in there. You'll need an accessible menu, using complete image replacement, because while the black menu could just have normal link text and the background change on :hover, your menu would totally break if any visitor had a slightly different dpi, default font size, or did a text-enlarge. So you need one long image, the image of your entire menu with the words on it, which sits over your menu items, covering the real link text with the image. The image should contain both states (normal and hover, although you can also have a 3rd, active) which slides around.

    I'm not sure if you could get away with a gif... you'd otherwise want a png for this, and they can get pretty big if they are not optimised right.

    Anyone sending you a menu that doesn't look like this:
    <ul id="tehgreymenu">
    <li><a href="#">Home<span></span></a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Pro<span></span></a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Events<span></span></a></li>
    etc...
    </ul>

    don't take it. But you are right to ditch the image map and mouseover stuff. That's bogus. I don't even see it, as I'm on hubby's JS-crippled machine.

    Listen to Stomme poes. This is not a trivial undertaking* if you're going to do it correctly. Considering the page's over all structure's being far from best practice**, you really should consider a complete makeover. Based on the html, I'd guess the back-end scripting fails to separate logic and structure, and should be rewritten.

    cheers,

    gary

    * An amateur/beginner might be willing, even happy, to do the job for US$10. Expect a competent pro to bill a four hour minimum @ $75/hr or more. Coders in developing countries might have considerably lower rates.

    ** Or, valid, for that matter.
