Menu control

That is really excellent news. In that case, I'll stop ferreting at this, keep the current menu for now, and wait until .net 4 is adopted by my web host.

Thanks for the information.

Yes, that's certainly good news. You may want to take a look here:

Before ASP.NET 4, the Menu control rendered a series of HTML tables. This made it more difficult to apply CSS styles outside of setting inline properties and was also not compliant with accessibility standards.
In ASP.NET 4, the control now renders HTML using semantic markup that consists of an unordered list and list elements. The following example shows markup in an ASP.NET page for the Menu control.

Code:

<asp:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server"> 
  <Items> <asp:MenuItem Text="Home" Value="Home" /> 
    <asp:MenuItem Text="About" Value="About" /> 
  </Items> 
</asp:Menu>

When the page renders, the control produces the following HTML (the onclick code has been omitted for clarity):

Code:

<div id="Menu1"> 
  <ul> 
    <li><a href="#" onclick="...">Home</a></li> 
    <li><a href="#" onclick="...">About</a></li> 
  </ul> 
</div> 
<script type="text/javascript"> 
  new Sys.WebForms.Menu('Menu1'); 
</script>
