This may get convoluted.

What I want to acheive is using a treeview in one pane of a frameset where the Navigate URL is set to display in another pane in the frameset. This works fine by setting the Target to the name of the frame. What I want to add is the ability to say Shift-Click on the tree view and if the Shift key is down, change the Target to _blank so that the page opens outside of the frameset in a new window. A plain link could do this but isn't as pretty as your treeview. :-)

I'd also love to do a Ctrl-Click and have it load in a Tab in a tabbed browser but I don't think javascript understands tabs yet.

Any ideas?

Hi Arnold,

The TreeView won't do that. It is possible to implement by handling ClientSideOnItemClick and then use JavaScript to check the ctrl/shift key state by yourself. However it can get rather complicated to support all browsers. Generally speaking it doesn't seem to be a good idea to implement this because browser already gave special meaning to ctrl/shift keys and different browser implements them differently. Some even changes between versions.

Thanks
