Hi forum!
I would like some brief explanation how can i work with the css sprite for the radmenu button images. Currently im doing an image for each button (main and sub) and each one ias abou 2 kb witch is very bad i think. I know how css prite works (basic) and i would like to grab a 1px width image and fill the background of the items (radmenuitems) since i cant call the background-image and back-ground-repeat.
Also, i would like to know what is better in terms of performance to a website, use background-image with background-repeat and put the text as image or use background-image with background-repeat and use the normal radmenu text property (my problem here is that i can't find the font i want that is Microsoft Sans Serif that i use in photoshop)
Many thanks,
FEST

Hi Fest,
You can fill the background of the RadMenu using a single image and apply a background-image, background-repeat and background-position properties so that the image can fill in the whole RadMenu. To achieve the desired effect, however, you will need to select the right css class selectors. For instance here is a start example how to apply background sprite image by using the right css class selectors to the root menu items:
Considering your second question if you need to have a better performance I would suggest that you avoid setting background image to the different items and instead use the Text property. However, since the RadMenu is a light control, there should not be very significant difference in terms of performance if you decide to use images.
Kind regards,
