    Hi Igor,

    First, I think it's great that you were able to create a new web site based on the adapter kit's web site templates, and then modify them to demonstrate for yourself that you could create your own (adapted) menu. That is definitely a major step in the right direction!

    As you observed, it is generally necessary to then learn how to integrate these adapters into existing web sites in order for them to be more generally useful. Happily I wrote up instructions that are intended to tell you exactly how to accomplish that goal. Please refer to the white paper section entitled "Using These Adapters In Your Web Site" which can be found here, http://www.asp.net/cssadapters/whitepaper.aspx#SamplesUsingInYourWebSite. Follow these instructions VERY carefully and you should be OK. If, however, you run into trouble, feel free to write back here again.

    Good luck. I'm sure you'll be successful.

    Thank you VERY VERY much for your help.

    I'll read your instructions and I'll try to follow it.

    I'll notice you about my progress.

    Thanks again.

    Hi, I'm here again.

    With your help, I made a lot of progress with cssadapter. Finally, I'm be able to integrate the cssadapter menu in my personal site and make simple CHANGE to modify color or dimension of the example menu embedded.

    But... now I would like to start from the beginning to implement a simple css menu...  I'm trying to begin from zero with a simple menu without sub-menu but IT IS VERY HARD!!

    It seams that is impossible to understand which tag (ul.AspNet-Menu, ul.AspNet-Menu ul, etc) do something. I've tried to use the schema in the "white paper" example but nothings changed!

    I think that I dont undestand the logic that there is in the base... so, please can you help me to start a menu from the beginning. Just an idea on where impost the right instruction: position of the menu, hight and width of a single cell, its color and border, and then the change color for hover effect. Simple... but IMPOSSIBLE for me!!!

    Embarrassed 

     

    Than you for your patience.

    Igor
