I wanted to make some customizations so I used the asp menu and hooked it up to the quick lanuch data source. However, I can't get the static selected style to work (see below). Any ideas? here is the website address www.aspiranet.org

Thanks,

Kevin

<asp:Menu runat="server" id="Menu1" DataSourceID="QuickLaunchSiteMap" Orientation="Horizontal" StaticEnableDefaultPopOutImage="False" Width="100%">
        <StaticMenuItemStyle CssClass="Aspiranet-TopNav" HorizontalPadding="5px" />
        <DynamicHoverStyle Font-Underline="False" BackColor="#FFE499" ForeColor="#333333" BorderColor="#FFE499" />
        <DynamicMenuStyle BackColor="#E2F1FA" CssClass="Aspiranet-TopNavDynamic" BorderStyle="Outset" BorderColor="Silver" BorderWidth="1px" />
        <DynamicSelectedStyle Font-Bold="False" CssClass="ms-topnav" />
        <DynamicMenuItemStyle HorizontalPadding="2px" Width="100%" CssClass="Aspiranet-TopNavDynamic" VerticalPadding="2px" ItemSpacing="2px" />
        <StaticHoverStyle Font-Italic="False" Font-Bold="False" BackColor="#E2F1FA" ForeColor="#4FB6D4" />
        <StaticSelectedStyle BackColor="#E2F1FA" BorderColor="#E2F1FA" BorderWidth="1px" BorderStyle="Solid" ForeColor="#4FB6D4" />
       </asp:Menu>

Hi, the first thing is ask you do you want do a master page that validate the w3c?, there are lots of page with information or may be you want change the style of the aspmenu?.

Thanks for the reply! I'm new to working with styles so I don't really know how to answer your question. I just want the background of the selected item on the static menu to be light blue (#E2F1FA) rather than dark blue (#4FB6D4). I want visitors to be able to tell where they are in the site by this color change. I will do this through any means you suggest

Hi, you can download sharepoint skinner for take a look of what css contain the styles that you want change (I think core.css but i don't sure). Also you must do a component (user control or web part) in which you can change the color, for me I would do a user control that i would introduce in the master page because if you do a web part this would go to the page layout, and this is a comment I don't like this component in the layout page but it's only a idea. Then I would do 2 css with the diferents colors and change the css associated with the user when he (user) would click in the component.

 Regards.
