+ Menu: graphical menu

Please be aware that graphical menus won't work if ImageMagick isn't installed on the web server which hosts your TYPO3 website.

To make this type of menu work properly in IE, you'll have to edit a file in the source code of TYPO3. This file is typo3/sysext/cms/tslib/media/scripts/gmenu_layers.php. Scroll down to line 242 and remove 'style="width:100%; height:100%;"'.

The typoscript for GMENU is almost the same as GMENU_LAYERS, but the second part is removed, and GMENU_LAYERS is replaced with HMENU. Some properties used with GMENU_LAYERS won't work.

# this line can also be included in the typoscript template
