Hi Brian,

I'm trying to do something similar with the new dnnMenu but it's a little different than your setup.  I've got two menus, one as a main horizontal menu showing only root items and another vertical menu showing the children of the main root.  I want the active tab on the main horizontal menu to remain active/selected even after a child item has been selected from the vertical menu.  In other words, both the tab on the horizontal menu and child menu remain active/selected at the same time.  I have tried the varoius CSS classes form the documentation, but have had no success, only one or the other remains selected.  Any ideas?

Paul

According to the documentation: you need to use: CSSBreadCrumbRoot (found in the breadcrumb array list - Overrides CSSNode) according to the documentation it is the equivalent of rootmenuitembreadcrumbcssclass (solpart). I haven't tried it meself so no garanties, also watch out for ordering issues in your CSS file, place it below the other menu classes.

Maybe things aren't working as advertised due to my classes in the acsx file.  I am suspicious that the 2 menus are configured incorrectly


<div id="menu">
            <dnn:NAV runat="server" ID="dnnNAV" ProviderName="DNNMenuNavigationProvider"
                CSSControl="main_dnnmenu_bar"  CSSNode="main_dnnmenu_item"   CSSNodeRoot="main_dnnmenu_rootitem"
                CSSNodeHover="main_dnnmenu_itemhover" CSSNodeSelectedRoot="main_dnnmenu_itemselect"
                IndicateChildren="false" ExpandDepth="1" PopulateNodesFromClient="false" StartTabId="-1"
                ControlOrientation="horizontal" />
        </div>

<div id="leftpanetop">
            <div id="leftpane" runat="server">
                <dnn:NAV runat="server" ID="dnnNAV1" ProviderName="DNNMenuNavigationProvider"
                    CSSControl="main_subdnnmenu_bar" CSSContainerSub="main_subdnnmenu_container" CSSNode="main_subdnnmenu_item" CSSNodeRoot="main_subdnnmenu_rootitem"
                    CSSNodeHover="main_subdnnmenu_itemhover"  CSSNodeSelectedSub="main_subdnnmenu_itemselect"
                    IndicateChildren="false" PopulateNodesFromClient="false" ControlOrientation="vertical"
                    Level="child" />
</div>

Can anybody help with this.  It's hard to imagine that I'm the only one using the new dnnMenu and trying to accomplish something that is common to 1000,s of sites - using persistent link colors as a substitute for breadcrumbs.  My skins almost complete and I would like to get this resolved. Thanks in advance.

Paul
