Retain state of controls on menu item click (Menu control)
I have a project setup as Master-Content pages. I have also included a Menu control in the master page. I have some textboxes and dropdownlists in content pages.

How can I retain the values of controls (textboxes, dropdownl...

Button image for each top level menu item
For the subpage items I am just going to use background images/styles, but for the top level menu items, I have a button for each one.

The pop out panels should not be transparent and they should appear on top of the content page (unless the z-index of your controls are greater than 1). Please could you pr...
