Hi,

  I have developed a skin for which i am using the NAV skin object and it is made to render vertically.And i am using "DNNMenuNavigationProvider" for the same.

  I need to highlight the selected tab so i wrote a class and set the same for the "CSSNodeSelectedRoot".But unfortunately it is not working.Could somebody help me on this?.The the NAV object is as below:

<dnn:NAV runat="server" ForceDownLevel="true" ID="dnnNAV" ProviderName="DNNMenuNavigationProvider"
  CSSNodeSelectedRoot="checkClass"  IndicateChildren="false" ControlOrientation="Vertical" ExpandDepth="4"
   StartTabId='<%#PortalSettings.ActiveTab.BreadCrumbs(0).TabId%>' Level="Parent" />

Many Thanks,
Balu.

Hi Doty,

   Thank you for the quick reply.The video link you have provided helped me pin down the issue.As you have suggested i tried all the options but was in vain.
 
  Since my requirement was to render the menu vertically and i was using the level as "Parent",but never those classes came even after CSSControl attribute was set.It was observed that "Forcedownleve=true" which was causing the class not to be rendered.Now without this "forcedownlevel" everything is working perfect.
 
  However i need to retain this forcedownlevel as my menu navigation is supposed to show the parentand all the child elements statically.Is there any way i can retain my functionality of highlighting the selected tab by maintaining the forcedownlevel?.

Regards,
Balu.
 

Hmm... not sure, I've never had to tackle an issue like that. However, a quick and dirty fix may be to use a module like Ventrian's Child Links? However, it wouldn't be displayed 'inside' the menu but as a separate module. Child Links by Ventrian
