ASP.NET make a panel visible on click of hyperlink (whilst also cuasing postback for page navigation
- by Helen
I may be asking the impossible but let me set out my problem:
I have a menu in a MasterPage which uses images and mouseover mouseout events for design purposes.
On one of the menu options I need to display a set of sub menus options on the click of the parent menu item. The menu item itself also needs to navigate to a specified url.
I was originally trying to use an AJAX accordion panel but as I only had one accordion panel it was always displaying the sub menu items and was not collapsing.
I have also tried putting the options in a div and setting the display via javascript. This worked but then was overwritten once the page navigation postback occurred.
Here is the source:
