hercomserv · Post by **hercomserv** » Fri Sep 24, 2004 7:13 pm

How can I have one or more menu items open a website in a new window (traget frame - new window)?
Have looked around but can not find anything .... thanks for your help!

target
35
The target property allows you to declare a menu item link destination Values: new, blank Example: target='blank';

I don't think there should be quotes.
target=new;

aI("text=World Hope International;url=http://www.worldhope.org;target=new;");

Sorry I don't have it set to test.

Try the old way.

target=_blank;

I see a thread where it was used, maybe it still does.

Try this:

Code: Select all

aI("text=some text goes here;url=http://www.whatEver.com/theFileName.htm;target=_blank;targetfeatures=scrollbars=yes;status=put text here, it will show up on the task bar;");

Change targetfeatures=scrollbars=yes to scrollbars=no, if you don't want scroll bars.  Remove the status=and text if you want, its only an option.

oops, sorry Maz...didn't see your post

Didn't mean to step on toes.

This works for me:

target=_new;

Thanks,

I guess the instructions were off.

It still works the old way.

Don't you want to put in a file name? like http://wwwlworldhope.org/filename.htm;target=_blank

If not, I think you need a forward slash after .org
When no file name follows your web hosts name use a forward slash.

Still does not work???? aI("text=some text goes here;url=http://www.worldhope.org;target=_blank;");

what I want to do is to open a new browser window with an external website. like yahoo or google. - But I would like to keep the original website window open too. Right now it opens the external website in the existing window - not in a new window.
Anything else wrong in that file? I have version 5.
Thank you for your help!

rudy · Post by **rudy** » Sat Sep 25, 2004 12:46 am

Are you using target=_blank? If not try it, it should open a new window and still keep the orginal window open.

For example, as I am look at this Milonc forum in a window, and then click on the link I gave you in my last posting (even thought there is nothing on it-ficticious address) , it opens a new window, but the Milonic forum window is still open under it.

I may still may not be understanding what you want to do...

Here's an example that works on our menu:

aI("text=Find-a-Play;url=http://www.playscripts.com/findaplay/;t ... ind-a-Play;");

hercomserv,

What version of Milonic are you using? You'll find a version number of you open milonic_src.js an check the comments at the top.

Any of the methods mentioned by the others should work. You could try enclosing the target setting in single quotes, as shown in the original sample and below:

Code: Select all

aI("text=World Hope International;url=http://www.worldhope.org/;target='new';");

aI("text=Find-a-Play;url=http://www.playscripts.com/findaplay/;t ... ind-a-Play;");

Added exactly the above line. When I click on the item "Find-a-Play" it does not open the new site in a new window. It replaces the current window.

I just upgraded to the newest version 5.48 by replacing the three .js files

Please provide a URL so we can see your exact setup. As Kevin mentioned, the suggestions by the other folks here should work.

hercomserv · Post by **hercomserv** » Sat Sep 25, 2004 5:51 pm

url is http://www.sandlakewesleyan.org/preview the last menu option - Links - has the below code ... so most of them should open the linked websirte in a new window.
Thanks again for your help!

with(milonic=new menuname("Links")){
style=menuStyle;
aI("text=Wesleyan Denomination;url=http://www.wesleyan.org;");
aI("text=Wisconsin District;url=http://www.wiwesleyan.org;traget=blank;");
aI("text=Wesleyan Publishing House;url=http://www.wesleyan.org/wph;traget=new;");
aI("text=World Hope International;url=http://www.worldhope.org;target=_new;");
aI("text=some text goes here;url=http://www.worldhope.org/;target=_blank;");
aI("text=Find-a-Play;url=http://www.playscripts.com/findaplay/;t ... ind-a-Play;");
}

The first three items do not open a new window, while the last three do...

Line 1. You didn't ask for a new window here.

Lines 2 & 3. Maybe it's just me, but I suspect the system does not know what "traget=_new" is

Line 4. This works, given that "traget" is now "target"!

Lines 5-6. These are not recognizing the url for some reason (the hand changes to a text cursor), and the menu closes immediately.

target=_new; is correct.

Sorry - got a headache. Had to pick on somebody...

Also make sure you don't have a pop-up blocker enabled. I thought mine was disabled but it was still preventing the new window from appearing. Worked fine in Firefox.

After allowing the host in IE 6 SP2, the target=_new; worked.

Im having the same problem here.
