A custom asp.net control its the way to go, you can render out what you like so you can develop a more light weight and faster menu (http://www.westrac.com.au), or any other fancy menu you want.
I'm not a big fan of the MOSS ootb top drop down menu, it renders ugly html and significantly increases page size, so replacing the standard menus with your own custom ones is a sure fire way to make a MOSS site run faster. Here's some code to investigate : SiteMapDataSource http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.sitemapdatasource.aspx SiteMapDataSource.SiteMapProvider = "GlobalNavSiteMapProvider" http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.sitemapprovider.aspx SiteMapNode http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.sitemapnode.aspx SitemapDataSource.Provider.RootNode SiteMapNode.ChildNodes SiteMapNode.Title SiteMapNode.Url ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Aaron Saikovski [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 23 January 2008 8:05 AM To: listserver@ozMOSS.com Subject: [OzMOSS] second level navigation menus in MOSS Hi All, We have a client who wants second level navigational menus created. (See attached image) Basically we have the top level navigation which contains Home, Products and services etc. Then when you select one of the Top level sites, It has to display a second level navigation menu showing all their second level sites and not the standard drop down menus we all have come to love. I was thinking of writing a asp.net type of control to do this but thought I would reach out to the community before embarking on this. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
