    Server Controls that work in all browsers

    This is another post just asking the question:  Do any of you out there know of any server controls that are either menus or tab controls that work in all browsers?  I could write them myself, but it would take a bit of time.  We'd rather just purchase them if someone has made them.  Post a comment if you have any recommendations...thanks!  :)

    We wrote our own. The problem with most of the fancy menuing controls I have seen is that they are not geared towards SEO. Spiders can't usually read js menus or menus that are written with some fancy document.write magic.

    You should be careful if you care about SEO at all.

    I also wrote my own, but I'm in the "Postback is evil" and "I don't use visual designers" crowd, which limits marketability.
