Menu Actions
You can choose from the following menu item behavior options:
Standard Behavior: |
The menu item redirects the user to the page as expected. |
Inactive Menu Item redirect to URL: |
The menu item click doesn't raise any action - the item is disabled. This option is useful if you need to create a menu item for the main section in the drop-down menu that cannot be clicked, but the sub-items can be clicked. |
JavaScript Command: |
If you enter a JavaScript command, it will be run when this menu item is clicked. |
Redirect to first child |
This will cause this page to automatically redirect to the first sub page (child page) under it. |
URL Redirection:
|
The user is redirected to the target location when the menu item of this document is clicked.
Ex.
~/products/overview.aspx - This parameter will redirect a user to the 'products/overview' page. |
