Hi,Imar
First thanx for writing this wonderful book. I have a problem in assigning css property for each menu items. Though its not mentioned on the book. But I need to assign css property.The website.map have following code.

<?xml version=â1.0â encoding=âutf-8â ?>
<siteMap xmlns=âhttp://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0â>
<siteMapNode url=â~/â title=âHomeâ description=âGo to the homepageâ>
<siteMapNode url=â~/Reviewsâ title=âReviewsâ
description=âReviews published on this siteâ />
<siteMapNode url=â~/Aboutâ title=âAboutâ
description=âAbout this siteâ />
</siteMapNode>
</siteMap>

What shall I do to make the home appear as red, Review-blue, About-green by assigning the individual class to home ,review& about.
Thanx for the zillion imar.

Thank you!

Unfortunately, this is not going to be easy. You can't add a CSS class to each item programmatically. You can use a work around as explained here:

Alternatively, you could jQuery to do it client side. With jQuery it's easy to address the first, second, n-th and so on element in the menu and assign a new CSS class.

Hope this helps,

No, it doesn't. It shows how to customize the main menu items.

Did you try it out?
