Hey, I'm pretty new to DNN, so please forgive my learning curve.
Does anybody know if it's possible to use an unordered list with the DNN Garden mega menu? My company wants a mega menu, and I've implemented DNN Garden's version, but our web designer doesn't like that it uses tables.
I've also tried Brandon Haynes' mega menu, but the top line of menu items uses spans and tables, and our designer doesn't like that.
I'm about to bang my head on the desk trying to figure out a solution. Any help is much appreciated!

I'd be interested in understanding your designer's objections.
If you look at the page source, the DNN Garden menu outputs an unordered list. It then uses jQuery to convert that list to the display that the menu renders.
If the concern is about SEO, I wouldn't worry about this because spiders will just see the list.
I haven't taken a detailed look at how the Telerik RAD menu does this, but I notice that it also produces an unordered list of links. You might want to take a look at that one, too. It's included in all editions of DotNetNuke.

Hi Adam,
I'm afraid the current mega menu template is tables only - it was intended to work similarly to the standard DNNMenu, and also using a table layout made cross-browser compatibility easier. I do have an unordered list mega menu template in the works, but it's going to be a few more weeks before it's ready.
An alternative could be to use the Superfish menu as a starting point. I believe (although I've never tried it myself) that it's possible to get a mega-menu effect by applying suitable styles to the flyout lists.
Of course, if you've got a Telerik developer license (or DNN Pro, which comes with the license) then you can also use RadMenu to get a mega menu as they've done on www.dotnetnuke.com.

Thanks very much for the responses. I'll have to ask my designer his specific objections, but I know he said he wanted the menu to be strictly divs and unordered lists as opposed to tables.
We do have DNN Pro, so I'll have to look into that. Does Telerik have mega menu capability now? The last I checked, a Mega Menu wasn't possible with Telerik. Here is a post from Telerik's forum from September 15, 2010 (
http://www.telerik.com/community/fo...dnn.aspx):
"Unfortunately, the Mega Drop-Down menu cannot be used in DNN since it uses templates and with the RadMenu DNN SkinObject you don't have control over template items. Please, accept our apologies for this limitation.
Greetings,
Peter
the Telerik team"
Thanks for your help. I think I'm on the right track.

What I know is that the new DotNetNuke.com site uses the Telerik menu and has a mega-menu. So, it does seem possible. But, I don't know the details.

It is the Telerik menu that is built into DotNetNuke these days. The details about using it are somewhat lacking. I hope to learn more about using the Telerik menu at the Day of DotNetNuke in Orlando on the 26th.
