Question

I have asp.net Menu Item <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="" Text="Download" Value="Download"/>. When this item gets clicked, I want to execute jQuery click method. How can we do that?

Answer 1

Provide a CssClass property with some class to the menu item. On client side find the element using that class and attach click event handler to it.

<asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="" CssClass="menuItem" Text="Download" Value="Download"/>

Js

$('.menuItem').click(function(){
    //do stuff here
});

Update:

I think you can specify the css class in this way.

<asp:Menu ID="mainMenu" runat="server">
    ..
    <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="" CssClass="menuItem" Text="Download" Value="Download"/>
    ..
    <StaticMenuItemStyle CssClass="menuItem" />
</asp:Menu>
