I am using .Net Forms Authentication and would like to have an AJAX modal pop-up window with a Login Control. I can accomplish this with a regular Login link. The home page of my site is unprotected. There are several links to protected areas of the site. I need the modal pop-up window to appear whenever it is necessary for a user to login. Is this possible?

I am using 3.5 - I haven't completely finished looking this over, but here are a few other considerations I have:
I am storing my links in a sitemap file. I already need to add an onclick to some of these links (adding google analytics tracking code - reason being that some of the links link out to external sites).
Can I combine the functionality of the login check/google tracking in an onclick event? And can I do this in a way that's easily maintainable?
I don't see any reason you couldn't combine the code. Make a Login function, and then in whatever function handles your OnClick event call the Login Function and paste the google code below.
Have you figured out how to add an OnClick even't to links in the Site map? If you have I don't see any real issues with the setup. If not then we can research a bit more I can't say that I've done it already. It seems like the best way to do it would just be to run a function on each link and inside the function determine if the Google code or the login or both need to run that would make it easier than having to worry about which links need an OnClick event handler and which don't.
You should just be able to give the TreeView that you are using for your Sitemap an OnClick event. It may not show with Intellisense though.
That should work perfect, on each click the javascript function runs and decides if it should run the login code, the google code, none or both.
So <asp:Treeview Name="sample" OnCick="javascript_functio
I'm not using a treeview, but the concept is the same. Anyways, I wrote some code in the OnItemDataBound event of my repeater (for my side bar navigation) and I'll do the same for the menu control. I added an onclick for the Google tracking - it looks like this:
"javascript:pageTracker._t
That's what the Google site says to use. Can I just attach another function after the semicolon (such as below)? (I'm not a huge javascript person)
like "javascript:pageTracker._t
I'm just a little confused on how to combine the two.
Yes, you should be able to do that, but it is possible that it might now work because of how ASP handles it in the background. Try it and if it doesn't work simply right a new Javascript function that calls both functions in the same way you are trying to now and then you will have one function that calls the other two.

This appears to be a pretty easy way to do it, but it is only available in .NET 3.5. Though it looks to me like you will need an OnClick event for each protected link on your page to check if the user is authenticated or not. Hope it helps.
