Did you ever figure this out? I am having the same issues with my site. It is a bit of a hassle to go into the skin and upddate / change a link manually just so that it can open in a new window. Any body got any other ideas as I have tried all the methods described (except the hard coding into the skin - thats my last resort) and its no good. Cheers

No, I never got a good solution for this.  Apparently the only way is to edit the code.  It seems to me that this is some truly basic functionality for DNN that really ought to be in there.  How hard would it be to add a checkbox:

[] check here to have the URL open in a new window

and then add the target=_blank when the user checks it?

You can put anything in your skin that you would put in a normal HTML page.
If you don't have to change the size of the pop-up I would use:

link

Then it won't be blocked by pop-up blockers...

Ths disadvantage is that you cannot edit the link in DNN.

You could also use a links module there you can set the link and check the "Open Link in New Browser Window" option.

But is renders a table that is not easy to style for multiple browsers.

Heres my code from the Horizontal Menu - Full Width.ascx file, around line 33:

<TD width="100%" vAlign="middle" align="left" nowrap><dnn:MENU runat="server" id="dnnMENU" /><a href="http://www.google.com" target="_BLANK">G</a></TD>

What happens when I do this is that the G hyperlink appears on the next line instead of on the line with the menu.  It also doesn't match the menu at all.  Is there a way to make it on the same line and match the menu?

Thanks,

Mike

I'm not one of the developers, but the you should imagine that there are 500 "how hard can it bee" questions a week. And the issue is more difficult then it seems, because you probably want the pop-up to open in a specific size.... Then only target="_Blank" is not enough
I do agree that it would be nice to have a menu link open a page in a new window...

You would have to make the extra link look the same as the menu using CSS.
Some suggetions.

Look for the (highest) block (div / table) around the menu (the class will be "something"_dnnMENU) and set

float:left

Then the link should be next to it.
You will have to style the rest also using CSS

You could also add a Links module to your page (next to the menu)
Then you can select a "Open link In New Window" option and add just one link.
(but there is no option for the size of the new window)

Hope I am the bearer of good news.....

I have a little work around (kindly provided to me by a good friend). Note I say work around, not a solution. Use the following script in the url box when you create your new page and make it a link to an external resource. You can also set the size of the new window (and any other options as you would normally in Jscripts). Works for me (IE7 at least) so I will have a beer and hope it works for you......

http:// window.open('https://WWW.MICROSOFT.COM',width=600,height=600);

Cheers big ears.
