asp.net 2.0 menu control

Does anyone know how to make the menu control submenu's stay popped down once opened and viewing a page? What I am looking for is to have the submenu remain until a different menu heading is clicked and then have that menu stay visible. The submenus would be like sidebar menus, but in the menu control submenu. Thanks for any help, Todd [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

RE: asp.net 2.0 and safari?

Sure, if anyone would like to pay me to test and work together on their project(s) that would be great. I'm just waiting on software, so that's why I said I could help in 4 to 5 days if you're not already finished. I just assumed your deadlines would be too tight to wait for my software to arrive, and I know there are 24 hour mac labs in town where you can get this all done right away. I have definitely made the investments in software and equipment. Please no ego stroking though it will just irritate me. I prefer straight and to the point, we'll get more accomplished in less time and it is more respected. I have both Safari and IE for Mac. _____ From: padnug@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:padnug@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ben Strackany Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2007 8:35 AM To: padnug@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [padnug] asp.net 2.0 and safari? A few thoughts: - you may want to look at using the CSS Friendly control adapters for your menu controls. http://www.asp. <http://www.asp.net/CSSAdapters/Menu.aspx> net/CSSAdapters/Menu.aspx The default controls render some ugly table-heavy HTML that won't work as consistently across browsers as cleaner, standards-compliant HTML will. - Another option is to get a replacement menu control, or roll your own (miniajax.com & jQuery.com have some examples). I'm personally not a big fan of the built-in ASP.NET menu control. - you also might be able to find a friend and/or a designer who has a Mac & knows about HTML, CSS, & Safari who could help you with testing & HTML troubleshooting. I don't know if they'd do it for free, but you might not need a lot of their time (maybe 2-4 hours total spread across a few weeks?) & they might not charge that much. Or go to a coffee shop or the Mac store (as someone else suggested), & with a little ego stroking you may be able to find an expert who'd help you check out your site on a Mac for free.

The thing that seems to be the most problematic is the menu control. I also have a form that will submit emails to the client, but I am not sure if that is going to give me grief. The menu appears all messed up and most of the links don't work. The client has tested the site in Firefox on their MAC (not sure exactly what Apple computer they are using, but the problem is with the Safari browser specifically) and it works fine in Firefox. I have searched through Google and WWW.ASP.NET website forums and found a few possible fixes, but they don't seem to work. The other challenge is that I don't have an Apple computer of any kind to test my results on. I tried BrowserShots.org, but it seems to have problems generating browser shots. I looked at other peoples submissions and found other people having the same problem. Anyway, if anyone has some history with building asp.net sites and using the menu control for use in Safari, I would really appreciate hearing what has work for you.
