The following script and menu are both placed in my master page.  When I click on a menu item I am taken to the page I expect just fine.  However, I also want to do some processing when a menu item is clicked (in addition to going to the new page).  Thus I am trying to call the Menu_Posts_MenuItemClick procedure.  But nothing happens when I click on a menu item (other than navigating to the new page...which does work).  For testing I tried to do something simple like updating a label but even that doesn't work.

Does anybody have any ideas as to what I am missing or doing wrong.

<script runat="server">

    Sub Menu_Posts_MenuItemClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MenuEventArgs) Handles Menu_Posts.MenuItemClick

        Dim Index As Integer = Int32.Parse(e.Item.Value)

        Dim label1 As Label = CType(Me.FindControl("label1"), Label)

        label1.Text = 1 'Index
 

    End Sub

</script>

<asp:Menu

ID="Menu_Posts"

runat="server"

DataSourceID="PCSiteMapDataSource"

Orientation="Horizontal"

OnMenuItemClick="Menu_Posts_MenuItemClick"

style="position: relative; top: -18px"

StaticEnableDefaultPopOutImage="False">

    <StaticMenuItemStyle
 
    Font-Names="Arial"

    Font-Size="12px"

    ForeColor="White" />

    <DynamicMenuItemStyle

    Font-Names="Arial"

    Font-Size="12px"

    ForeColor="Yellow" />

   
    <StaticItemTemplate>

        <%# Eval("Text") %>

    </StaticItemTemplate>

</asp:Menu>

Thanks in advance...MDCragg

1. Try debugging and see if the control goes to the click event or not

2. if it does try seeing how postBack is handled if the page goes to load after the click or what ??

 If you bind the NavigateUrl of the Menu item, it will not raise the itemclick event, becuase it direcitly redirect to another new page. To raise the Itemclick event, do not bind the NavigateUrl property of Menu item.

Hi MDCragg,

Base on your description, your menu's datasource is sitemapdatasource, when you click on the menuitem, it did not fire the menuitem click event, right?

In fact, If the menuitem's navigateURL is not empty, when you click on it, it will redirect to page that the its naviageteURL is on without postback, this happened in the client, so the menu item click event will not be fired.

But if you do not use the sitemapdatasourse for the menuite, and add the menu items in the aspx file, do not set the NavigateURL for the menuitem, the click event will be fired.

Hope it helps.
