I just want a simple vertical menu that will indent the children items.  Right now I get the default vertical menu with the (+) plus signs to expand children, but I need the children to be listed and indendet with no (+) plus signs.

Page 1
...Child of Page 1 Number 1
...Child of Page 1 Number 2
Page 2
...Child of Page 2 Number 1
...Child of Page 2 Number 2
Page 3
...Child of Page 3 Number 1
...Child of Page 3 Number 2

I have seen the items on skinning, but all I want to do is change the default menu behavior in DNN 4.3

Thanks for any help

Our default menu does not provide this behavior.  There are numerous alternative ways to do it, but the only ones that I use regularly and can refer are more commercial in nature ( menuing systems using telerik and Component Art ).  I'm sure you'll get a number of replies now that this request is in the skinning forum :)

Cheers,
Scott

I assume you mean like the left hand menu on this site: http://www.damnwitty.com

That uses the House menu from Tim rolands.

The skin.ascx has the following:

<dnn:HOUSEMENU runat="server" ID="dnnHOUSEMENU" Scope="-1" ShowAdmin="True" IsRecursive="True" Orientation="H" Mode="S" CssElementId="vertmenu" />

and the css is:

#vertmenu {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 100%;
width: 160px;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}

#vertmenu ul {
list-style: none;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
border: none;
}
#vertmenu ul li {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
#vertmenu ul li ul {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
padding-left: 5px;
}
#vertmenu ul li a {
font-size: 90%;
display: block;
border-bottom:1px solid #dadada;
padding: 5px 0px 2px 4px;
text-decoration: none;
color: #4088b8;
width:160px;
}

#vertmenu ul li ul li a {
width:155px;
}

#vertmenu ul li a:hover, #vertmenu ul li a:focus, #vertmenu ul li a#vertmenuCurrentLink  {
color: #000000;
background-color: #eeeeee;
}

Isomies,

That is EXACTLY what I am looking for.  So I just have to buy "House Menu" and install it and have it replace the default menu that DNN comes with and update the skin? is that correct?

Thanks again
