I'm not exactly sure if this is a correct forum to post this,but here it goes anyway.

Could it be possible to make these menuitems rendered by dnn:NAV control to appear as a valid link (<a href=""...>)?

This would make browsing more fluent since that would allow user to decide whether he/she want's to open the page in a new window/tab and so on...

With the default menu that's not possible.

You can either develop your own menu provider for NAV (you need ASP.NET programming skills for that) or use other menu skin objects  like housemenu or http://www.dnndoneright.com

Please note that the skinning team does not develop the NAV menu skin object.

In fact in rel 5 you can render the menu as a unordered list and then it is possible.

   54 <dnn:NAV runat="server" id="dnnNAV" 

   55                                 ProviderName="DNNMenuNavigationProvider" IndicateChildren="false"

   56                                 ControlOrientation="Horizontal" CSSControl="mainMenu">

   57                                     <CustomAttributes>

   58                                        <dnn:CustomAttribute Name="RenderMode" Value="UnorderedList"/>

   59                                     </CustomAttributes>

   60   </dnn:NAV>

Just a quick update - since the original post, DDRMenu has been released, and in DNNMenu (or SolPart) emulation mode it has true hyperlinks. Also, it doesn't require you to make any changes to your existing DNNMenu (using DNNMenu as an UnorderedList requires restyling). Oh, and it's free!
