I can't add space between the items of the menu
I have tried exactly what is described in p245 'Try It Out' example but the items simply do not move!
I even tried to enter 100px like this
Code:
<StaticMenuItemStyle ItemSpacing="100px" />
but the items remain at their original position.
I am using asp.net 4.0 and visual studio 2010 so that the menu control is rendered using css by default.

That's the root of the problem. The ItemSpacing is applied to various table elements when using the 3.5 version.
Since you're now rendering clean <ul> and <li> elements, you're more in control of the rendering, but it also means you need to write more CSS to make this work.
Cheers,
Imar

Imar,
Could you say a bit more about this? I do not recall, and cannot find in the book, where the spacing of the menu items is table driven, so to speak.

To see how it works, take a look in the HTML source of the demo site: http://aspnet35.planetwrox.com/
Search for the word Reviews and you'll see lots of tables.

Thanks.
Is there an ASP.NET 4.0 version of the web site where I can see how it is done in that version?

Thanks, smart guy.  I actually thought that http://aspnet40.planetwrox.com was intuitive following the pattern of the 3.5 page.

I completely agree.... ;--)
I just followed Microsoft's naming scheme that goes like this:
ASP.NET 2.0
ASP.NET 3.5
ASP.NET 4
Don't know why they dropped the zero on 4 point oh....
To avoid confusion, I added the aspnet40 header as well.
