Jump menu problem

[DoctorFox]

Hi all, i'm looking for some help if you can? I'm putting together some jump menu's and want the links to open up in a new browser window. The target menu in the jump menu field only offers "open in main window" and does not give me any other choices.....

Is it possible to do this in Dreamweaver or is it a case of manually altering the HTML code?

Any advice would be appreciated as it's driving me mad B-(

Hello DoctorFox!

Change DW's code a bit.
[ol]
[li] select list menu, open Behaviours window and remove Jump Menu behaviour;

[li] still having list menu selected add Open Browser Window behaviour;

[li] still having list menu selected go to code and change this code
onChange="MM_openBrWindow('','','')"
into this
onChange="MM_openBrWindow(this,'put_here_any_name_you_want','set_here_any_attributes_you_want')"

[li] still having list menu selected open Properties window and set values - each item must have URL to the page you want to open as its value.
Example: <option value=&quot;aaa.htm&quot; selected>aaa</option>

[li]goto HEAD section of your page and find MM_openBrWindow function and change it to look like this:
function MM_openBrWindow(selObj,winName,features) { //v2.0
window.open(selObj.options[selObj.selectedIndex].value,winName,features);
[/ol]

That must be it (if I didn't forget anything )... Good Luck!
