I looked at doign this via css.  I am not however looking to do a 
rollover.  I already do them essentially with css.  I want to add a 
header image (ie a separator or something, but make that separator an 
image not text.  There is an option for the "bullet image" though it 
doesn't seem to work, but overall that is the look I am looking for.

I will take a look at JSCook menu.

>To try it out, go to Module Manager and hit 'New'...

Thats kinda no fun, plus is a bit of a pain to copy all those "mambo"  
urls accuratly.  Plus  these menus might change pretty frequently.   If 
I were to engineer it I would add a new type of item to be placed on the 
menu.  Call it image, and then just reference one of the images.  
Instead of placing text in the space in the table I would place an "img 
src tag" and let the rest be done.  Seems like a good feature, can't 
believe it hasn't been done.  Maybe i'll take a whack at it.
