Good Day
I was working on a project and my Boss was working on a look and feel and he used the ultrawebmenu on version 8.1. The Control is Cool , i would like to make a suggestion. There is a property in the menu called "Target Url" this does not browse to the page, but it looks for the name of the page. Now this is good for me , but for him its a problem because he makes typo's there and the menu will not find the page when its clicked. The Microsoft menu control browse to the location of the File.
Can you look at that in the Future?
Thanks

Hello,
What you mean by "does not browse to the page" ? TargetURL property si used exactly for navigation. When users clicks on menu item that has TargetURL defined, UltraWebMenu will cause browser to navigate to that page.
Could you provide more info on your experice so we can trace down why it does not cause navigation on click, when there is defined TargetURL?
Good Morning
I understand what TargetUrl does, my point that instead of allowing a programmer to do a copy and paste of the name of the page to navigate too, you can just do it like ms menu control, because what it does it allows you to browse to the location of the page.
I am afraid I'm having difficulties to understand what "the name of the page" means? And also what is the difference between MS Menu control and UltraWebMenu you are describing. Could you provide code snippets and/or markup to help us better understand what is your suggestion.
A Normal Windows menu control will have something like this
<asp:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server"> <Items> <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/About_me.aspx" Text="New Item" Value="New Item"></asp:MenuItem> </Items> </asp:Menu>
Now in this markup you can see there is line that says
MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/About_me.aspx"
Now a programmer did not type the tidle there. The programmer was given an option to browse to the location of the "About_me.aspx" page. So what i was suggesting was that mybe you can make the ultrawebmenu to do the same , because in order to have a value there, you must have remembered the name of the page by heart or do some copy and paste and this is open to typos, because someone might enter the name of the page with incorrect spelling.
