How can I make the link opened in the new window?

Hi there,
I know that this maybe a weird question.
In our website, we have a unique link which links to other webpage.
In the CMS Desk, I added a blog item under the page if I want to add a new link on our website.
Now when we click the link, it will open in the same window.
We want to make the link opened in a new window.
I tried to revised the menu action- "Javascript command" in the properties of the blog item, and also the webpage. But it's not working.

I would like to know if it is possible to change the action in CMS Desk.

Thanks.

Hello,

Whether is you link within Editable region, you can use insert/edit link button and set your URL with target: New window (_blank) in the Web tab.

However if your link is supposed to be within some menu, you can put following javascript command to the 'CMS Desk -> Content -> Document -> Properties tab -> Menu -> javascript command':

window.open('http://google.com','mywindow','width=400,height=200')

It will open new window with specified link.

I know you said it doesn't work, therefore would it be possible what are symptoms of that behavior?

Best regards
Ondrej Vasil

This did the trick: window.open(this.href);return false; Client wanted to have PDF (or any other file type) displayed in navigation menu and opened in new window. Regards
