Re: Opening a menu link in a new window

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.

Formtools is a coldfusion library.  The wiki has some great examples of
its use:  http://docs.farcrycms.org/display/FCDEV40/Formtools+Technology

I am so confused right now I can't even begin to explain. Formtools is
a library that you call in right?  So all i have to do is add the
javascript to...?
      

Or is there way i can just extend an option for link to use the
target="blank" attribute?
      

Im sorry im so lost...

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.

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.

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.  Here's a blog post on how:  http://jakeold.cfwebtools.com/index.cfm/2006/12/12/Farcry-navigation-...

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... Any ideas?
