Navigation menu with target="_blank"?

I don't think this is an issue for the Go two module, it handles target=_blank just fine. The primary and secondary links, however, don't have an option for them.

I think this issue needs to be moved over to the menu module/core

new features go into devel version.

Put this in your template.php

function phptemplate_menu_item_link($item, $link_item) {
    if (substr($link_item['path'], 0, 4) == 'http') {
        return l($item['title'], $link_item['path'], isset($item['description']) ? array('title' => $item['description'], 'target' => '_blank') : array('target' => '_blank'));
    }elseif (stripos($link_item['path'], '_blank') > 0){
        $link_item['path'] = str_replace('_blank','',$link_item['path']);
        return l($item['title'], $link_item['path'], isset($item['description']) ? array('title' => $item['description'], 'target' => '_blank') : array('target' => '_blank'));
    }else {
        return l($item['title'], $link_item['path'], isset($item['description']) ? array('title' => $item['description']) : array());
    }
}

Explaination: Filters all external links (starting with http), and links where path contains _blank and add target="_blank" property.
Just add _blank to the path of the node and you're ok.

killes was right, but let's set it to 4.7.x-dev.

Is this fixed? If so, please close the issue.

Duplicate of http://drupal.org/node/102669

can someone help us with version 5 syntax? return l($item['title'], $link_item['path'], isset($item['description']) ? array('title' => $item['description'], 'target' => '_blank') : array('target' => '_blank')); is not working on version 5

Did you try 'target' => 'blank' or in other words taking out the underscore? That works for me in D5. For a more thorough look at this problem take a look at my post here about it http://www.nowarninglabel.com/home/node/13

Here is the solution ;-)

Some contrib modules provide this:

• Menu attributes (D7)
• Menus attribute (D8)

Bear in mind there is an accessibility issue with target=_blank. F22: Failure of Success Criterion 3.2.5 due to opening windows that are not requested by the user.
