hi guys, im new to asp mainly being using php all my time but a client is looking to go the asp route so im slowly going through the ropes with it all, now a million times ive made a navigation menu in php, using a <ul> <li> route and then with this had a simple function that finds what page we are currently on and sets the active tab for that page to the current link, so it looks different so people know what page they are on,

now after discussing with the asp guys at this place the client works for, they say they like to keep all the code behind??? i sort of see what they mean by the way ive started building the site, i have my master page layed out with the templates, and ive also built a site map and linked the visual studion menu in the toolbox to this, all works fine and the current page is activated nicely and does the styling that the css tells it to,

so i bet your all wondering why im writing this as i already have in place what i want, well the trouble is this menu is created with a table and this isnt a very nice way to do this, and i would prefer to create a ul element and build the navigation like that, so i guess im asking is there a more seo friendly way of building a menu (im using visual studio 2008) and linking it with my site map so it knows the current page etc?

thanks guys

Dan
