Documentation for this section has not yet been entered.

Remarks

When the System.Web.UI.WebControls.Menu control is bound to a data source, use the MenuItemBinding.Target property to specify the window or frame in which to display the Web content linked to a menu item when that menu item is clicked.

Note:

Setting this property overrides the Menu.Target property of the System.Web.UI.WebControls.Menu control for the menu items to which the System.Web.UI.WebControls.MenuItemBinding object is applied. You can selectively override this property by setting the MenuItem.Target property of each menu item directly.

Target values must begin with a letter in the range of A through Z (case-insensitive), except for certain special values that begin with an underscore, as shown in the following table.

_blank

Renders the content in a new window without frames.

_parent

Renders the content in the immediate frameset parent.

_search

Renders the content in the search pane.

_self

Renders the content in the frame with focus.

_top

Renders the content in the full window without frames.

Note:

Check your browser documentation to determine if the _search value is supported. For example, Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 and later support the _search target value.

Note:

The MenuItemBinding.Target property renders as a target attribute. The target attribute on anchor elements is not allowed in the XHTML 1.1 document type definition. Do not set the MenuItemBinding.Target property if the rendered output for the System.Web.UI.WebControls.MenuItemBinding object must be XHTML 1.1 compliant. For more information, refer to the topic ASP.NET and XHTML Compliance.

When creating accessible Web pages, it is strongly recommended you avoid using the MenuItemBinding.Target property to target another window. For more information, see ASP.NET Accessibility.
