ASP.Net Menu Control background image with CssClass

Hi,
Trying to place a backround image for StaticMenuItemStyle, StaticHoverStyle & StaticSelectedStyle by using the CssClass property.

When I specify a backround image in a CssClass it shows up but it appears as if the text of the menu item inherits this backround property as well. So I end up with one backround image for the menuitem box and a squashed version of the backround image behind the text.

All you have to do is set the background of the element containing the text to "none".  If you give some sample code, then I might be able to help more.

Below are the classes but these apply to the menubox itself I do not know what the font element is called in CSS with respect to the ASP.Net menu control.


.menuclass
{
    border-top:solid 0px black;
    border-right:solid 1px #b1b1b1;
    border-left: solid 0px white;
    border-bottom:solid 0px white;
    font-family:Verdana;
    font-size:smaller;
    background-image:url('/images/menugloss.gif');
    font-weight:bold;
}
.menuitemselected
{
    border-top:solid 0px black;
    border-right:solid 1px #b1b1b1;
    border-left: solid 0px white;
    border-bottom:solid 0px white;
    font-family:Verdana;
    font-size:smaller;
    background-image:url('/images/menuwhitegloss.gif');
    font-weight:bold;
}
.menuitemhover
{
    border-top:solid 0px black;
    border-right:solid 1px #b1b1b1;
    border-left: solid 0px white;
    border-bottom:solid 0px white;
    font-family:Verdana;
    font-size:smaller;
    background-image:url('/images/menuhoverover.gif');
    font-weight:bold;
}
Can you do a "view source" on your web page and copy and paste the generated html for your menu here?

Hi,

Thanks for that. Yeah I see how messy and bloted it is and its not good for search engine bots either. Do you have any suggestions aside form coding css by hand for any 3rd party visual studio menu plug-ins?
I found a visual studio plug in that makes the asp.net menu control use css.

ASP.NET 2.0 CSS Friendly Control Adapters
http://www.asp.net/cssadapters

That's very interesting... I haven't seen those Control Adapters before.  I'll have to look into them some more.  

As long as they don't require javascript to function correctly, then that's probably a pretty good solution.  The markup that it generates looks 100x's cleaner than the default ASP.Net menu control.

However, coding the html and css by hand is always a better solution than any ASP.Net control that you can find.  If you do it right, it will be cleaner and a lot more stable in multiple browsers.  Also, you'll learn a lot more when you code by hand.

Here are some good links to take a look at for creating CSS menus by hand...
