Can menu items open new windows?

[ceolino]

Hi all,
how can I use menu object to open a new window instead of postback to
the same page where the menu is? What I'd like to do is like invoking
"window.ope n()" (javascript) from a menu item.

Thanks in advance

You can do that by setting the NavigateUrl property to a javascript function
that opens the new window
<asp:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server">

<Items>

<asp:MenuItem Text="Javascrip t Menu" Value="Javascri pt Menu"
NavigateUrl="ja vascript:openWi n();" Target="_self"> </asp:MenuItem>

</Items>

</asp:Menu>

<script language=javasc ript>

function openWin()

{

window.open('De fault.aspx');

}

</script>

hope this helps

Can you not just set the target to _blank?

<asp:MenuItem Text="Test Menu" Value="Test Menu"
NavigateUrl="So mePage.aspx" Target="_blank" ></asp:MenuItem>
