DW MX - Jump Menu - open new window? 1

[jrpatdlgs]

Is there a way to make DW MX jump menu selections open in new windows?

 

[lebisol]

u look at the current code and see what it looks like.........this must be
('where I opend',this)

"onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">"

then u look up in DW help file the concept of "targeting"
and it retured this:
_blank opens the linked document in a new browser window, leaving the current window untouched.
_parent opens the linked document in the parent frameset of the frame the link appears in, replacing the entire frameset.
_self opens the link in the current frame, replacing the content in that frame.
_top opens the linked document in the current browser window, replacing all frames.

so I would think that you desire:
onChange="MM_jumpMenu('_blank',this,0)">"

and yes this is done by hand in code view!
All the best!

p.s. pressing F1 when in DW is ALLWAYS a good start

Unfortunately because of the javascript used in the dw jump menu _blank will not work, you need to replace the text
"MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)"
with
"MM_jumpMenu('window.open()',this,0)"
