I know it's not the best practice. However, i have a need for opening a new window off an external link on my menu. I can do it anywhere else on the site but, not off the main menu...

Extend dmNavigation to allow a "new window" attribute and then modify your genericNav or whatever loops over and creates your links. I did this quite a while ago in FC 3.

You Rock.. Just one more question.. Will this fix on your blog be hard to apply to 4.0.9 or is it relatively the same? Your skill far outweigh my own so this is going to take some serious time. I just wanted to make sure i'm not going to get stuck on something that was a changeover on the new version.

Well, you'd want to use formtools instead of creating all the form
logic. Other than that the creation of the links will be the same.

Javascript would go in the file that is looping over your site tree to
create your menu. The default is in FC 4 is in
/farcry/core/tags/webskin/genericNav.cfm but you can always create your
own and stick it in /webskin/includes or somewhere else that seems
appropriate.

Okay i just wanted to thank for all your help. This is still beyond me at this point. However, i was wondering if there was a simple way to add target="blank" for all external links. See this is a corporate site, and anything outside of it can be opened in a new window. I'de even like to stay away from a javascript popup at this point because of pop up blockers etc... Can i add a line in the generic nav file to add this attribute to the link?

Yes, you can add that but you'll still want to extend dmNavigation so
you can flag which links go outside and which ones don't.

okay im starting to get this now. So basically i have to edit 2 files to do this... The genericnav. and im guessing i have to put the attribute somewhere around the icolumn external links and the dmnavigation.cfc but i have no clue how to tell inside from outside links in this file. Tell ya what if you can just give me the lines of code to add and to what files, and it works. I'll paypal you something... Name your price, and i'll see if i can get my boss to approve it.
