I am learning how to use the Menu control in ASP.NET 2.0 So far I have been able to successfully make a SiteMap file and then have a Menu use that sitemapobject. The menu works perfectally... BUT when I try to set a callback method for the Event OnMenuItemClick ... the method is never invoked. What am I doing wrong?

}
}
Whenever a menu item is clicked... it should display write "it worked!" to the HTML document... but it never does. Am I missing something conceptual here about the order of how events and controls execute methods in ASP.NET 2.0?That should be correct. I do not see anything wrong with the code.
