[SOLVED] Open link in a New Window ?

webguy · 10-02-2008, 08:35 AM

I am sorry I posted this in another area mistakenly.

My questions is this:

If I want the following link to open in a new window, what would I need to add to the code? Thanks!

Menu1_1=new Array("Outside Link","http://www.outsidelink.com","",0,75,200);

I got it figured out.

Menu1_1=new Array("Outside Link","javascript:NewWin=window.open('http://www.outsidelink.com','NWin');window['NewWin'].focus()", "",0,75,200);

Hey, glad you got it sorted... just to add, if this is the regular "<a href='blah.htm'..." link you could just add the target attribute to make it open in a new window (though you wouldn't have a javascript handle to it[which would only matter if you need to close/change the url from the main window])...

e.g:

Code:

<a href="mynewwindow.html" target="_blank">This would open in a blank window</a>

Thanks Jamey. In my case, the simple method, of course, would not work. My headache is now gone. lol

Glad others can learn from this information as well.
