asp:Menu Server Control - Cross Browser Compatibility (Safari/Chrome)

Cross browser compatibility struggle is getting upsetting while working with asp:Menu Server Control. Anyhow, It was not rendering/working well with Safari and Chrome. 

A bit of googling... and I have a solution for this.

I have added below small piece of code snippet in my MasterPage's Page_Load event

        if (Request.UserAgent.IndexOf("AppleWebKit") > 0)
        {
            Request.Browser.Adapters.Clear();
        }

This will tell asp.net not to use an adapter when rendering the menu control. This will work for both Safari and chrome as well because they both use webkit which is how asp.net identifies Safari1Plus.
