Target = _blank

I have seen several posts and an example that tell how to have a main menu link open in a new window using code:

aI("target=_new;text=Product Purchasing Page - With target=new;url=http://www.milonic.com/cbuy.php;");

However when I try that with my menu it still opens in the same window. Has anybody run into that problem? Any ideas why this might be happening?

Here is a snippet from my page code (the last menu item - almost last piece of this snippet - is where I am trying to open in a new window (I've also copied examples directly and added them to no avail)

<!--Display Menu -->
<div id="oqarMenuContents">
<div id="oqarMenu"><!--- Menu -->
<a href=http://www.milonic.com/><font color="black">JavaScript Menu Powered by Milonic</font></a>
</div>
</div>

If you mean this...

...that obviously won't work, or was that just to show us where?

Anyway, got a URL? Makes it a lot easier for us. target=_blank; should not be a problem.

Hi,

If you have the newest version it should be working, but check your page to see if you have some kind of code about opening new windows.
