Really stupid question here.

[Naild]

How can I get the links in this script to open in a new window? Any help would be appriciated. Thank you.

[Naild]

Thank you for taking the time to help me Jona, but it didn't work sorry to say. The entire menu just disappeared.:(

I only replaced that part of the script too. I think I'm going to throw this computer out a window. LOL

Any other idea's?

[Jona]

else if (ns4){document.write('<TR><TD BGCOLOR="white"><ILAYER><LAYER width="'+menuwidth+'" onmouseover="bgColor=\'yellow\'" onmouseout="bgColor=\'white\'"><CENTER><A HREF="'+menul[i]+'" target="_blank" class="menulinks">'+menui[i]+'</A></CENTER></LAYER></ILAYER></TD></TR>')}

[Naild]

Thank you for all your effort Jona, but it still didn't work. The menu did not display at all. However, someone else fixed it for me and I thought I would write you back so you know how it was fixed for future reference. Again, thank you very much for trying and God bless.

The solution was:
class=menulinks target="_blank">

[Jona]

The backslahes were removed from my post otherwise I'm certain it would have worked. The order of the attributes in an element hardly affect its appearance.

Hi Jona!

I'd say the problem was 'document.layers'; I am quite sure, Naild - like quite a number of people - is not using NS4. I suspect, this (http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=334012#post334012) contributed to the solution.

The menu in question is one of the worst I've ever seen; hope I pointed that out understandably enough in the DHTML forum's thread.

Cheers - Pit

[Jona]

Thanks for clearing that up, Pitt. Cheers! :)

[Pittimann]

Hi!

Actually, it was Naild clearing it up. :p
