Is there actually a problem here? Just try putting the CSS in your page and see if it works... (Though for starters urls do not contain back slashes...)

Have you tried this? There are a lot of ways to add images as backgrounds but it will depend on what your menu is (divs, tables, etc).

Setting background using CSS like:

CSS

background-image:url("Images/MenuStatic.gif");

is perfectly fine and should work. Try out.

Make sure that the URL used is valid and image is located at the specified location.

this is very helpful. But the image only set for top of the menu, not set for sub menus. how to set the same image for sub menus?

Define css for submenuitem and then try to apply for it too.
