jscookmenu usage - external link

[Boeckli, Dominique]

this problem was mentioned already but never answerend. 
Coding this:

 <%/* Need a new version of MyFaces for this external link action to function */%>
    <t:navigationMenuItem id="nav_53"
           itemLabel="Apache MyFaces Home" action="" /> 

 
Results in following link: ahttp://myfaces.apache.org/
I am using one of the latest nightly build. Got the same problem with the official distribution.
