change ascx menu link color 1

[occas]

i have webpages where i use an ascx control page for the menu. it is nothing more than a table with x amount of rows with hyperlinks.

i would like to be able to change the color of the selected hyperlink, depending upon which one is selected.
i can't find out how to have any control over those hyperlinks that are in the ascx page when it is called by whatever page is using it.

Whether you dynamicaly load the control on each page through the code or have it embedded, you should be able to find an appropriate hyperlink in the control and set it's color.

[b]user control html:[/b]
<asp:HyperLink ID=&quot;hl1&quot; Runat=server NavigateUrl=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]www.msn.com&quot;[/URL] Text=&quot;MSN&quot; />
<br>
<asp:HyperLink ID=&quot;hl2&quot; Runat=server NavigateUrl=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]www.monster.com&quot;[/URL] Text=&quot;Monster&quot; />

[b]container page html:[/b]
<asp:PlaceHolder ID=&quot;plControl&quot; Runat=server />
[b]container page code behind:[/b]
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
  Control myMenu = Page.LoadControl(&quot;Menu.ascx&quot;);
  HyperLink firstLink = (HyperLink)myMenu.FindControl(&quot;hl1&quot;);
  HyperLink secondLink = (HyperLink)myMenu.FindControl(&quot;hl2&quot;);

  firstLink.ForeColor = Color.Green;
  secondLink.ForeColor = Color.Red;

  plControl.Controls.Add(myMenu);
}
