Question

I am using CssClass to change the background image and color of my Menu control in Asp.net. Am using the menu in my MasterPage.

CSS

.mystyle
{
   color:Red ;
   font-size: medium;
   background-image: url('Images/test22.png');
   border-color:Blue;
}

And my Menu is here:

XML

<asp:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server" CssClass="mystyle"  
    DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSourceMain" >
    <StaticSelectedStyle  CssClass="mystyle"  />
    <StaticMenuItemStyle  CssClass="mystyle" />
    <DynamicHoverStyle CssClass="mystyle" />
    <DynamicMenuStyle CssClass="mystyle" />
    <DynamicItemTemplate >
        <%# Eval("Text") %>
    </DynamicItemTemplate>
    <DynamicSelectedStyle  CssClass="mystyle"  />
    <DynamicMenuItemStyle  CssClass="mystyle" />
    <StaticHoverStyle CssClass="mystyle" />
</asp:Menu>

The problem is when I run for the 1st time, it shows background image. Whenever I refresh the page(a click or something), the background images goes off. It start displaying without any background image. I search for many links but no solution.
