HOW to create item that opens Sub + new page + new window?

[nickvasallo]

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.

hi ruth, thanks. so if i wanted to simply open new page in a new window without any resizing or whatever which part of the code would I need?

[Ruth]

Well, here's my guess '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: Select all

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

}

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

that actually just opens a new window, in order to do what i needed it was a bit more complex

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
