It seems to be very common that asp.net menu control is not to be properly displayed in IE8.
I have developed a website which contains a master page and placed a menucontrol in master page.
While running the project the menu is displaying in the content page,but the submenus are not
visible and a compatibility button will be displayed in IE.While turning IE8 to compatibility mode it displays the sub menu too.
But it is not a right thing because the user may not be aware of this and
he will say that the menu is not working in his browser.
This can be solved by adding the below code in the head tag of the master page.
<head>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" >
<title>
</title>
</head>
Now the menu will work fine it will display all the submenus and will navigate to the pages as required.
The ASP.NET Wiki was started by Scott Hanselman in February of 2008. The idea is that folks spend a lot of time trolling the blogs, googlinglive-searching for answers to common "How To" questions. There's piles of fantastic community-created and MSFT-created content out there, but if it's not found by a search engine and the right combination of keywords, it's often lost.
The ASP.NET Wiki articles moved to CodeProject in October 2013 and will live on, loved, protected and updated by the community.
