    Putting a page field in the NavigateUrl of an asp:HyperLink tag

    Probably a stupid question but I can't figure out how to insert a page field in the NavigateUrl of an <asp:HyperLink..> tag which I want to have in my template to open a link in a new browser tab (using the Target=_blank attribute).

    I tried the following:

    <p>Click <asp:HyperLink Target="_blank" runat="server"
              NavigateUrl='<umbraco:Item field="itemUrl" runat="server" />'
              Text="here" />to open the newsletter.</p>

    But this didn't render the expected url.

    Any thoughts on this?

    Hello Jos,

    If you want to use a server-side Hyperlink, my guess is you will need to do this in the code-behind. But if your only concern is to get a target="_blank" attribute, I think you can actually achieve this with a "client-side" <a> element: 

    <a href="<umbraco:Item field="itemUrl" runat="server" />" title="Title" alt="alt" target="_blank">some text</a>

    Assuming of course that "itemUrl" is a property of your current page.

    Cheers,

    Michael

    Thanks Michael.

    I am so used in using the <asp:HyperLink> tag that I didn't realize that the <a> tag also has this attribute of course.

    Yep,

    We're so focused on our "complex" things that we sometimes forget about the "basics" ;-)

    Have a nice week-end!

    Cheers,

    Michael.
