Hello, I have two questions. I am trying to get to the menu bar files so I can add a hyperlink to the top menu instead of having it linked to a page.

I also am wondering about developer tools of explorer and firebug of firefox, It seems that you get all sorts of css stuff, but all I ever look for in those programs, I cannot find, which is the path to just about anything, like the path to editing the top menu, is this an aspx thing, where it doesnt show you any paths?

Thank you all and Merry Christmas and Merry Xmas, and Happy Holi......I mean Merry Christmas!!!!!

Hi, you don't need to edit the menu to do this. All you need to do is to add a normal page but then change the Link URL in the page settings. Then when you click on the page in the menu it will send you to the URL you entered. The dev tools/Firebug question is slightly out of scope and a bit complex to answer in detail here, but basically if you switch to the scripts view rather than the HTML view then you can see all the client script that executes on the page, including the script for rendering the menu.

Yes, I that, it was good. However, there is no radio button or something in the settings of the page around the url to give it target properties, like open in blank page which I would think an external link would be set up by default, tried to put additional code in the url space but nothing worked

True, there's no way with the standard menu to change the target. What I do myself is to run a bit of Javascript to dynamically add target="_blank" to all external hyperlinks at page load time.
