We've recently set up a new DNN 5.0 installation, which is what we're planning to use going forward (at the moment, we're not upgrading older DNN sites.)  Documentation seems piecemeal, but these forums have been a great help, and we're generally getting by just fine.  I'm beginning to believe, however, that I misunderstood something.

Does the current build of DNN include support for the RenderMode property spoken of by Jon Henning (here)? I've been able to locate a more recent enhancement ticket in Gemini (here, and a recent support post in this very forum indicates that the attribute is currently functional for the control...

...but even then, I've had no luck finding out a concrete answer either way, and I certainly haven't been able to get it to work in testing. Was the syntax changed, and I'm looking under the wrong terms? Or is it still in the pipeline, waiting to make its debut? Like others, we're experiencing trouble using the default DNN Nav provider in IE6, with the submenus being unclickable, so we'd hoped that rolling over to the unordered list mode would be a simple fix (in addition, our primary business is SEO, and we prefer the unordered list style for that.)

Any information available on this would be greatly appreciated.

I am confused.  RenderMode has worked with the Nav Skin object for over a year.  There was simply a new RenderMode added to the new DNNMenu.  The one catch is that the core does not support Custom Attributes with html skins, only ascx skins.  This has been something I have been trying to get added to the core, but with little luck.

Regarding the IE6 bug and others.  I will be posting an installation package for the next version of webcontrols and clientapi on codeplex soon.

Hrm.  I wonder what we're experiencing, then.  I am using an ASCX skin file (skin directory currently contains "index.ascx", "index.doctype.xml", two stylesheets, a preview JPG, and the graphics in a subfolder).  For that matter, I've tried adding the RenderMode property to the NAV skin object on the MinimalEntropy skin, as well, to no effect.

The only difference I'm seeing between what Peter & I are doing is that I've been adding the "RenderMode" property directly into the skin object, as opposed to a sub under CustomAttributes, which may in fact be an error on my part.  Below is the skin object, as it appears in the ASCX skin:

<dnn:NAV runat="server" id="dnnNAV"  ProviderName="DNNMenuNavigationProvider" IndicateChildren="false" ControlOrientation="Vertical"
CSSNodeRoot="main_dnnmenu_rootitem" CSSNodeHoverRoot="main_dnnmenu_rootitem_hover"
CSSNodeSelectedRoot="main_dnnmenu_rootitem_selected" CSSBreadCrumbRoot="main_dnnmenu_rootitem_selected"
CSSContainerSub="main_dnnmenu_submenu" CSSNodeHoverSub="main_dnnmenu_itemhover"
CSSNodeSelectedSub="main_dnnmenu_itemselected" CSSContainerRoot="main_dnnmenu_container"
CSSControl="main_dnnmenu_bar" CSSBreak="main_dnnmenu_break" RenderMode="UnorderdList" />

Tried adding it as a custom attribute as did Peter, and still no luck.
