Create a jump list in
window7 with Internet Explorer9
Jump list is an important feature of window7. Here I explain how it is creating by some JavaScript code
and internet explorer9.
First open any of Visual Studio versions and create an
ASP.Net project. And write simple list tag of html in body section.
<ul>
<li value="http://dkbakrecha.webs.com"
style="color:Olive;
text-decoration:underline; list-style-type:square; cursor:pointer;">DKB
Planet</li>
<li value="http://dkbakrecha.blogspot.in"
style="color:Olive;
text-decoration:underline; list-style-type:square; cursor:pointer;">DKB
Blog</li>
</ul>
And then create a “Meta” tag named “msapplication-task”
and content attribute of that like
this.
<title>DKB
Jumplist</title>
<meta name="msapplication-task"
content ="name=DKB
Planet; action-uri=http://dkbakrecha.webs.com/;icon-uri=Images/alarm.ico"
/>
<meta
name="msapplication-task"
content ="name=DKB
Blog;
action-uri=http://dkbakrecha.blogspot.in/;icon-uri=Images/application.ico"
/>
When you run your project (F5) then the project is seen like
that:
Drag your site and drop on it to taskbar. Like:
Drag:
Drop:
After right click on your icon then your jump list look
like:
Making code for recent item for Jump List
For giving recent functionality to your jump list write
JavaScript code in head tag of site.
<script type="text/javascript">
function
AddItemToJumpList(selectedItem,selectedItemUrl,iconName)
{
try
{
if(window.external.msIsSiteMode())
{
window.external.msSiteModeCreateJumpList('Recent
visited');
//Add Item
window.external.msSiteModeAddJumpListItem(selectedItem, selectedItemUrl,
iconName);
window.external.msSiteModeShowJumpList();
}
}
catch (e)
{
alert('Feature not support. Error: =' + e.Message);
}
}
</script>
And embed onClick event to <li> tag:
onclick="AddItemToJumpList('DKB
Planet','http://dkbakrecha.webs.com','Images/alarm.ico')"
Build your application, again drag and drop your site to
taskbar. It is seen like that:
Finally your jump list is ready to use. It is easy to manage
your useful link to it and view your frequently using of your suffering.
Enjoy :-)
