How do I link to external site using Menu control?5/9/2006 5:42:34 AM

0/0

I'm using a Menu control for ASP.NET and adding a menuItem for each link to my site's other pages.  Is there a way I can link to external pages like yahoo.com or google.com?  It doesn't work if I set navigateURL = "yahoo.com".  It looks like I can only enter page names in the same directory like page2.aspx or help.html.

Thanks for any help.

Try this:

<asp:Menu runat="server">

<Items>

<asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="http://www.yahoo.com" Text="Yahoo" Target="_blank"></asp:MenuItem>

</Items>

</asp:Menu>

Another question.

I now have a Menu set up on the top section of my page, with MenuItems linked to both internatl pages and external sites, but I would like to have those pages load in the same window, leaving the menus alone, so I can navigate using the menu.  Right now, the pages load in the current window and my menus are gone of course.

I know this could be done if all the links are linked to internal pages.  All I would do is set all the internal pages to use a masterpage with the menu in it.  But since some of the links are to external sites like yahoo.com or google.com, masterpages doesn't seem to be the right choice here.

Any suggestions?  Maybe I need to use something like a frame?

Thanks.

You still can use master page. But need to modify it a little. Try to use frame in your master page and display the content in a different frame from the menu.

I am so sorry. I was not thinking.  I think Master Page does not support frame.

I will see if there is other way that we can do this.

So sorry for the mis-info.

Although we cannot use frameset/frames in the MasterPage, we still canuse iFrame (inline frame. Thanks ScottGu).

I don't know whether this will work for you. It is kind of missing of point of using MasterPage. Anyway, I present to you.

1> Here the MasterPage (Sample.master), it contains the Menu, the Iframe and the contentplaceholder. I set frameborder to "no".

<form id="form1" runat="server">

<asp:Menu ID="MainMenu" runat="server" Orientation="Horizontal">

<Items>

<asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/default.aspx" Text="Home" Target="mycontent"></asp:MenuItem>

<asp:MenuItem Text="Sites">

<asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="http://www.yahoo.com" Text="Yahoo" Target="mycontent"></asp:MenuItem>

<asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="http://www.google.com" Text="Google" Target="mycontent"></asp:MenuItem>

</asp:MenuItem>

</Items>

</asp:Menu>

<iframe id="Iframe1" name="mycontent" width="100%" height="90%" runat="server" frameborder="no">

</iframe><br />

<asp:contentplaceholder id="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server">

</asp:contentplaceholder>

</form>

2> here the default.aspx: it does NOT use the master page. Just a simple plain aspx page

<form id="form1" runat="server">

<table border="0">

<tr>

<td>Last Name:</td>

<td>

<asp:TextBox ID="txtLastName" runat="server" />

<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="rfvLastName" runat="server" ControlToValidate="txtLastName" CssClass="Error" Display="Dynamic" ErrorMessage="Last Name Required" />

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>First Name:</td>

<td>

<asp:TextBox ID="txtFirstName" runat="server" />

<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="rfvFirstName" runat="server" ControlToValidate="txtFirstName" Display="Dynamic" ErrorMessage="First Name Required" />

</td>

</tr>

</table>

3> Then you will have a start page, which DOES use the masterpage and contains nothing else.

<%

@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Sample.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="frames.aspx.cs" Inherits="frames" Title="Untitled Page" %>

<

asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server">

</

asp:Content>

 

Fire up the start page, you will have the menu at the top. Click on Home, the default page is show, click on Yahoo, the Yahoo page is displayed.

That is just a preliminary example. You definitely need to twist it more to work nicely for you.

Good luck

Thanks for the reply.

Every time I use target=mycontent, instead of loading the page in the iframe, it's loading it a new I.E. window. 

Thanks.

Did you copy the code I posted? Did you have your iframe named as mycontent?

Normally if it cannot find the target, it opens in a new window.

I used target=mainFrame since my iFrame was named mainFrame.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Do you have the target for both in the internal and external links?

Do you want to post your code so I can take a look?

You need to give the "name" attribute for the iframe. That is what the target is looking for. Not the "id".

 <iframe id="mainFrame" name="mainFrame" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe>
