It's pretty easy, for browsers that can support this by CSS; I know this to work with at least Gecko (all Mozilla-based browsers) and IE6. It won't cost you anything.

We are looking at adding a right-to-left menu and find we can almost make this work by using the DIR=RTL but there are some minor problems which we think will need a small change to the menu code.

(1) The menu arrow icon (for sub-menus) still points to the right, but for a Right-To-Left menu, a different icon is needed which points to the left
(2) When the shadow is turned on, this should appear to the left - but this appears on the right.
(3) When a sub-menu pops up, this will always try to appear on the right if there is room - for a right-to-left screen, the first sub menu will appear to the left (correct) but after this any more sub-menus can appear to the left because there is now enough room. For right-to-left, instead of always trying to appear on the right and only on the left when there is no room, the opposite should be done - appear on the left unless there is no room, and only then appear on the right.

These seem to be very small differences and the menu can already do some of these things correctly, but defaults to trying to do things the left-to-right way first.

Is it possible to add a new menu parameter which sets the right-to-left method as to be used if it is set - this seems to be just a case of adding a check to see what type of icon to display and then to try to go to the left first instead of to the right first.

Thank you.

That's the smallest problem..  The big problem is making the arrow display in the left column, and the item's icon in the right column.  I presume you would like this, right?

You should be able to fix this already using the “shadows
