Hello

the problem is with hovring over the menu.
when i'm hovering the display is the title of the item instad of the sub items.
i've double checked and re-did the code. i've also checked the source code on this chapter and it looks ok.

i'm using

thank you
Dvir

Code:

 <div id="MenuWrapper":>
       <asp:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSource1" 
         Orientation="Horizontal" StaticEnableDefaultPopOutImage="False" 
         StaticPopOutImageTextFormatString=" ">
         <StaticMenuItemStyle ItemSpacing="10px" />    
       </asp:Menu>
       <asp:SiteMapDataSource ID="SiteMapDataSource1" runat="server" 
         ShowStartingNode="False" />

Hi there,

Do you see the same issue on the Planet Wrox site at: http://aspnet35.planetwrox.com/

If not, can you post the code for the sitemap.xml file?

Cheers,

Imar

i'm not having the problem in the site

here is the code for the site map

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" >

/*the rest is ok and according to the book and source file */

those may also help

source code in browser - hidding sub item (if i understand the book right)

Code:


</style>

<link href="App_Themes/Monochrome/Monochrome.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" /><style type="text/css">

	.ctl00_Menu1_0 { background-color:white;visibility:hidden;display:none;position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px; }

	.ctl00_Menu1_1 { text-decoration:none; }

	.ctl00_Menu1_2 {  }

	.ctl00_Menu1_3 {  }

	.ctl00_Menu1_4 {  }



</style></head>

also, if i'm understaing correctly, a JavaScript code suppoed to appear in the HTML code of the Source in the browser.
i can't find it. can this be the problem?

Can you post it nontheless?

Otherwise, it's a bit hard to reproduce...

Code:

 
<div id="MenuWrapper":>

Also, what's that funky colon doing there?

Ah, I see. I can reproduce this in Chrome.

Maybe you're running into the same issue as described here? http://p2p.wrox.com/book-beginning-asp-net-3-5-c-vb-book-isbn-978-0-470-18759-3/80175-chapter-7-page-249-try-out.html

Does the menu look good on other browsers?

it is ok on FireFox

thank you

That may confirm it's the same issue and that patching your server might do the trick.

Cheers,
