Hi
Setting the target frame to _blank to open the link in a new window does not work.
Please help.

lol Mario many things that should work with this BC do not...,
I go to
Menus > select the menu > select menu item > add _blank to the target frame box > click save.
It is a footer menu on the bottom of my pages which has social links. Click the link using latest firefox and IE and it opens in the same window.... Does not matter which menu I do this to, nothing changes. It must be I have a very dodgy template or something $1500 bucks and spend mountains of hours fixing basic crapola.

Now you have lost me lol
Why can I not just edit it in admin? If I wanted to hard code stuff I would have stuck with dreamweaver....
Sorry for being a little snippy, I am getting really frustrated with this software. Been trying to build a very simple site now for four months and today I find there is a form on the check out that does not work or soemthing....
Trying to get a bc developer to sort these issues out and not having much luck. At this rate it will take me ten years to launch the site.
Any suggestions?
"Why can I not just edit it in admin?" <<< because you're using menu module V2. If you go to your Home template and look at the bottom you'll find the menu module there and see that it's version 2. Version 2 does not have that feature. You have to add it yourself.
See this doc http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1903 and the childitem.html.
If you want to add the target attribute you need to go to that layout and find this code:
<li {tag_menuitemidname_withid} {tag_menuitemcssclass_withclass}><a href="{tag_menuitemurl}">{tag_menuitemlabel}</a>{tag_menugroup}</li>
Then add target="_blank" to <a> tag.
But since you're not a developer it may be best for you to replace this menu module with a default menu module. That one is fully customizable through the admin interface.

Well that is not really acceptable at all.
I am really not very happy with this template if it does not actually work properly with BC.
What can be done about this? I have spent hundreds of hours and quite a sum of money working with this template and I expect it should work right out of the box.
I could have had a secure shop up in a few days and continued with my perfectly good wordpress site....
Need a fix to this.
That is an odd thing to say.
You using a template that uses V2 menu module option to give you a lot more control then you would if you did not and your complaining?
You will have exactly the same with any other CMS including Wordpress if you do not understand the code.
The instructions in the doc and advise Mario gave is straight forward and easy to follow.
If you can not do this then just go to the templates with that module and use the module manager and insert the module in the older version menu way.
V2 menu's are awesome, can do so much more, great having the more control then you used to
No, of course not.
The layouts are the layout for the menu you call which you specify in the menu. If that is called in templates then the change will be everywhere.
Then you just do the _blank in the admin on the menu as you see you want it (or even do say a rel="" in the layout and use external in the field instead for example) and your done.
I think you need to read through what Mario said to you again as well as the guide he linked and follow those through more.
