Re: Opening a menu link in a new window

by Selfprodigy :: Rate this Message:

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?
