ASP.NET Menu Parent Menu Item Highlighting on Hover when Flyouts are enabled

Question

I have a ASP.Net Menu Control with three levels and flyouts enabled. I want to highlight the parent items (right upto the top level parent) whenever a user hovers over the menu items.

I do not want to use a client side solution as described here: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/webforms/AspMenuParentHighlighting.aspx

Is there an elegant server side solution?

Kind regards.

Answer 1

The only server side solution I can think of would be to set the client side solution on page load.

Is there a reason that you would want to build this server side rather than client side? Because forcing an event like this to occur server side is, by definition, rather inelegant.
