Hi,

I have followed the steps with mapping asp.net 2.0 menu to the Navigation Provider.
I am now trying to style it.

I have the following definition for the menu in the skin (ascx) file

<dnn:MENU runat="server" id="dnnMENU" PathSystemImage="[APPIMAGEPATH]" PathImage="[HOMEDIRECTORY]" CSSControl="MainMenu_MenuBar" CSSContainerRoot="MainMenu_MenuContainer" CSSNode="MainMenu_MenuItem" CSSIcon="MainMenu_MenuIcon" CSSContainerSub="MainMenu_SubMenu" CSSNodeHover="MainMenu_MenuItemSel" ProviderName="ASP2MenuNavigationProvider"></dnn:MENU>

I am using the out of the box Gray skin at the moment.

I have noticed in the page output that this block of style code is generated

   <style type="text/css">
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_0 { background-color:white;visibility:hidden;display:none;position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px; }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_1 { text-decoration:none; }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_2 {  }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_3 { border-style:none; }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_4 {  }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_5 {  }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_6 { border-style:none; }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_7 {  }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_8 { border-style:none; }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_9 {  }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_10 { border-style:none; }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_11 {  }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_12 { border-style:none; }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_13 {  }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_14 { border-style:none; }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_15 {  }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_16 { border-style:none; }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_17 {  }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_18 { border-style:none; }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_19 {  }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_20 {  }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_21 {  }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_22 {  }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_23 {  }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_24 {  }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_25 {  }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_26 {  }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_27 {  }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_28 {  }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_29 {  }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_30 {  }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_31 {  }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_32 {  }
 .dnn_dnnMENU_ctldnnMENU_33 {  }

</style>

How do I assign values to appear here ?

These styles controlled by the Menu control and you don't have control over what gets put in them directly.  I believe these styles in particular are controlled by the controls LevelMenuItemStyles and LevelSelectedStyles which are the properties that I use to handle applying different styles to the root and submenus.  You can read a little more on how the provider interacts with this menu in my blog.

The best advice I can give in understanding how this menu works with DNN is to play around with the interface the navigation provider exposes.  The document linked in my blog shows what is handled by each control.

Hi,

is it somehow possible to make the menu use "separatecss", so that the item styles/ selected item styles don't show up in the page?

Greetings,

Sabine

The separatecss property is currently specific to solpart.  I suppose one could re-work the aspnet2menu nav provider to use this property to assign the styles differently.  Not sure how you would get your styles associated though, since the class names need to match the ids (I believe).

Hi,

I use a menu adapter to get  the aspnet2menu to render a list.  In the adapter I assign the ids and classes which I then define in the CSS. So, no need for the inline CSS created by the menu and I really would like to avoid those lines at the beginning of the page.

Any advise on how to implement the separatecss property would be great, as I'm used to C# und VB is still a bit strange for me .

Kind regards

Sabine
