Along these same lines:
response.menu += [
(T('External Sites',), False, A('Web2Py', _href="http://web2py.com/",_target
="_blank"), []),
]
Gives the expected result of a new tab/window
However, the following loads the link in both the current tab/window as
well as the new one.
response.menu += [
(SPAN('External Sites', _class='highlighted'), False, '#', [
('', False, A('Web2Py', _href="http://web2py.com/";, _target="_blank"
),[]),
])
]
It looks like line #25 from web2py_bootstrap.js is forcing dropdowns to
load in the current window regardless of any target.
jQuery('ul.nav li.dropdown a').click(function(){window.location=jQuery(this
).attr('href');});
I don't know js well enough to suggest a change. Am I at least looking in
the right place?
