title: Reduce ASP.NET menu control size (without 3rd party libraries)
body: <p>I have a fairly simple ASP.NET 2.0 menu control using a sitemap file and security trimmings.  There are only 21 menu options, but the results HTML of the menu is a whopping 14k.  The site is hosted on our company's intranet and must be serverd to people worldwide on limited bandwidth, so I'd like to reduce the size of the menus.</p>
  
  <p>What is the best way to do this?  Does anybody have a good reference?  I have the following constraints:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>The solution must not reference any 3rd part DLL files (getting approval would be a nightmare)</li>
  <li>Has to work with IE 6</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>CSS and JavaScript are fine, as long as they work with IE 6.</p>
