Copyright dates are indicated in the template "header.js". Refer to your template help.html for the support links to the specific menus included with your template download.

Note: This update is NOT for css drop menus. If your template includes either a "menu.css", "menu-drop.css" or "menu-styles.css" or a "css" or "colors" folder see: target link support.

This modification is for more experienced users. Allwebco does not provide support for this modification. Make a backup of the "menu.js" before you start this edit.

Adding a New Window Drop Menu Button

Step #1:
Find the following code in the menu.js:

r="'>";

Add this line just below that line of code:

nw="' target='_blank'>";

Step #2:
To make one of the links open in a new window, here is the edit. The about.htm is used as an example.

Here is how the menu code appears now in the menu.js:

+l+"about.htm"+r+" About Us "+c

Now, change the +r+ part to +nw+ like the following:

+l+"about.htm"+nw+" About Us "+c

Now open one of the template pages in your web browser and the "About Us" link should open in a new browser window.
