We decided to implement the EO menu in MOSS 2007. We were able to bind the control to the topSiteMap dataprovider. I attempted to make the sub menu horizontal but the Orientation doesn't seem to have an affect.

How can we get the submenus horizontal? I have pasted a sample of the code below for your review.

Thanks for your time,
Shannon




<eo:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server" ControlSkinID="None" Width="300px" DataSourceID="topSiteMap" >
<LookItems>

<eo:MenuItem ItemID="_TopGroup">
<SubMenu Width="500" Orientation="Horizontal" Style-CssText="border-bottom-style:none;border-left-style:none;border-right-style:none;border-top-style:none;font-size:Medium;"></SubMenu>
</eo:MenuItem>

</eo:Menu>

Hi Shannon,

Orientation is not copied from the look item. So you can set it directly on the menu:

Code: HTML/ASPX
<eo:Menu id="Menu1" runat="server" Width="300px">
    <TopGroup Orientation="Vertical">
    </TopGroup>
</eo:Menu>


Thanks
Shannon

I must be missing something. I can not get it to go horizontal. Is there a way I can email you a screen shots?

Hi Shannon,

A screenshot actually won't help us too much. A menu by default is Horizontal, so if it is rendered as Vertical, most likely you did something somewhere. :)

In order to find it out, you can create a blank page and then do:

Code: C#
Menu1.DataSource = new string[]{"abc", "def"};
Menu1.DataBind();


You should get a horizontal menu. Once you get that working, you can comparing with your code and look for the difference.

Thanks
