has anyone tested it yet?
Im having a problem with the way my menu calls for pages to open in a new window. the new pop up blocker prevents the window from opening. is there a easy fix for this? i know in our html documents target="_blank" is not effected by the new pop up blocker but pages that open in a new window are blocked.

any help is appreciated
thanks

What browser?

What OS?

Exactly what menu version?

Hi,

Service pack 2 has been tested with the menu and it appears to be fine, although it did have us worried after we saw the beta notes on Microsoft's website.

Microsoft have removed several functions, with SP2, that may affect the menus ability to open windows etc. This is designed to block popups and those REALLY annoying DHTML ads that flash across the screen. Unfortunately, it may have an effect on the menu but there isn't much we can do about it.

For your information - Servive pack 2 is very heavily geared towards securing Winfows XP. Firewall and Anti-Virus utilites have been upgraded and introduced that will hopefully make XP a much safer operating system. I'm all for the changes even though it will remove some of the menu's window opening ability.

My guess is that you can switch these options off from the settings but by default they are now on. I'll let you know if we find a way around it, but it's unlikely.

Cheers
Andy

well this is the line in my menu.

aI("text=Site Search;url=/redirect/SearchAsp.htm;");

its the redirect part that i think SP2 is freeking out over ... anyone have a idea that might help me out where the link opens in a new window.

kinda like target="_blank"
