I would like to know how I can change the link of the top 5 site links block to open in a blank page vs. _self or _parent. It is directing people away from my site and when closed obviously you know the problem. Any help is appreciated.

I'd have to see the code for that block to see if it is possible. Which it should be.

MIke as far as I can tell this is the chunk of code I need to work on, it is in the top-sites Module index.php line 550+ or so. I noticed the \"target=NEW\" in the code and tried a host of other things i.e. _blank etc. No go.

Good luck and thanks

I have bolded the ssection Ibelieve to be the culprit.

target=\"NEW\">

should be

target=\"_blank\">

that "should" work even though you say it didn't

OK..and wait a minute. Didn't you say in your firts post it was a block?
Now it is a MODULE? index.php file?

OK Mike check it out and tell me if it works for you. The top_5_sites block is down on the left. Let me know if it opens in a new window for you

nope..hehe..it opens in _self.
is there ANY reference in the block file?

and also check and make sure that is the only target line needed in the index.php for the module?
