OK solved it, the menu item has to be selected in code before it renders
that style to the element.

I have the menu working ok except for one thing. I cannot get it to apply
the selectedItemStyle class name to the menu item which has been clicked
on.

Here is some more information

a.) I have the menu in the site1.master
>
b.) I have double checked that the class name in css and class name in the
properties for the menu do match.

c.) I have tried double clicking on the menu to create an event handler
and in that handler I put e.item.selected=true, but the event never fires
when i click on the static menus .
