Disabling treeview postback in ASP.NET 2.0

Sometimes you didn't need a postback when selecting a node in a treeview or you just use the treeview for displaying the data, but how can you do this when by default every treenode has an attribute value of javascript:__doPostBack in href which causes the postback.

To do this, all you have to do is set the NavigateUrl attribute to "javascript:void(0)" of the TreeNodeBinding.

<asp:TreeNodeBinding DataMember="item" Depth="1" NavigateUrl="javascript:void(0)" ValueField="name" />

Note that this only disable the postback in 2nd level of nodes as what i have set in the Depth attribute.

Works on IE and Firefox.
Attached here is the sample code.
