Ok, i'm new here, i'm just looking for some help...Hopefully if these forums are as useful as they look i'll be back often...

Here's what i have on a local drive.... A dhtml menu that uses some javascript to clickcopied text.

Example for one of the menus:

dhtmlMenu = new NavBarMenu(110, 187);
dhtmlMenu.addItem(new NavBarMenuItem("<center>ADSL</center>", ""));
dhtmlMenu.addItem(new NavBarMenuItem("1) New Setup", "javascript:copyText(document.all.ADSLSetup);"));
dhtmlMenu.addItem(new NavBarMenuItem("2) Dialer Interferes", "javascript:copyText(document.all.lease);"));
dhtmlMenu.addItem(new NavBarMenuItem("3) 169 IP", "javascript:copyText(document.all.nodata);"));
dhtmlMenu.addItem(new NavBarMenuItem("5) Valid IP No Flow", "javascript:copyText(document.all.vipnf);"));
dhtmlMenu.addItem(new NavBarMenuItem("6) No Sync", "javascript:copyText(document.all.Redext);"));
dhtmlMenu.addItem(new NavBarMenuItem("7) Red Internal", "javascript:copyText(document.all.Redint);"));
dhtmlMenu.addItem(new NavBarMenuItem("8) Slow Speeds", "javascript:copyText(document.all.slow);"));
dhtmlMenu.addItem(new NavBarMenuItem("9) Escalate Info", "javascript:copyText(document.all.Escalate);"));
myNavBar1.addMenu(dhtmlMenu);


The

javascript:copyText(document.all.ADSLSetup)

Part references to the text that i have set to be copied. Now what i wanna do is change it from a copied text function, to a link. This is the script that the copied text runs off, i know i have to replace it with a new script to provide the link function but i don't know where i would find this or how specific the script would have to be....Here's the the clicked copied script:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

function copyText( obj ) {

var rng=document.body.createTextRange();

rng.moveToElementText(obj);
rng.scrollIntoView();
rng.select();
rng.execCommand("Copy");
rng.collapse(false);
rng.select();
self.scrollTo(0,0);
}


//-->
</script>


Any idea's how i could mod this?

Ok, I noticed i wasn't getting any help so i uploaded the page so it can be viewed to http://www28.brinkster.com/wrukus/java/init.html

If you click on anything in the nav bar it click copies to your clip board. I want to change that function to open a new link window.


PLEEEEEEEEEASE help me.

OK, it's important that you know that I don't know how your code works because I haven't read through it, and with any luck I won't have to. But it seems that if you want to get your menu items to act as links you should change this:

dhtmlMenu.addItem(new NavBarMenuItem("1) New Setup", "javascript:copytext(document.all.ADSLSetup);"));

into something like this:

dhtmlMenu.addItem(new NavBarMenuItem("1) New Setup", "http://www.w3.org/"));

Ok, Thanks.

So you think i should just delete the copyText script all together? I'm trying it now.

It looks as if it works, however it opens in the same window and attempts to open the url as an extension of the root, this may be different when online....

I tried target='blank' but that doesn't work. Would you suggest an Onclick= Approach?

Change target="blank" to target="_blank" and see what happens.
