title: How To: Manupilate SharePoint:AspMenu control (Style-wise)
body: <p>What I want to do is to split-up the globalnavigation bar on the sharepoint 2010 so I can control what menu-items should be floated to the left or right of the bar.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to do this without a complete customized version of it, so I only have to edit the current one. Or do I actually have to make a complete new one?</p>
  
  <p>What I have tried so far is just copying all of the UL > LI's there's used to display the menu-items like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="s4-tn"&gt;
      &lt;div class="menu horizontal menu-horizontal"&gt;
          &lt;ul class="static"&gt;
              &lt;li class="static dynamic-children"&gt;
                  &lt;a href="#" CssClass="static dynamic-children menu-item"&gt;
                      &lt;span class="additional-background"&gt;
                          &lt;span class="menu-item-text"&gt;Custom Dropdown&lt;/span&gt;
                      &lt;/span&gt;
                  &lt;/a&gt;
                  &lt;ul class="dynamic"&gt;
                      &lt;li class="dynamic"&gt;
                          &lt;a href="#" class="dynamic menu-item"&gt;
                              &lt;span class="additional-background"&gt;
                                  &lt;span class="menu-item-text"&gt;Test subsite&lt;/span&gt;
                              &lt;/span&gt;
                          &lt;/a&gt;
                      &lt;/li&gt;
                  &lt;/ul&gt;
              &lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;/ul&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it doesn't seem to trigger the dropdown functionality. Might just be a naive attempt.</p>
  
  <p>Any links to guides or tutorials about this subject would be a great help.</p>
