Mr. Henning,

I can supply you with some snippets of the CSS but the website is not publically available yet (still in development) hence a URL as you have requested does not exist.  I hope that in your professionalism you can understand. As a professional I never intend to publically publish a website that isn't finished.  All I can provide at this point is the CSS code that is in development as well.

What I can tell you is that the background color in the sample below DOES control the submenu's background color, BUT when I add "color: blue;" the text does not change.  The text takes the style from the ".MainMenu_MenuItem" portion of the CSS.  Can this be controlled seperatley then?

.MainMenu_SubMenu {
 z-index: 1000;
 font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
 font-size: 10pt;
 cursor: pointer;
 cursor: hand;
 background-color: white;
}

This is the rest of the CSS i'm using for the solpartmenu....

/* Main Menu */
.MainMenu_MenuContainer {
 background-color: transparent;
}
.MainMenu_MenuBar {
 cursor: pointer;
 cursor: hand;
 height:12;
 background-color: Transparent;
}
.MainMenu_MenuItem {
 cursor: hand; 
 color: white;
 font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
 font-size: 10pt;
 font-weight: normal;
 font-style: normal;
}
.MainMenu_MenuIcon {
 cursor: pointer;
 cursor: hand;
 text-align: center;
}
/*seems to be sub menu parts*/
.MainMenu_SubMenu {
 z-index: 1000;
 font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
 font-size: 10pt;
 cursor: pointer;
 cursor: hand;
 background-color: white;
}
.MainMenu_MenuBreak {
 border-bottom: #EEEEEE 1px solid;
 border-left: #EEEEEE 0px solid;
 border-top: #EEEEEE 1px solid; 
 border-right: #EEEEEE 0px solid;
 background-color: #EEEEEE;
 height: 1px;
}
/*menu over*/
.MainMenu_MenuItemSel {
 cursor: hand; 
 color: white;
 font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
 font-size: 10pt;
 font-weight: normal;
 font-style: normal;
}
.MainMenu_MenuArrow {
 font-family: webdings;
 font-size: 10pt;
 cursor: pointer;
 cursor: hand;
 border-right: #FFFFFF 1px solid;
 border-bottom: #FFFFFF 1px solid;
 border-top: #FFFFFF 0px solid;
}
.MainMenu_RootMenuArrow {
 font-family: webdings;
 font-size: 10pt;
 cursor: pointer;
 cursor: hand;
}

Thanks,

Mike

I totally understand the complexities of the situation (DNN & CSS in general).  That's why I've posted asking for help.  I posted with a bit less information because I was assuming that this may have been a common issue with DNN and skinning.  We all know DNN isn't perfected which is fine.

the file i'm editing comes directly from the skin package

\Portals\_default\Skins\PUCSkin\skin.css

I have made no other changes to any other CSS file besides the one included in the skin package.

I will do my best to get a zip file containing the files you have requested, heck I wouldn't mind sending you my skin.  I will need some time though to get everything ready as my day is getting heavier as it unfolds, please bear with me.

Thanks,

Mike
