I want to create "An Item that Opens a Submenu and Links to a New Page in a New Window" as per the instructions on the frames tutorial, I was directed here to pose the question.

Well, here's my guess :lol:

'cause I don't really know, but I think you'd just eliminate anything after the url, keeping the last ) (url) Maybe you'd also need 'name', Try it with just the url part and see what happens. I'm not sure what the default is on a new window, if it has all the goodies, like scroll bars and such. I think it does.

edit: after experimenting, it's this

Code:

var newwindow; 
function mynewwindow(url) 
{ 
   newwindow=window.open(url); 

}

There's also the much easier target=_blank;.

Guess I missed the part about 'in order to do what i needed it was a bit more complex' somewhere in that statement.

Oh yes, I can see what you missed - please see 1st post: "An Item that Opens a Submenu and Links to a New Page in a New Window" as per the instructions on the frames tutorial. Not just a new window from a link.

What is needed an extra function within the java menu data file. Ruth gave me some code that works, thanks for trying though
