Who knows about javascript

Ozeire

Hey all

It'd be great if someone could help. I have a javascript for CascadedDropdown Menu . The only prob with it is that it puts every link into the parent page .

I want to be able to lunch links in new windows .


http://ozeire.com/menu.txt



The part i'm dealing with is


// This is a vertical menu positioned 0px across and 22px down from its trigger, and is 80px wide.
startMenu('mGet', true, 0, 22, 80, subM);
// The URLs are set to # here, be sure to replace them with your path/file names or JS functions!
// Also note how all the types are '', indicating these links open in the current frame.
addItem('Visas', '../home/gethere.html', '');
addItem('Banking', '../home/banking.html', '');
addItem('Taxation', '../home/tax.html', '');
addItem('Flights / Travel', '../home/flight.html', '', subM, 38);





Thanks in advance

For future reference - this is javascript, not Java. They are two completely diffetent things.

Locate
window.navigate(cmd)
in your document. window.navigate() is a deprecated command for IE.

Change this line to
window.open(cmd, "newWin")

Let me know if it works.

Done that and still doesn't seem to be working .

I want some of the links to open in the parent window and some open in new windows .

The script would seem to be set up to only open the links one way. You would need to edit the script to allow you to set the type of window for each link. I.e. you would need to edit the addItem() function to take four paremeters instead of three.

Webmonkey

in your AddItem() thing there is a empty ''at the end of each. Taking another value so try entering _blank inside these marks. eg:
addItem('Taxation', '../home/tax.html', '_blank');

Pure guess tbh. I'm not the best with Javascript

Again guessing but this is probably creating onclick events that set the document.location value which will not open in a new window. You can verify this by looking at the rendered script in the resulting html page. You might be better finding a menu that actually creates anchor links (<a href="etc.)
