ch7 sub menu don't display

liwenz · August 29th, 2013, 11:43 AM

I enjoy the book: beginning ASP.NET 4 and do all the TRY IT OUT.
In the chapter 7, P254-255, I try the menu, but I can't fix.

the level 1 menu display fine, Home Review, About, Login
but when I pick up Review or About, it can't display sub menu,
it only display a box. I hover the submenu, it display tips.
When I pick down the submenu, it display the content.

I have copied the Monochrome.css as P254 required.
After here, treeview, sitemapPath work well at P262 (except <Wrox:Banner)

How do I debug such css problem or let the submenu display?

I search similar answer, and I can't fix it.
like:
in Monochrome.css

Code:

.DynamicMenuStyle
{
z-index: 1000; 
}

in master

Code:

<asp:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server" CssClass="MainMenu" DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSource1" 
           Orientation="Horizontal" StaticEnableDefaultPopOutImage="False">
           <DynamicMenuStyle CssClass="DynamicMenuStyle" />

       </asp:Menu>

Now it is fine. Maybe I change the version from 3.5 to 4.0
But I hope to know why

Hi there,

Looks like you already found IE8 and the Menu which describes the problem and a fix. If it still didn't work for you, it may be that your browser wasn't recognized as a modern or uplevel browser, causing this odd behavior. Recent versions of ASP.NET fixed this, so upgrading to 4.0 may have indeed been the fix. The alternative is to create a separate .browsers file and modify the settings to have your browser recognized as up level: Menus in Chrome, Ch 7 p244-

Cheers,
