Fading Scroller Query

Fading scroller
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex2/fadescroll.htm

Just a quick question. I've been using the Fading Scroller for a while.
I can add a image to the scroller, I can make it linkable, but how do I get the link for the image to open up in a new window?
I've tried both target='_blank' and target='new' neither open in a new window. Does anyone know how or if this
is possible with this script?

Thanks - Southernwinds

In today's browsers, target='_blank' will almost always open a new tab. But it must be an attribute of the a tag. Here:


<a href='https://7538.thankyou4caring.org/page.aspx?pid=298'><img src='./clipart/donate.png' width='100' height='100' target='_blank'></a>

it's an attribute of the img tag. It should go here:


<a href='https://7538.thankyou4caring.org/page.aspx?pid=298' target='_blank'><img src='./clipart/donate.png' width='100' height='100'></a>

The browser cache may need to be cleared and/or the page refreshed to see changes.
