Gleeman,

There is no "menu" control of a Webpage. Going the way from a DHTML
javascript menu is not impossible, however needs a lot of knowledge from
javascript, VBNet and servercontrols (viewstate).

In your situation I would just create three serverside buttons beside each
other.

This is nothing strange because a button is in fact often used in webpages
to emulate menu's (that as well with javascript).

You have as well nice serverside "imagebuttons" for webpages when you want
that.

I hope this helps?
