'Open Link in New Window' not working

Permalink 1 user found helpful
I've created an external link on my site that doesn't show in the nav bar. I don't want it to. But I created it to be able to link out of the site. And I need it to open a new window but it doesn't. But it does not open a new window, Here is a pic of the window.

Did you ever figure this out? I am also having the same problem. Clicking "open link in new window" does not add target=_blank as it should...

Found my issue. I am using a custom template for autonav to generate a dropdown (not superfish) and needed to add the $target to the generated links.

echo '<li><a href="'.$pageLink.'" id="'.$nav_id.'" '.$target.'>' . htmlspecialchars($ni->getName(), ENT_QUOTES);
