Open Navigate URL in new page

[Hamed]

Hi guys,
I am new to programming and maybe my enquiries seem funny.
Currently I am using the RadTagCloud Control based on data binding in my prototype system.
Everything works great. I just want to open the resource related to each tag (which is stored in NavigareURL field) in a new window when I click each item in the TagCloud.
Any ideas?

Also, I have a textbox in my web page which I want to clear its content when I click on any tag in the tag cloud, but the RadTagCloud1_ItemClick is not fired to do this.
Any help here?

Cheers,
Hamed

Hi Hamed,

Currently RadTagCloud does not support this out of the box (such feature will be present in Q3 2010), but it can easily be achieved with a few lines of code:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientLoad(sender, args)
    {
        var items = sender.get_items();
        for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++)
        {
            items[i].get_anchorElement().setAttribute("target", "_blank");
        }
        }
</script>

<telerik:RadTagCloud ID="RadTagCloud1" OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad" Width="500" runat="server">
    <Items>
        <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="Item" NavigateUrl="http://google.com" />
        <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="Item" NavigateUrl="http://google.com" />
        <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="Item" NavigateUrl="http://google.com" />
        <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="Item" NavigateUrl="http://google.com" />
    </Items>
</telerik:RadTagCloud>

As for your second question, please make sure that AutoPostBack is set to true. If you still experience problems after that, it will be best to open a support ticket and to send us a sample project so we can get a better view over your exact scenario.

Hi Georgi

Thank you very much for your great help.
The first issue was solved.
About the second one:
Imagine that I have a RadTagCloud in page1.aspx and I have a panel control in page2.aspx (page 2 is shown after clicking items in RadTagCloud).
I need to make the panel control "invisible" in page2 when I click on any item of RadTagCloud in page1.
I don't know how to do this.

Cheers,
Hamed

Hello Hamed,

I believe the following article from MSDN will be helpful: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178139.aspx.

Hello telerik team,

is this feature (opening a new Window onclick by setting a serverside variable) now implemented?
I could not find anything in the serverside documentation.

Thank you for your help!

Hello Carsten,

You can set the RadTagCloud property Target to _blank in order to open the item's link in a new window or tab. This property is used for specifiing the target window or frame to display the new content when a RadTagCloud item is clicked:

<telerik:RadTagCloud runat="server" ID="RadTagCloud1" Target="_blank">
...
</telerik:RadTagCloud>

Truly, the Target property is missing from the Server-Side API documentation of RadTagCloud. Thank you for bringing this to out attention, the help article will be updated accordingly.

All the best,
Slav
