How to remove arrows from superfish menu

Note: Joel updated me via comments about the recommended way of removing arrows from superfish menu. I’m quoting his comment here.

The recommended way to do this is to set the “autoArrows” option to false when initialising Superfish.

$(‘#yourmenu’).superfish({
autoArrows: false
});

Check out the bottom of the page under the “options” tab on the Superfish docs (linked in my name) for another example.
