Master Page issue

Question

User1215529056 posted

I had a site on an XP box for our intranet. Very basic.

On the materpage I have this code for a small menu.

When I moved it to Windows 7 Pro machine from XP the master page menu background became transparent.

In debug in VS 2015 it looks good. I run dev on the actual server.

I have images but not sure how to upload into this thread.

I tested in Firefox, Chrome and IE and the new transparency is the same in all

Any suggestions?

Here's the code

<asp:Menu ID="MasterMenu" runat="server" BackColor="#FFFBD6"
DataSourceID="SiteMapDS" DynamicHorizontalOffset="2"
Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Size="0.8em" ForeColor="#990000" Height="19px"
StaticSubMenuIndent="10px" StaticDisplayLevels="3" >
<StaticSelectedStyle BackColor="#FFCC66" />
<StaticMenuItemStyle HorizontalPadding="5px" VerticalPadding="2px" />
<DynamicHoverStyle BackColor="#990000" ForeColor="White" />
<DynamicMenuStyle BackColor="#FFFBD6" />
<DynamicSelectedStyle BackColor="#FFCC66" />
<DynamicMenuItemStyle HorizontalPadding="5px" VerticalPadding="2px" />
<StaticHoverStyle BackColor="#990000" ForeColor="White" BorderStyle="Solid" />
</asp:Menu>

From any browser

When running inside VS 2015

To try to resolve the issue should I change the Web.sitemap file from this format

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" >
<siteMapNode url="Default.aspx" title="Home" description="Home" >
<siteMapNode url="http://10.0.0.231/wiki/projects" title="Neyenesch Wikis" description="9ish Wiki" />
<siteMapNode url="Documents.aspx" title="Documents" description="9ish Documents" />
<siteMapNode url="ISOProcedures.aspx" title="FSC Procedures" description="ISO/FSC Procedures" >

<siteMapNode url="VendorsShow.aspx" title="Vendors" description="Vendors" >
<siteMapNode url="VendorAdd.aspx" title="Add Vendor" description="Add Vendor" /></siteMapNode>
<siteMapNode url="PhoneList.aspx" title="Cell Phone / Ext. List" description="Cell Phone / Ext. List" />

<siteMapNode url="http://10.0.0.231/wiki/projects/nexpressjobcalendar/calendar" title="NexPress Calendar"></siteMapNode>
<siteMapNode url="~\docs\Job_List.pdf" title="Prep Job List" description="Prep Job List"></siteMapNode>
<siteMapNode url="JobLookUp.aspx" title="Job Process Lookup" description="Job Process Lookup"></siteMapNode>

</siteMapNode>
</siteMap>

to this format:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Menus>
    <Menu Url="~/Home.aspx" Text="Home" Value="Home Page" />
    <Menu Url="javascript:;" Text="Services" Value="Services Page">
        <SubMenu Url ="~/Consulting.aspx" Text="Consulting" Value="Consulting Page"></SubMenu>
        <SubMenu Url ="~/Outsourcing.aspx" Text="Outsourcing" Value="Outsourcing Page"></SubMenu>
    </Menu>
    <Menu Url="~/About.aspx" Text="About" Value="About Us Page" />
    <Menu Url="~/Contact.aspx" Text="Contact" Value="Contact Us Page" />
</Menus>

Hi  RuthlessRoth,
 

I tried running your code and found that the background color can be set directly through the style property <StaticMenuItemStyle> of the Menu control.

 

The Result:

 
Best Regard,
