Okay, here's an example of the drop down menu I'm talking about:
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/topmen4/index.htm

When I click on the links on the menu, it will open the page on the current window. How do I make it open on a new window?

Where you have your page link like "somepage.htm", try making it

"somepage.htm target=_blank"

This is in your menu_array.js file where you create the various links of your dropdowns.

You MAY need to use full-path URLs -- not sure. If so, it'd look like this:

"http://www.mysite.com/somepage.htm target=_blank"

Oh, and while it's not a big deal, you'll want to put questions about specific Dynamic Drive scripts in the Dynamic Drive forum -- it's a sub forum of this main JavaScript one.

Good luck...let us know if this doesn't solve your problem.

It worked. Thanks a lot! And I didn't know there was a sub forum to this. Sorry about that.
