How do I make some links open in a new browser window?

[dukesmj]

1) Script Title: Ger Versluis 2000 version 1.0

2) Script URL (on DD): www.dynamicdrive.com

3) Describe problem: I need for some of my links within my menu to open up in a new window browser so the user doesn't have to arrow back to my site when a file opens like for instance this code

Menu3_11=new Array("Acquisition Planning Guide","http://www.logcom.usmc.mil/contracts/files/ACQ_PLAN.pdf",0,14,200)

; . I need to know what code I need to use and where in the code of the menu would it go.

Here is the menu script:

That's not the entire code. Also, if this is a script here on DD, please include the actual link to the page (not a link to the entire site). Hope this helps.

[djr33]

It's very hard to read a script posted just as text.

Please use [code]...p/code] tags to seperate it.

Also, if this is a script on DD, then link directly to that script so we can see how it works in the first place to be help.

What you posted above is not complete either, and not related to how it opens in a new window (or not).
The code, as I said in the other thread, that generates the link must be changed, not the code that sets a value as the url for the link to be used later.


The most important question--
do you need to choose invidually which links open in a new window?
Or can they all just open in a new window?


Just link to the Dynamic Drive webpage for the script and we'll take a look.

Actually, just looking at that (without having the rest of the code), I notice that all of the lines like this:

Menu3_11=new Array("Acquisition Planning Guide","http://www.logcom.usmc.mil/contracts/files/ACQ_PLAN.pdf",0,14,200)

have a zero in the array. Try changing that (the part in red) to a 1 and see if that helps. If not, change it back. Hope this helps.

Sorry about that. Here is a link:

My menu works like the link above. I need for select links to open in a new window not all of them. Thank you again and I hope I did this right.

[thetestingsite]

I you are just using that script, simply put the target attribute in the menu array. Use the following as an example:

menu1[0]='<a onclick="window.open(this.href); return false;" href="http://www.javascriptkit.com">JavaScript Kit</a>'

Notice the part in red. Only use that for those links you want to open in a new window.

Hope this helps.

I've read through this thread. I've been looking for a way to have new browser window open on a select link in the hvmenu 5.5. I've tried what you suggested, but since my arrays in 5.5 don't use <a href></a> tags, this isn't working.

would you please code for me what needs to be adjusted in the example below for this one menu item to open in a new browser window:

Menu2=new Array("CALENDAR',"calendar.php',"',0,15,110);

btw, I love this script. it's a snap to use.
