Alternative URLs break menu openers

Set an alternative URL on a menu opener, and the menu won't open any more. This is what alternative URLS are for isn't it?

Using the demo code site in http://milonic.com/menu/menu.zip, I changed the "News & Sites" menu opener thus:

,"News sites ","show-menu=news target=_blank","http://www.google.com","",1

You've got your target in the wrong place.

Have moved the target as suggested, and that helps now thanks. Without the target there at all, the URL doesn't open either. Perhaps it would help to update the FAQ to make it clear that setting the target is necessary for this to work. The FAQ makes no mention of this IIRC.

Anyway, this still doesn't work when you set the menus to open onClick. A new browser window opens up with the URL javascript:ShM=1;popi('show-menu=news','menu1',1); This causes the Object Expected message, rather than displaying Google. Please fix.
