I am binding flytreeview control to a dataset and use the NavigateURLField and NavigateTarget="_blank" to open the link in a new window. This works if I use IE but does not work with Firefox.

Any help to resolve would be appreciated.

Thanks

Didn't manage to reproduce.

Added a node to stock demo:

NavigateUrl="http://www.google.com/" NavigateTarget="_blank">

Checked in IE7 and FireFox 3.
IE opens in a new window, FF opens it in a new tab. Isn't it a desired behavior?

I am using the following code:

                                         BorderColor="Silver" BorderWidth="1px" Height="100%" Width="100%" Padding="1px" ImageSet="Vista"
                        FadeEffect="True" WideCell="True" ExpandLevel="1" NavigateTarget="_blank"  CanBeSelected="false" ContentClickCollapses="true">










I want to open the link in a new window / tab doesn't matter. but works only with IE. I am using Firefox 3.0.7

Also could you help me to open a link to word or excel file in their respective application without opening a blank windows which at present is the issue with IE; it opens both a new window and the word/excel application.

It works with Firefox when I remove the NavigateTarget property and it opens in the same browser window. I want users to see the link in a new window

Thanks.

You can put custome javascript code using
NavigateUrl="javascript:openInANewWindowOrWhatever(...)"

Then you can simply use javascript's window.open(...) function to manage where what and how you need to display (same window, or new, etc.)

Ok, I modified my code to use FlyNodeBinding and set NavigateTarget property in FlyTreeView (not FlyTreeNode).
Same effect. It opens in a new tab (for Firefox).
If you remove NavigateUrlField and add NavigateUrl="http://www.asp.net/" instead for testing purpose. Does it work then?

Also, do you experience same problem if you add nodes manually instead of databinding? We need to reproduce it somehow to see what the problem is. So any code that we can run and debug here is preferable. Thanks.

I tried NavigateURL instead of NavigateURLField but won't work without taking out the NavigateTarget property.

I tried your other suggestion and changed NavigateURL in the NodeDataBound event :

e.Node.NavigateUrl = "javascript:openInNewWindow('" + e.Node.NavigateUrl + "');"
and used the javascript function openInNewWindow to open the target in a new window.

This work for me. Appreciate all your help.

Thanks.

It would be great if we also find out why NavigateTarget approach does not work in your case (to fix a possible bug).
Can you help me with reproducing your issue?

I'll try to fill the tree manually and using the NavigateTarget property. Will keep you posted.
