Menu Control - Issue with adding Textbox with StaticItemTemplate

[nikdiva]

I added a textbox and button control to my menu control that is being populated with item from my database. I can't figure out why there is extra space being added to the top of that part of the menu. Can anyone help with this one? I've attached a link to a screenshot of the menu.

this is a CSS issue not an ASP.NET issue.
You'd be better off posting here: forum215

Also, look into using FireFox and install the FireBug plug in. With that, you can view the HTML,CSS, js ...etc of the page

Thanks, that put me on the right path....

I fixed it by making putting the textbox and button control within it's own list item and adjusting the <li> spacing in the stylesheet.

<StaticItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblItem" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Text") %>' />
<%-- Display textbox only for the Search Menu item --%>
<li><asp:TextBox ID="txtSearch" runat="server" Visible='<%# (Eval("Text") = "Search")%>' />
<asp:Button ID="btnSearch" Width="20px" Visible='<%# (Eval("Text") = "Search")%>' runat="server"/></li>
</StaticItemTemplate>
