John, first of all, thanks for the help :)

Ok, this is a good solution, but I still have some problems:

- I don't want to have my css images in Pier, but in library.
- I have 2 images per menu item: the unslected one and the selected one
(hoover). I need to set this trought CSS.
- I think I need to set width for each menu item

each menu item. Does that help me?
