<asp:HyperLinkField DataNavigateUrlFields="ProjectID" DataNavigateUrlFormatString="javascript:OpenProject({0})"

DataTextField="ProjectName" HeaderText="Project" SortExpression="ProjectName">

</asp:HyperLinkField>

in the june version all works fine.
but if I remove the javascript: in the format string, then the link is render properly.

there is anything to do?

thanks.

Unfortunately, it was too late in the product cycle to consider adding a property to turn this feature on/off.

Check out this post from Jonas Stawski on a workaround using a <asp:BoundField> control:

I tried this and modified the javascript to a window.open function.  It works, but when the child page opens, the parent page is blanked except for the text "[object]".  If I refresh the parent page, it then says "null".

Forgot where I found the answer, but here it is:

<a href=var&nbsp;popup=window.open(........

So, the new window (here 'popup') must be declared as a var in the javascript.
