Web Forms :: IE8, Firefox 3.6.8 Renders The Dynamic Menus Without The White Background?
Sep 2, 2010
Ok, everyone knows that the z-index is messed up in IE8 and that requires patches or workarounds...
What I can't seem to find a solution to is the white background on the DynamicMenu parts of a Menu control. Setting the background color to transparent or not setting it all doesn't seem to have any effect. This is only a problem in IE8, Firefox 3.6.8 renders the dynamic menus without the white background.
I have a masterpage that contains all my dropdown menu controls. The 2 largest browser hits on my site are IE and Firefox (in that order). I just recently updated to the latest version of Firefox and now... my dropdown menus no longer appear with Firefox but still do with IE.
There is nothing strange going on with my masterpage and it used to work fine in both IE and Firefox. Not too sure what is going on and can't seem to find anyone else who has posted on this subject.
A Datalist result area is coming up with a white backround. I am placing it in a box with a background image so it really needs to be transparent, not white. I have tried to adjust this in the properties of the datalist as weel as my CSS but I seem to be missing the one place I need to adjust.
I have an ASP.Net 3.5 application with a menu. The menu is set to an xmlDataSource. The xmlDataSource is given the menus for the user as a dataset. The xmlDataSource uses an xsl transform file.Here is the code behind:

My problem is, when another user logs into the system, he/she gets the previous user's menus. This is based on time somehow, because if you wait long enough after another user has left a page, you'll get the proper menus.Could it have something to do with page caching? Is there something I'm missing with menus?
I want to create dynamic link buttons in the asp.net code based on who logged in. For e.g. if the salespesron logged in , he should see "Customer List" and "Item Search" as menu options.
If customer logged in , it should be able to see "Customer Details" and "Item Search" as menu options.
I'm not sure how to create this dynamically in html code.
I try to serach and found the code below on this forum but it doesn't appears to create any dynamic button menu.
Does anyone out there use ComponentOne's C1Menu and create a menu with subitems at runtime? I have went through their forums and help and anything at runtime is done with C1WebMenu which was replaced with this version.I need to create the whole menu with subitems. Can you show code for this if you have?
in one of my page i need to display the menus & sub menus dynamically,for this i have a menu table called colleges & one more table called branchs 1] ABC Science ArtsCommarce2] EFG mathszoology historylike thissome times the menus are 3some times they may be 4,5,6 may randommy incresesfor this i have the two table one is menu & sub-menus
i have a gridview bound to sql datasource with template fields binding the columns. I have set the Header Style to a css class. I have 3 columns not bound to data as Add, Edit and Delete. When I set the text color to white for the header only the non bound columns go white. The bound columns are BLUE like hyperlink. Any one know a way round this. (If I set the style in the gridview the all columns are white. Want to set in external css file).
I'm currently writing a web app in ASP.NET MVC 1.0 (although I do have MVC 2.0 installed on my PC, so I'm not exactly restricted to 1.0) -- I've started with the standard MVC project which has your basic "Welcome to ASP.NET MVC" and shows both the [Home] tab and [About] tab in the upper-right corner. Pretty standard, right? I've added 4 new Controller classes, let's call them "Astronomer", "Biologist", "Chemist", and "Physicist". Attached to each new controller class is the [Authorize] attribute. For example, for the BiologistController.cs
[Authorize(Roles = "Biologist,Admin")] public class BiologistController : Controller { public ActionResult Index() { return View(); } }
These [Authorize] tags naturally limit which user can access different controllers depending on Roles, but I want to dynamically build a Menu at the top of my website in the Site.Master Page based on the Roles the user is a part of. So for example, if "JoeUser" was a member of Roles "Astronomer" and "Physicist", the navigation menu would say:
[Home] [Astronomer] [Physicist] [About]
And naturally, it would not list links to "Biologist" or "Chemist" controller Index page. Or if "JohnAdmin" was a member of Role "Admin", links to all 4 controllers would show up in the navigation bar. Ok, you prolly get the idea... Now for the real question... Starting with the answer from this StackOverflow topic about Dynamic Menu building in ASP.NET, I'm trying to understand how I would fully implement this. (I'm a newbie and need a little more guidance, so please bare with me.) The answer proposes Extending the Controller class (call it "ExtController") and then have each new WhateverController inherit from ExtController.
My conclusion is that I would need to use Reflection in this ExtController Constructor to determine which Classes and Methods have [Authorize] attributes attached to them to determine the Roles. Then using a Static Dictionary, store the Roles and Controllers/Methods in key-value pairs. I imagine it something like this:
public class ExtController : Controller { protected static Dictionary<Type,List<string>> ControllerRolesDictionary; protected override void OnActionExecuted(ActionExecutedContext filterContext) { // build list of menu items based on user's permissions, and add it to ViewData IEnumerable<MenuItem> menu = BuildMenu(); ViewData["Menu"] = menu; } private IEnumerable<MenuItem> BuildMenu() { // Code to build a menu SomeRoleProvider rp = new SomeRoleProvider(); foreach (var role in rp.GetRolesForUser(HttpContext.User.Identity.Name)) { } } public ExtController() { // Use this.GetType() to determine if this Controller is already in the Dictionary if (!ControllerRolesDictionary.ContainsKey(this.GetType())) { // If not, use Reflection to add List of Roles to Dictionary // associating with Controller } } }
Is this doable? If so, how do I perform Reflection in the ExtController constructor to discover the [Authorize] attribute and related Roles (if any) ALSO! Feel free to go out-of-scope on this question and suggest an alternate way of solving this "Dynamic Site.Master Menu based on Roles" problem. I'm the first to admit that this may not be the best approach.
I have added 7 banners on my home page and i am roteting them with using JavaScript. I have horizontal menu with submenus. and below that i have disply above roteting banner. now it works very well in IE but while in Firefox it diaply behind the banner. so that dynamic submenu can not able to disply. [URL] website url.
I have a griview which is bounded to a sqldatasource and changed dynamically. How do I change the background cell color based on the value? e.g., 0-0.5 green, 0.5-1 red, sth like that.
I have a situation where I have ~10-20 different background images in a folder. When my site loads I need to choose a specific one of these images based upon some values from the database.
I thought about using runat=server on the body tag, and then adding the attributes dynamically on page_load.
I have a series of linkbuttons that are generated dynamically inside a repeater.
I need the background color of the selected linkButton to change and remain a new color when clicked. I thought that the ItemCommand property of the repeater would do the trick, but it doesn't.
I am using Visual web developer 2008 Express. I have a menu with a static top level and a dynamic second level. When the dynamic level is displayed the background is always white. How do I set the background and foreground colors for the dynamic menulevel?
I try to run each control and then check what html did it render.
But this seems to me as an inaccurate method as whenever we add or remove the properties, or events of the control,the rendered HTML changes. Is there any book/tutorial/article to explain what is the standard HTML rendered by each asp.net control.
The menu control when used on the newly released VS2010 with ASP.Net version 4.0 renders vertically briefly, then renders horizontally. This causes a 1/2 second annoying flash of the menu in vertical form before it disappears and renders horizontally as intended. If you choose to render the menu as a table this problem doesn't happen, but if you choose to render the menu as a list (using <ul><li>) then if happens every time, but is hidden on development systems where response is quick enough such that the rendering vertically is not visible to the naked eye. How can I cause the rendering to be horizontal (without the brief vertical rendering)?
I have a requirement to hide certain buttons in a standard MOSS page. The buttons are generated by a Microsoft UserControl and some buttons must be hidden before displayed to the user. This page cannot be customized, so the only approach is to have an httpmodule which would use some Javascript and C# to hide the unwanted buttons. So my question is during which event should the javascript be used to pick out the DOM elements and set their visible property? Can anyone give a code example?
I have a ListView bound to a database view (vw_Reunions). The Eval statements in the ItemTemplate render the data in vw_Reunions just fine but I have one in the LayoutTemplate that doesn't display. Can anyone tell me why?
This seems so very simple yet I am very stuck. Following some articles on the web, I came up with an ASP.NET web app page that is all declarative (no code behind) yet when it produces NOTHING I feel so totally stuck about what I've done wrong. Here is the entire little page:
