Menu Control used on a MasterPage

Hello,

I am using an ASP Menu Control as a user control (.ascx file) on a
Master Page. I am having problems with the drop down menus rendering
properly in IE 7.

I found multiple articles describing this problem and how to fix it
(http://weblogs.asp.net/dannychen/archive/2005/12/16/433332.aspx) but
it does not entirely apply to me.

The problem lies in migrating from VS2003 to VS2005 (which did NOT
happen for this website) and an unneeded line in the Web.Config file
(which i do not have, therefore i cannot delete)

I tried the alternate method described in the article (adding an ID to
the master page) which does not work.

The menu user control works properly on a normal page with no master
page.

This is driving me insane and any help would be appreciated!!!!

Thanks!
Matt

Hi Matt

I'm developing a web site at the moment where, like you, I have a Web
User Control containing a Menu Control which is attached to a Master
page. As it happens I am not having any problems with it.

I'd like to help but could you be more specific about the nature of
problem? In what way does it not render properly?

Also are you using themes? (they can wreak havoc if not set up
properly and could well cause objects to be invisible).
