trying to open a new window

cic · Jan 15, 2002

I copied this code in order to create two menus that would pull up a pdf file. However, I need the pdf file to open up in a new window. Can someone help me out? The code is below

Thanks

instead of
window.top.location.href = theme_prin.theme.options[theme_prin.theme.selectedIndex].value;
you have to say
window.open(theme_prin.theme.options[theme_prin.theme.selectedIndex].value;, "", "toolbar,menubar,scrollbars.resizable,status&quot

Is there something else I can try?
