StaticItemTemplate is not applied on postback Options

Hi all,

I am having a strange problem when using the ASP.NET (2.0) menu
control.
I have a menu control that gets populated in the page load. I do not
check the PostBack value because I want to rebuild the Menu Control
each page visit.

The first time the Menu is built exactly as specified in the
StaticItemTemplate, however, each pressing the postback button gives
me an un-staticitemtemplated version of the menu.

IOW on postback and rebuild of the menu, the itemtemplate (and thus
styling) is removed or not even applied.

Can anyone help???

Here is the code to reproduce:

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>

<%@ Register Src="UserControls/Menu.ascx" TagName="Menu"
TagPrefix="uc1" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://
www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<script runat="server">
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Menu1.Items.Clear();
        Menu1.Items.Add(new MenuItem("hello world1"));
        Menu1.Items.Add(new MenuItem("hello world2"));
        Menu1.Items.Add(new MenuItem("hello world3"));
        Menu1.Items.Add(new MenuItem("hello world4"));
    }

</script>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
    <title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server">
            <StaticItemTemplate>
                <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text='<%#
Eval("Text") %>' />
            </StaticItemTemplate>
        </asp:Menu>
        <asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnButton" Text="Do a postback
to rebuild the menu" />

    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>
