Javascript command

If you enter some JavaScript command, it will be run when this menu item is clicked.

Example: alert('hello');return false;

URL redirection

The user is redirected to the target location when they try to access the given page. Redirected documents are marked with the Redirected_flag icon in the content tree.

Example: http://www.domain.com or ~/products.aspx
