Hi,

I'm trying to get a XHTML skin working and am using HouseMenu as a skin object in vertical orientation.  I want to get it to work like pretty much any vertical menu with static links (i.e. not DHTML) but I can't find a combination of settings that works.  What I need is fairly standard menu functionality I think:

1. Show all top level pages
2. Show children of current page
3. Show children of all pages on path to current page
   
4. Don't show children of other pages

HM seems to either expand the entire menu (isrecursive="True") or not display the children of the current page at all (isrecursive="False").

Does anybody know if and ow how I can get it to work with HouseMenu or recommend another menu that is XHTML compatible and will do this?

Thanks,

Rob.

It's a bit of a shame HouseMenu can't do this, I thought it was pretty standard menu functionality but I suppose it is mainly orientated towards the DHTML menu.

If I can't find something that does this (or work out a way to do it myself) it will severely restrict how much I'll be able to use DNN.

Part of my reason for posting here was the hope that someone may know of an alternative if HM couldn't achieve what I wanted but I note what you say and will refrain from future posts on third party modules.

Just to be clear.  We are not against talking about third-party modules. It is only an issue if we have to try and provide support for those modules, becasue often we do not know them, and it might keep us from supporting the core modules as well.  It's better to take support questions for third-party modules to their support site or contact the developer directly if possible.

There is a new Menu in the latest version of DotNetNuke that was just released.  I have not tried it out yet, but it is supposed to be more XHTML compliant.
