    I'm new to cs and asp.net ...

    I have a site I created from the SB starter kit.  As I'm working my way through it, I have something simple I just can't find.

    When browsing the site, there are rounded-corner images displayed at each end of the horizontal menu.  These appear to be corp_blue_nav_tl.gif and corp_blue_nav_tr.gif from the images directory.  The problem is that I can't find a single reference to these images, or any other rounded-corner images anywhere in the code or css files that are part of the solution.

    This is really hampering my ability to understand how this is put together, so I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how these are referenced :-)

    I have not seen the SB starter kit but I would guess the menu is created in the masterpage. Have a look at the masterpage.

    Come back grep - all is forgiven!

    Use Windows Explorer to search for the file names within the source for the site.

    After digging around some, I've discovered that the asmswer is simple - the files are NOT referenced anywhere.

    Then how do they get on the Web Page? 

     Just curious ....

    They don't.  There is some other trick used to get the rounded corners that I haven't been able to figure out yet.  Someone in another thread pointed someone else to a website that has links to a bejillion different ways to do it. 

     I didn't bother going through the exercise as my question was answered.  When I need to do rounded corners, I'll spend the time on it.

    It is in the CSS file css-content.css under App_Themes\Standard folder.

     #nav-main {

    background:#FB83BA url(../../images/bg-nav.png) no-repeat;

    margin-left:auto;

    margin-right:auto;

    width:740px;

    padding:.8em 0 1em 20px;

    position:relative;

    font-weight:bold;

    }

    #nav-main div {

    background:#4b6cb5 url(../../images/bg-nav-side.png) top right no-repeat;

    width:25%;

    _width:25.5%;

    position:absolute;

    top:0;

    right:0;

    padding:.8em 0 1em 0;

    }
