in the above url i have made a drop down navigation menu, the trouble is two of the links i want to open in a new window, the code for the menu is here


<td align="center"><select name="site" size="1">
<option value>Go to....
<option value="http://www.ownageoxygen.com">Home

</tr>


As you can see i have set it as target="_blank"> but it still is not working it just opens up in same window. Any help with this?

Also in the two boxes where the content will go, i want these boxes to slide out when a link is clicked on so that the new content slides in, is this possible, or some kind of effect any way, even if its just a wiggle lol:D :rocker: :rocker:

Before we go any further. Are you aware of what your page looks like in Opera??

[cheryl]

Do a lot of people use Opera???

I dont know how to get it to stay where i want it to go?? It stays where it is in I.E

I'm afraid it looks the same as that screenshot in FireFox 0.8 as well.

n e better?

[¥åßßå]

Works for me, unfortunately, you're drop down is also IE specific , so it can't be accessed in FF.

[cheryl]

How can i make it so that the drop down menu works in all browsers?

Also can anyone help with the original questions?

[¥åßßå]

Sorry, just noticed that your dragon pic still overlaps (far left logo and part of text box).

Give me two seconds to look at the source of your page and I'll get the drop down working for you.

[cheryl]

my partner is using FF and on his computer it just shows up as black box round that dragon, with no animation on both dragons, where as ie makes it look how i want it.

Why is it so different in FF and how can i change the coding to get it to work in all browsers?

Lol, one thing at a time !

ok, find this section of your code :-</v:shape><![endif]--><![if !vml]><span style='mso-ignore:vglayout;position:
absolute;z-index:3;left:561px;top:5px;width:95px;height:78px'><img width=95
height=78 src="index1_files/image007.gif" v:shapes="_x0000_s1029"></span><![endif]><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shape

The reason why things look different in firefox is :-
a)It's far more standards compliant than IE

b)Your page has code that only IE can see

You'd need to take all of the IE conditional code out of your page first.

I'm assuming your problem with your pictures is something to do with the files themselves as the same happens here (ie black box & static) but it works in IE.

I'll see if I can fix it, but don't hold your breath :P

[¥åßßå]

Ok, don't ask me why, but, if you right click and save your "working" images in IE, and then upload and replace the current ones, you should find that they work in FF on your partners computer.

lol ok i will try that ty for all your help :)
