c# - SiteMapNode OnClick Event MVC 5 -

currently using mvc 5 , c#. trying trigger popup (javascript) clicking button tied sitemapnode lives in navigation menu bar. not want navigate away current page, problem because sitemapnode requires "url" attribute and/or "action" attribute.

basically want sitemapnode behave stupid button onclick attribute fires javascript. without leaving page.

the clearest answer i've found is:

jquery dialog sitemapnode

but uses webforms , solution not translatable. have found 0 answers of how in mvc.

thanks! sam
