Menu based on web.sitemap is vertical, but horizontal is desired

[randysmid]

Hi all,
I've got a menu control placed on a master page, and this menu control is based on an XML file (web.sitemap). In spite of setting the menu control to horizontal, it still continues to appear vertical. Here is what the web.sitemap looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<siteMap xmlns="

http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0"

>

<siteMapNode url="" title="Menu" description="">
<siteMapNode url="AddJob.aspx" title="Add Job" description="" />
<siteMapNode url="showJob.aspx" title="Show Job" description="" />
<siteMapNode url="showAllJobs.aspx" title="Show All Jobs" description="" />
<siteMapNode url="showUnacceptedJobs.aspx" title="Show Unaccepted Jobs" description="" />
<siteMapNode url="getJobStepData.aspx" title="Get Job Step" description="" />
<siteMapNode url="listUncompletedDesignJobSteps.aspx" title="List Uncompleted Design Steps" description="" />
<siteMapNode title="Parent">
<siteMapNode title="child1" url="c1.aspx"/>
<siteMapNode title="child2" url="c2.aspx"/>

</siteMapNode>
</siteMapNode>

</siteMap>

Any suggestions on how to get this menu to appear horizontal, instead of vertical?

TIA, Randy

You can make its Orientation to Horizontal.

Sharing the best from my side...

You mentioned in your post that you had tried to set it to Horizontal. Can you paste an example of this menu?

Hi,
Does anyone know how to post an image into my message?
TIA, Randy

Hi,
Well, I can't place an image inside without having a web site someplace to host it. In any event, this is what it looks like:

Menu >
Add Job
Show Job
Show All Jobs
Show Unaccepted Jobs
Get Job Step
List Uncompleted Design Steps
Parent > child1
child2

As I explained earlier, the ORIENTATION property is ALREADY set to Horizontal, but it doesn't work. If you scroll up to my 18 Oct post, you'll see the XML that generates this sitemap.

Here is the HTML code for the MasterPage menu control:
<asp:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server" Orientation="Horizontal" DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSource1" Width="70px" BackColor="#F7F6F3" DynamicHorizontalOffset="2" Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Size="0.8em" ForeColor="#7C6F57" StaticSubMenuIndent="10px" >
<StaticMenuItemStyle HorizontalPadding="5px" VerticalPadding="2px" />
<DynamicHoverStyle BackColor="#7C6F57" ForeColor="White" />
<DynamicMenuStyle BackColor="#F7F6F3" />
<StaticSelectedStyle BackColor="#5D7B9D" />
<DynamicSelectedStyle BackColor="#5D7B9D" />
<DynamicMenuItemStyle HorizontalPadding="5px" VerticalPadding="2px" />
<StaticHoverStyle BackColor="#7C6F57" ForeColor="White" />
</asp:Menu>

TIA, Randy
