I am creating a sub menu to some external sites. I thought I was doing the right thing… just check the box to open the page in a new window… But it is not working. I hope @dan might be able to help me. I opened the code and I can see the rel="" I edited the code to rel=“external” and it all works. But this is site wide and a pain to fix…any ideas? ---

Ah @joemart1951 - it depend on the theme. Sometimes there’s a JS clash. What theme are you using? You could add `target=_"blank"` to your links … but might take a while if you have a few and site wide as you say Ref: [https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att\_a\_target.asp](https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_a_target.asp) ---

In a quick test open in new window links work in Foundation (and RW8) so it might be another Stack on the page clashing…? Not sure. Can you share a test link / staging page for others to take a look? ---
