Boy, oh boy...  This seemed like something that should be easy, but I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to do it.  All I want is a static, non-expanding, indented vertical menu.  Something like this:

Main Menu Item
     Child Menu Item
     Child Menu Item
     Child Menu Item
Main Menu Item
Main Menu Item
     Child Menu Item

I don't want to have to click a little "plus" sign to expand the children.  They should just be there all the time.  In fact, I'd prefer not to even have the plus sign visible.  I've tried the TreeView, but can't do it with that.  I've tried both SolPartMenu and ASPNET2Menu and can't figure out how to do it with those either.  In the rush to add clickable spiffiness to these controls, has the ability to have simple static menus disappeared or am I just to dense to find it?

By the way, I've tried using the "ForceCrawlerDisplay" option, which does indeed make everything visible, but then it's not styleable with CSS because I have no way to target child items versus main menu items to make them look different - it just spits out the child menu items exactly like the parents but with a bunch of non-breaking spaces in front...

I sure wish I could just use CSSFriendly with this stuff, but that doesn't seem to work either!

Thanks in advance to ANYONE that can help.

Bob

Hi Bob

I realised what you want with the standard solpartmenu which comes with dnn:

in your skin.xml file add the following settings to your MENU token

display="vertical", forcedownlevel="true" and forcefullmenulist="true"

an example can be found here

I have moved to use the CSS NavMenu from Snapsis to acheive this effect....

Is there anything that will allow the same effect, but only the most recently selected (the breadcrumb) menu is expanded?
