Anylink Menu - _new

[WereAllThieves]

1) Script Title: AnyLink JS Drop Down Menu v2.2

2) Script URL (on DD):
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/dropmenuindex.htm

3) Describe problem:
I would like to have one of the links in the menu contents to load in the same page, and the other link to load in a new tab. Any suggestions on how to do this?

If I am understanding correctly, all you need to do is define the first link normally, and the second one to open in a new page. For example:


var menu1=new Array()
menu1[0]='<a href="/php/about-us.php">About Us</a>'
menu1[1]='<a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com" target="_blank">Best Scripts</a>'

Well, how would that apply to the code from this script?


var link1={divclass:'anylinkmenu', inlinestyle:'', linktarget:''}
link1.items=[
["Go to Website", "http://www.link1url.com"],
["View the Flyer", "../link1folder/link1.html"]
]

Seems I am using an older version of the same script. Not sure if this would work... I've enclosed the first link in single quotes in order to add the new page part.


var link1={divclass:'anylinkmenu', inlinestyle:'', linktarget:''}
link1.items=[
["Go to Website", '"http://www.link1url.com" target="_blank"'],
["View the Flyer", "../link1folder/link1.html"]
]

I just took a look at the new version. Now I remember trying it when it came out. Although it has many cool new features, I found it overkill for my needs. I really like the original version.

Thanks for posting your solution. I've tried it, too, but rather than opening the link to another site in a new window, it opens the same page the link appears on in a new window. Any idea why this might be, please? Here's the code:



anylinkmenu.items=[
["CAO Office", "departments-cao-office.php"],
["Castle Kilbride", '"http://www.castlekilbride.ca" target="_new"']
//no comma following last entry!
]

Thanks!

Try changing the target="_new" to target="_blank"
