I am trying to create the following HTML menu in ASP.NET 4.0 using asp.net menu control but not succeeded yet. I set the RenderMode="List" in Menu control but it creates different view:
HTML ( Similar menu I want in ASP.NET 4.0 using Menu control)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<ul id="mainNavMenu">
I am using an ASP.NET 4.0 Menu control with RenderingMode=List and am struggling with creating the appropriate CSS. Each menu item is represented by an <li> tag that contains a nested <a> tag with what appear to be fixed class names:
<a class="level1"> for unselected level 1 menu items
<a class="level2"> for unselected level 2 menu items
<a class="level1 selected"> for the selected level 1 menu item
What I want to do is to is to prevent the currently selected menu item from being "clickable". To do so I tried using:
if (menuItem.Selected) menuItem.Selectable = false;
This has the desired effect of removing the href attribute from the <a> tag but also removes the class attribute - and as a result my CSS can not identify what level the menu item belongs to! Looks to me like a possible bug, but in any case I can't find any documentation describing what CSS class names are used, nor whether there is any way to control this (the old Style properties don't appear to have any effect). Ideally I would like to have "level" class attributes on the <li> tags, not just the nested <a> tags.
UPDATE
I've taken a look at the System.Web source with Reflector, and it appears that it does explicitly skip outputting CSS attributes if Selectable=false. The following is extracted from MenuRendererStandards.RenderItemLinkAttributes:
if (!item.Selectable)
{
return needsAccessKey; // !! exits without setting class attribute
}
if (item.Selected)
{
cssClass = cssClass + " selected";
}
writer.AddAttribute(HtmlTextWriterAttribute.Class, cssClass);
I'm attempting to create a simple menu user control just as outlined here.
The attached code results in an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error, but I can't figure out why.
<%@ Master Language="VB" CodeFile="MySite.master.vb" Inherits="MySite" %>
<%@ Register src="Controls/Menu.ascx" tagname="Menu" tagprefix="my" %>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">......
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.
View 1 RepliesCurrently I have a menu control on my webform in ASP.Net 4.0 :
<div class="PNMenu">
<asp:SiteMapDataSource ID="PNSiteMap" runat="server" ShowStartingNode="false" />
<asp:Menu ID="PNMainMenu" runat="server" DataSourceID="PNSiteMap" RenderingMode="List" Orientation="Horizontal" CssClass="PN-PrimaryNavMenu" >
</asp:Menu>
</div>
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.
.PNMenu
{

View 1 RepliesWe 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 am doing a rework on one of my sites and I am attempting to use the asp:menu control.
I am using images in the static and dynamic menus. Hard coded at this point.
On my local machine it works fine but when I upload to the server, the image on the dynamci menus do not appear.
Instead I just get white space where the images should be.
Here is the code:

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.

Sitemap & Menu:
<asp:SiteMapDataSource ID="Menu" runat="server" ShowStartingNode="false" />
<asp:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server" Orientation="Horizontal" OnMenuItemDataBound="OnMenuItemDataBound" DataSourceID="Menu" >
<LevelMenuItemStyles>
<asp:MenuItemStyle CssClass="Menu" />
<asp:MenuItemStyle CssClass="Level" />
</LevelMenuItemStyles>
</asp:Menu>
<siteMapNode url="javascript:Logout" title="Logout" description="Logout" roles="*">
<siteMapNode title="Logout" description="Logout"></siteMapNode>

I want to create a drop down menu in ASP.NET such as this website [URL] when I click on the button or the object I get other links to other pages that I specify by myself. Can anyone show us steps or guide me?
View 1 RepliesI've migrated a test site to asp.net 4.0 to take advantage of the list renderingmode for a menu. Having the UL and LI should be easier than the table rendering.I'm making progress, (still have work to do, just ignore the odd border) however one issue continues to plague the testing. IN IE 6,7,8, as the page is rendering, it appears the menu is flickering and trying to render as a vertical menu instead of the correct
orientation which is horizontal. In Moz, Chrome, Sarafi, Opera, I don't get this behavior.
The menu is styled with CSS however I'm not opposed to adding some corrective code directly to the masterpage that holds the menu. I'd apprecate a suggestion as to how to solve this because as it is, it is not usable.Here is the link to the test site.
http://testbeachcrab.net.serv7.temphostspace.com/default.aspx
I have placed an aspx menu control on my master page with orientation as Horizontal. Below is HTML markup.
HTML Code:
<asp:Menu ID="mnuMedChem" runat="server" Orientation="Horizontal" Width="100%" OnMenuItemClick="mnuMedChem_MenuItemClick">
<DynamicHoverStyle CssClass="DynamicHover" />
<DynamicMenuItemStyle CssClass="DynamicMenuItem" />
[Code]....
I have tried populating the menus from my database by using the
Code:
mnuMedChem.Items.Add
and
Code:
mnuMedChem.FindControl(value).ChildItems.Add
The menu items and the childs are populating correctly but then the menu is not being displayed on the menu control.
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).
