-I have a web page with frames.
-My navigation menu orders a page to open in a specific frame
-the page opens in this frame
-on this page I have a link to a "pdf" file which should open in a new
window and NOTin that frame.
-I tried nearly everything but it will not open in a new window.

Any suggestions??
Many thanks in advance
 
Right click on the link and set the frame target value to New Window (_blank).

Hi Thomas
I believe that confusion is taking over.
Please be as kind as to explain step by step - because I dont understand
what you mean with your answer.
Maybe I explained it not good enough.
Here the details:
The page which is opening correctly in the frame has a "option-box" for
different months so that the client can choose statements for each month.
This pdf files should open in a new window. Attached I send you the code from
my "option box":
Maybe you can help

As far as I know, it is not possible to do what you want when using a Drop Down Menu, for a single
item within the menu, but can be done for all items in the menu.

Please tell me how I can do it for all items in the menu. It helps me as well.
I tried before and it's not working.
Thanks

Hi,
Just make the select tag like this
<select
onchange="window.open(this.options[this.options.selectedIndex].value);">
<OPTION VALUE="">Select an Option</option>
<OPTION VALUE="http://www.bellfield-barna.com">February 2005</option>
....etc
 
Thank you very much
