Hello all,

I am having trouble with the SiteMenu.  I defined it to be a Horizonal menu (where it goes across the page and menus drop down from the top level), however it does not seem to be working at all.  It just stays as Vertical.  Below is my code if it would help any of you.

<portal:SiteMenu ID="siteMenu" runat="server" ShowMenu="true" ShowTreeView="false" TopLevelOnly="false" Direction="Horizontal" />

Hi Joe,

Thanks for your help so far.  I checked my CSS and I still can't figure how to have a horizontal menu with subs drop down.  Any further advice?

Part of it also has to do with where in the layout.master file the SiteMenu is located. If you started with a skin that had a vertical menu its typically in the left panel whereas skins that use a horizontal menu have it above the 3 panels.

My opinion is if you want to design a custom skin with a horizontal menu, start with an existing skin that has a horizontal menu like mitchinson-earthy to make it easier. Colors are easy to change layout changes require more understanding of css, so I recommend start with a skin that has the closest layout and menu structure to what you want to achieve, copy the skin, rnema it and then hack away on the css little by little to make it look how you want.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Sorry for so many questions guys, but I do have one more question.

I've been playing with the CSS trying to get the menu items to be fluid width.  Basically, what I want is my page is 930px wide.  I'd like the menu to take up the entire 930px and not have leftover on the right side.  Does that make sense?  And if so, could you maybe point me in the right direction?

Thanks for your help so far!

Matt
