I'm using DNN 4.7 and the beyondcss skin from speerio.  I wanted to open some menu links in a new browser window because they're external links to my site.  So from the speerio site, I was helped by adding a text module to a page and adding this javascript to the header:

[script removed]

So now any link that's not an index of my site opens in a new window.  This works great.  However, now I would like to use a different skin, and this little bit of javascript doesn't work on the new skin (Flux).  I'm not the best with javascript, but is there something simple that I can do to change it so that it will work with my new skin?  I'm guessing that the new skin doesn't use or recognize some of this syntax?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hello,

If you attach the code in a zip file to your forum post we can have a look, thanks,

hello,

It's hard to tell without viewing the original skin and your current skin, but at a guess it looks as though the ID of the menu in the Speerio skin is 'smenu' - perhaps you need to check the ID of the menu in your own skin with the ID of the menu mentioned in the script.

But it doesn't look like it uses the DIV tag. I tried replacing this in my javascript, with all of these tags, but nothing seems to work. Thanks again.

Which I guess

Thanks again for your help.

In the old skin, I can find this bit of code with 'smenu':





In the new skin, the only menu option I can find is here:

perhaps you could attach the original skin code in a zip so we can have a look?

Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it.  Ididn't realize that the code I tried to paste in before didn't work, I had added some comments to the bottom that didn't appear.

Anyway, the attached 2 zip files show the 'old' and 'new' skins.  The .js works correctly on the old skin, I'm trying to adapt it work on the new skin.  I just attached the .ascx file from the skin folder, not the entire skin.  If you need to see the whole skin, please let me know and I can re-attach.  Thanks again!

This forum re-names attachment files, so the old skin is called '171818187454.zip' and the new skin is called '171818187471.zip' thanks again!

ok, looking at the old skin code, a div tag surrounds the house menu with the ID of smenu.

So, the script looks for any links inside the ID of smenu.

Looking at your skin, you are using tables, and this has the code of:

td class="menu-td"

Around the SolpartMenu, so perhaps you could try adding an ID="smenu", or replacing the table with a div with the ID.

Thanks,
