C# - Menu Control In Master Page Fails To Use CSS Styles?
Jun 2, 2010
I'm working on a web application that uses ASP.NET 3.5 and C#. Structurally, I have a master page with a menu control on it. The control serves as my navigation, and it gets its items from a SiteMapDataSource control and a corresponding Web.sitemap file.
The problem is that some styles do not render properly when you specify the CssClass property. More specifically, the selected and hover styles don't respond to css styles. Consider the code below:
[code]....
any insight into what is causing this problem and how to neatly work around it? I'm aware I might be able to programmically determine the current page and select the corresponding menu item manually so it receives the proper style class, but before I resort to hacking C# and Javascript together to fix this functionality.

I have created a menu in ASP.net 4.0 which is is rendered as UL/LI
However I am frustrated with ASP as it produces unwanted style e.g. style="position: relative; width: auto; float: left;" in the UL tag according to firebug. I would really like it to render without this.
A second question is the output in firebug is not the same as if I look at the page source i.e. the style="..." is not in the UL? Is Firebug wrong...can it be trusted?
The ASP is as follows:
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="ContentPlaceHolder2" runat="server">
<asp:SiteMapDataSource runat="server" ID="siteMapDataSource" ShowStartingNode="false" />
<asp:Menu runat="server" Orientation="Vertical" DataSourceID="siteMapDataSource" RenderingMode="list" /> [code]....

I've encountered was appears to be a strange bug with the menu control, and alas, I am unable to find much useful information on it (which leads me to believe I have something installed or confingured incorrectly). Here the problem:
When declaring a menu control with a staticHoverStyle, for example:
<asp:Menu
ID="navMenu"
DataSourceID="srcSiteMap" [code]....
Has no effect on the behavior of the control once it's rendered, neither in Firefox nor IE.In fact, using the source code at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms366731.aspx with no modifications also results in the hoverstyle not working.
This problem seems to be "fixed" if you specify the css attribute declaratively, for example, StaticMenuItemStyle-BackColor="Yellow".
Alternatively, if you specify RenderingMode="table" then the hoverstyle seems to work. It's only when you're using a cssclass with a list that things seem to mess up.
Finally, I notice that in the rendered html, the control embeds some styles between /* <![CDATA[ */ and /* ]]> */ comments that affects the final appearance of the menu control, sometimes overwriting a cssclass you specified (ex: the margin for dynamic menus can only be controlled with the HorizontalOffset property, and not by css). This is undesirable, but I don't see anything that seems to overwrite the behavior of hover elements. Actually, the .hoveritem class doesn't appear anywhere in the markup at all, but when you specify the StaticMenuItemStyle-BackColor property, then the value is rendered correctly in this block of styles.

Has anyone had any issues when updating a CSS file (app created from C# Application Web Site in VS2010) and not having the changes be reflected in the browser, but you can see them in the dev env? I've tried clearing cache and rebooting... After a while of trying to set a background image to .header (which shows up in the dev env) something crazy happens to my Default.aspx and I can't get any styles applied. I'm at a loss right now...

I have a MasterPage where I use the menu control. Clicking a menu item loads a new content page. That part works fine.
I would like to use staticselected style to change the look of the selected menu item. However, when the new content page loads, the staticselectedsyle formatting does not work.

I have seen numerous posts with this problem, however none of the solutions have worked for me. I am using asp.net 4.0 forms authentication. I have the following set in my config file.
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="~/Account/Login.aspx" />
</authentication>
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
</authorization>
The login.aspx page uses a master page and styles in a stylesheet located in a folder off the root directory called 'Styles'. I have also add the following to my config file.
<location path="~/Styles">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users = "*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
When the page displays, the login page displays with the master page content, however all of the styles are missing. When I embed styles into the master page the styles show properly, so I know the problem is that the styles are not being accessed from the file. how I can authorize access to the stylesheet?

I have a Menu control in my master page, which I dynamicly add items to in each content page:
[Code]....
how can I call the method if it's in the content page?
I thought about saving in the ViewState something that will mark it was clicked, but the MenuItemClicked event is fired after Page_Load event is fired.

I have an asp:Menu control on a master page that is reading its menu items from a web.sitemap file via a SiteMapDataSource.When I click on a menu, the new page loads which uses the same master page, but the ASP:Menu vanishes. I have put some plain text next to the menu for testing, this appears on the new page but the menu does not.Does anyone know how to get the asp:Menu to remain visible on the page?

but I've tried everything I could think of and am at the end of my rope. I've got a page (faithfamilychurch.com/v2aspx/Default.aspx) that I am trying to get the flyout menu and flyout quicklinks at the top to come out over the contentPage content. I've set the z-index of each to much higher values than the content page, but still nothing. I've tried the tactic of changing the contentPage z-index to -1, but there is some master page content that needs to appear behind the contentPlaceHolder. Code below.
Master Page:

Content Page:

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 am using Spry menu bar in asp.net but the problem is that when i use the menubar js and the css alongwith the javascript to initiate the widget in a master page nothing happens on mouse over while when i use the same code in a simple .net page it works perfectly. Am i missing something. A menu should be used in master page but if spry menu does not work in master page this way then i might have to move the menu to internal pages which is obviously not a preferred way.

So i want to create a simple menu but i'm just getting started so here is my thoughts.
1)I've seen a lot of javascript based menus.Can i incorporate one of them inside a server control?Also can i use roles to determine who views what page?With sitemap?
2)Sitemap ok for menus and roles?
3)I'm testing a menu control with a SiteMapDataSource. Ok i have much problems but the no1 problem is that i want the tabs to go horizontal in the page and not vertical.
[code]....
I thought i could change the sitemap but it only allows on sitemapnode. Here is a sitemap i have done long time ago and i used it. I don't know why i have set p.e. ?cat=usr, probably wrong?I don't get anything from a querystring.Ajnyway i thought i'll leave it so you may comment.

I recently stumbled upon this thread over at StackOverflow regarding the dynamic construction of a Master Page menu based on what roles a user is a part of. The original poster proposed a solution to his own problem, but rightfully noted that it was kludgey in that it didn't scale, but also that it violated the Separation of Concerns (SoC) model of MVC.
