Is there any plans to do something similar with other components.. For example I have a customer who would like to change the "Chrome" of all webparts to have rounded corners etc. The best way to do this in my mind is to modify the WebPartZone object. However, it is sealed.

I noticed a bug in the MossMenu code you provided: when you select as subsite in the navigation, it doesn't set the menu item as selected.

here's how I fixed this :

if (SPContext.Current.ListItemServerRelativeUrl.ToLower() == e.Item.NavigateUrl.ToLower()){

e.Item.Selected = true;}

Hope it helps

We have tried to implement this code to resolve the "Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site, Operation aborted" by creating the assembly from the c# code and referencing this code from the masterpage. Otherwise, we have not made any changes. The issue was not resolved using the code. Did we miss something? Are there other known ways to resolve or workaround this issue?

Any comments would be helpful! Thanks

Our customer wanted us to use graphics instead of text for menu items. Since most of this stuff is brand new, I was left to my own devices and came up with this customization of MossMenu. Thought I would throw it out here for conversation, since there seemed to be no other way to set the ImageURL property for each top-level menu item in MOSS and the database did not seem to have a field in which to store one for the menu. I added the following code to the end of the OnPreRender() event:

// BEGIN CODE SNIPPET

try

{

bool listOk = false;

SPWeb mySite = SPContext.Current.Site.RootWeb;

SPList lst = null;

try

{

lst = mySite.Lists["Site Collection Images"];

listOk = true;

}

catch

{

// (do nothing)

}

if (listOk == true)

{

SPQuery qry = new SPQuery();

qry.Query = "<Where><BeginsWith><FieldRef Name=\"Title\"/><Value Type=\"Text\">nav_</Value></BeginsWith></Where>";

SPListItemCollection myItems = lst.GetItems(qry);

string imgname = "";

for (int ix = 0; ix < this.Items.Count; ix++)

{

imgname = "nav_" + this.Items[ix].Text.Replace(" ", "").ToLower();

foreach (SPListItem item in myItems)

{

if (item["Title"].ToString() == imgname)

{

this.Items[ix].ImageUrl = @"/SiteCollectionImages/" + imgname + ".jpg";

this.Items[ix].Text = "";

break;

}

imgname = "";

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

if (this.Items.Count >=1)

this.Items[0].Text = "Menu error: " + ex.Message;

}

// END CODE SNIPPET

Deployed MossMenu to the GAC, made a custom version of master.default for our site collection that consumed MossMenu, and assigned NEWMSTR.default to the top-level site and all sub-sites. After that, uploaded menu graphics to the Site Collection Images document library, approved all of them, and edited each one's Title property to be nav_ plus the text of the menu item (for example, nav_contactus for a Contact Us site). (The filename of the graphic is unimportant as long as it ends in .jpg, since the Title is a separate property of the graphic in the Site Collection Images library, so there is independence from the file system naming conventions for the sites.) New sites will automatically be assigned a graphic when the content person uploads one, approves it, and sets its Title property appropriately.

It is assumed that the MossMenu's scope is that of the site collection and that all localized versions of the graphics are stored there, which may or may not be the case.

Hector,

have you also ran into the "Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site, Operation aborted" bug? Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Andries,

No I have not seen it happen. I have just tested it. We are using IE 7. Mine is 7.0.5730.11. I am not sure if the IE version matters. To learn more about it, I walked through it. In the MossMenu C# code, a call is made in OnPreRender() to Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript() after calling base.OnPreRender(), which inserts a JavaScript code fragment, which was present in the source of the page. Looking at the JavaScript code, it looks as though it is adding a 50 millisecond delay with a call of overrideMenu_HoverStatic() in CORE.JS. There is an amazing amount of stuff going on in here to make things happen throughout, but maybe you could modify and put an alert() call in CORE.JS to see if the override function is being called, All that said, I am not close to the authors of this code so there might be other ways to look at this.

Mike

Hi,I am facing the same issue of "Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site, Operation aborted" but when I googled , I found that if there's somejavascript code written within HTML then this occurs...

But I did not find anything in my code.

Now I got a solution to this issue i.e by replacing RegisterStartupScript by RegisterClientScriptBlock..But this leads to some other minute issue...Can someone please suggest me if I am going the right way?
