VB.Net Horisontal Menu

Dear Sir/Madam

I'm an old dog of VB 6.0. I've mastered the new tricks of .Net Form-based
programming rather OK. I now need to focus on web development.

My Web pages need not be as glamerous as those seen on most sites, since
even my web development is for operational purposes (Business). I devised a
standard layout with the main menu at left and horisontal menus per subystem
to navigate to the forms of each subsystem. Each of these horisontal
sub-menus needs be a WebUserControl that I'll drag onto each form of that
subsystem. Thus a new form in the subsystem will only cause a change in one
control and the addition of the new form. The sub-menus needs only to be
simple navigational structures. Like hyperlinks, that displays the form
associated with that choice.

I've worked a walk through called: Creating a Web User Control. This walk
through does exactly what I want, but not the way I want to do it. It returns
the index of the selection. This index needs be interpreted by the calling
form and then the calling form can re-direct to the form of choice. This
defies my plan of change once affect many.

I have heard about J-script methods, DHTML menus etc. Can you please point
me in a direction on how to create a menu that will do the following:

Menu:
Member|Branch|Person

Show:
wfmMemMem.aspx|wfmMemBrn.aspx|wfmMemPsn.aspx

Much Thanks

Gleeman,

There is no "menu" control of a Webpage. Going the way from a DHTML
javascript menu is not impossible, however needs a lot of knowledge from
javascript, VBNet and servercontrols (viewstate).

In your situation I would just create three serverside buttons beside each
other.

This is nothing strange because a button is in fact often used in webpages
to emulate menu's (that as well with javascript).

You have as well nice serverside "imagebuttons" for webpages when you want
that.

I hope this helps?

This is a great plan and I'll do it like this for the current (First) web
project that I'm working on. This is for 15 users on an intranet.

In future I will have more and more exposure with more and more concurrent
users. At a point the server will be drawn to death.

I need to slowly increase the client side execution... I'm intersted in
J-script and VB-script with the whole HTML enivronment. How do I go about
learning that stuff in order to use the processing provided in the browser?
How much of this is covered by Microsoft help and MSDN? Where do I go to find
this in the Microsoft online helps?

Much Thanks
