Web Forms :: Menu Control CSS Styling Broken In .NET 4?
Apr 16, 2010
I'm in the process of styling an asp.net menu in .NET 4 and I'm trying to understand the meaning of the StaticSelectedStyle-CssClass and StaticHoverStyle-CssClass parameters.My understanding is that the styles defined with these parameters are applied as CSS classes to the relevant elements, whenever needed. So I created my menu as follows:
[Code]....
It works for StaticMenuStyle-CssClass and StaticMenuStyle-CssClass (the classes are applied to the relevant elements), but StaticSelectedStyle-CssClass and StaticHoverStyle-CssClass are not applied, regardless of the selected or hover status of an element.
Here is the generated HTML:
[Code]....
So as you can see, StaticMenuStyle and StaticMenuItemStyle are applied, but not StaticSelectedStyle-CssClass or StaticHoverStyle-CssClass. Not sure why. I know I can use selected but isn't the expected behavior that StaticSelectedStyle-CssClass be applied??? By using selected I make assumptions as to what .NET does behind the scenes and that's not right.
At first glance this looks like exactly what I wanted. However, if I open up WebResource.axd there is a whole bunch of javascript code related to the menu. Part of this code is applying it's own inline styles to the list. Using FireBug I can view the HTML markup after the javascript has executed and it looks something like this:
[code]....
These inline styles ultimately affect the layout of my page. I have no need for any of the scripts in WebResource.axd. How can I prevent this script from being rendered in the final markup of the page?
I have seen many web sites using a vertical line as separator, between menu items. How can I create a menu with that line..?Is there any link about styling menu control ?
I'm trying to style an asp:Menu, so that when I hover over a child menu, all the parent menu's will have the background mouse over selected colour. (Take a look at the win xp start menu for example, with default theme blue, all parent menu's will be highlighted as blue if a child is selected) At first I thought this was something simple, but after intense researching (google), I am beginning to wonder...
I'm using an ASP:Menu control declared in markup as:
[Code]....
This is a simple menustrip that just gives the viewer of my webpage the ability to set the natural size of the page to something more suitable to the size of their browser window or screen resolution. The onclick code:
[Code]....
This is ridiculously simple stuff; the Session Resolution set by the click event is checked and accounted for in Page Init and PreRender and isn't relevant to this issue.In Visual Studio 2008 Debug mode on Windows 7, the page and its Menustrip load and work just fine in Firefox and also IE8 - everything works exactly as expected.After moving the project to my deployment platform (a Windows 2003 STD Server running IIS), the page continues to work just fine in Firefox but in IE8 (from the same Win7 machine I tested IE8 with in debug mode) the Menustrip won't work in IE8... the top-level shows, but when I move my mouse over the Page Size link it doesn't pop out the various size options - the left border edge disappears but the menu items don't appear. I've verified that Javascript is enabled in IE8.
Is there a way to force the asp:Menu control to spit out ul and li instead of tables, so that I can use my existing css styles to style them correctly or is that a lost cause?
for the radiobuttonlist control, when I try to style individual buttons with 'span'I get a error, is there some way to style each button?
[Code]....
error is:
System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItemCollection must have items of type 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem'. 'span' is of type 'System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl
using .net 4 and vs 2010 I have a gridview control that refuses to wrap the text in one column in IE 8, Safari 5 and Chrome 5, resulting in the grid extending outside of the page wrapper. I've got it to behave in IE 7 by creating a CSS class like so:
[Code]....
FF and Opera seem to rendere it correctly without any styling whatsoever. I've tried using the <ItemStyle wrap="true" /> property with no success. I've tried setting the wrap property in the designer with no success.
Is there a way to add/delete/update the default classes (for instance AspNet-Menu-WithChildren,AspNet-Menu-NonLink ) of the html generated by the asp.net menu or treeview control? I am using CSSAdapters so the menu control renders in a list format instead of table format.
I am trying to style the menu control to allow the menu items to float to the right of the container, however I am unable to do so as whenever I am styling the a, ul or li it keeps getting overidded by asp.net and floats everything left.
What I want is to show menu items Administrator or show user menu items.Show menu items using login...How I can do it with role provider, control menu and siteMap in masterpage?
We have to develop an application which has a Vertical left pane menu control which displays all the web pages (A,B,C say). Now if user is in page A and filled some data and clicks on menu control to go to page B, all the data in page A needs to be saved. Also if all the required field in page A are not filled and user navigated to page B, there will be one ! sign after the menu so that user can understand that there some some more fields need to be filled up.
We are planning to place the menu control in the Mater page. Please give me some direction to do this. My question is:
1. If user change menu (In Master Page), how should we save data?
2. How should we display the ! in the menu control?
I know that the code depicted below will not work but I am including it to convey the idea of what I wish to accomplish. I want to use a different SiteMap to construct the menu on the displayed page for each of three different classes of service (COS).
I set a session variable named "COS" at the login and want to test its value prior to rendering each page. I want to display a menu based upon the appropriate COS. Here is my first stab at it but I know that I cannot include <asp:...> controls within the "case" statements. Can anyone suggest methods of doing this? I know C# and can use that but I do not know how to select the proper sitemap within the <menu> control. I am also using a CSS in my production version.

I am trying to implement dropline menu using asp.net menu control. I found JQuery dropline code @ Dynamic Drive & currently using CssFriendly Adapters to get neet CSS, but i am unable to implement it as menu control renders its own css names.
I am working with asp.net 2.0 I have 1 problem Regarding Menu Control I used menu control in Master page. Now I have to find out Menu Item from Menu control depending on Condition. how to do that on server and Client side.
For the ASP.NET Menu Server Control whose RenderMode is set to "List", there is an "Orientation" property which decides whether the menu would render as a horizontal or a vertical menu. I have compared the two HTML source code and was unable to find out which part of the HTML/CSS code set the orientation of the menu(unordered list).
