.net SiteMap menu display

I have a menu for my site, using a sitemap file and role provider to generate the links based on role.

When the menu was created manually, the links looked like this:

Link1 | Link2 | Link3 | etc...

now its on a hover type of menu which is what i don't want:

Link1
  |___ Link2___Link3
  |___ Link4

How can I get it to look as the first type?

My first time using sitemap for menu navigation so not too sure how to create the <siteMapNodes>

I assume its due to this:

<siteMapNode url="~/Reporting.aspx" title="Reporting" description="" roles="MyRole" > <siteMapNode url="~/Auditing.aspx" title="Auditing" description="" roles="MyRole"/> <siteMapNode url="~/TeamManager.aspx" title="Team Manager" description="" roles="MyRole"/> </siteMapNode>

I would also suggest to use a jQuery plugin to build up the navigation from the Site collection if you are using menu-kind structure.

A sitemap will nest items if the XML in the sitemap code is nested.

The following will show:
Link1 | Link2 | Link3

    <siteMapNode url="Link1Url" title="Link1" />
    <siteMapNode url="Link2Url" title="Link2" />
    <siteMapNode url="Link3Url" title="Link3" />

The following will show:
Link1
   |-Link2
   |-Link3

    <siteMapNode url="Link1Url" title="Link1">
        <siteMapNode url="Link2Url" title="Link2" />
        <siteMapNode url="Link3Url" title="Link3" />
    </siteMapNode>

Your full Web.sitemap will look something like the following:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" enableLocalization="true" >
        <siteMapNode url="~/" title="Home">
            <siteMapNode url="Link1Url" title="Link1" />
            <siteMapNode url="Link2Url" title="Link2" />
            <siteMapNode url="Link3Url" title="Link3" />
        </siteMapNode>
    </siteMap>
