I have a "Parent" list and a "Child" list, linked by a lookup column.

Both lists have "Show in modal dialog" disabled.

On the home page, I have a listview web part that displays the "Child" list, with some fields including the lookup to parent column.

When I click on this column, it shows me the parent item, but in a modal dialog.

How can I avoid this modal dialog?

You can do this by editing xslt in spd, namely you should change <xsl:value-of select> tag and add the surrounding <a>

<a href="http://vxmc2170345/Lists/facilty/DispForm.aspx?ID={substring-after($thisNode/@IDofListX., '#')}">
    <xsl:value-of select="substring-after($thisNode/@IDofListX. , '#')"/> </a>

Hi @Ksesh and welcome to our forum. Please dont just post a url to another forum. Use a few lines to explain what kind of solution we might find there, and then link to the post. External urls tend to be short lived, and we plan to stay around for a while ;-) – Anders Rask♦ Jul 13 '12 at 6:17
Sorry, thank you for explain) – Ksesh Jul 13 '12 at 6:34
I was looking for a way to avoid xsl. I will fall back to this solution if it's the only one, but I hope there will be a click/click/click solution. – Steve B Jul 13 '12 at 7:22
