CHANGING MENU ACTIONS
 

You can choose from the following menu item behavior options:
 

Standard Behaviour: The menu item redirects the user to the page as expected.
 
Inactive Menu Item:  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.
- Example: alert ('You are being redirected outside our web site.');
 
URL Redirection: The user is redirected to the target location when the menu item of this document is clicked.
- Example: ~/products/overview.aspx - redirects user to the given page.
