Sitefinity add class to navigation control template

Posted by Community Admin on 24-Jul-2012 00:00

I have a control template in my navigation widget. I am trying to display a border under the current page. In the control template I get the current node in the control template code behind and add the class to display the border.

hyperLink.Attributes.Add("class", "activePrimary");

The hyperlink is rendered with 2 classes.

<a id="ctl00_NavPrimaryTopPlaceholder_C008_ctl00_ctl00_MenuRadListView_ctrl0_MenuItemHyperLink" class="top" class="activePrimary" href="home">Home</a>

I assume Sitefinity is placing the class="top". How can I append my class after the top?

Thanks in advance.

Bill,

Dealing with multiple classes can be a pain. I found some code, a while back, that has been useful.

public static class WebHelper

public static void AddCssClass(this WebControl control, string cssClass)

List<string> classes;

if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(control.CssClass))

classes = control.CssClass.Split(new[] ' ' , StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries).ToList();

if (!classes.Contains(cssClass))

classes.Add(cssClass);

else

classes = new List<string> cssClass ;

control.CssClass = string.Join(" ", classes.ToArray());

public static void RemoveCssClass(this WebControl control, string cssClass)

List<string> classes = new List<string>();

if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(control.CssClass))

classes = control.CssClass.Split(new[] ' ' , StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries).ToList();

classes.Remove(cssClass);

control.CssClass = string.Join(" ", classes.ToArray());
