| An experience... | August 11, 2012 @ 11:38am | Not really a support request, more an observation and something for my fellow adventurists to be aware of...
:-)
I had a Menu Block setup, with one of the links going to a PDF file. As a personal preference I have my PDF's open in a new window so the user keeps the originating page open and is more likely to visit other pages.
This link opened the PDF in the same browser window causing users to have to press the browser back button to get back to the site.
Knowing that FlexCMS allows me to include live HTML code in a wide variety of places, I thought I'd be clever and include
Code
,target=_blank
(proper quotes removed for the editor)
|

at the end of the link in my block. (all the while "thinking" it probably wouldn't work) Well, obviously it didn't work. But when I went back to delete the link... I was unable to edit ANY links in the block!
I KNOW, I KNOW, the best way to do it would have been to use a custom block and then I would have had a place to specify the extra HTML code... but you know... sometime we take shortcuts and all...
:-{ LOL
The long and short of it is, I ended up having to duplicate the links in a Custom Block and delete the old Menu Block because I could no longer edit it.

Ya now that you mention that I think I've done that before too. Next time we're working in that area I'll see if we can include an option for the link to open in a new window.

| font color code also | December 23, 2012 @ 12:34pm | Did it again... tried getting fancy with one of my menu blocks... I'd added a new page link and wanted to emphasize it by making it RED.... added <font color="red"> xyz </font> and now can't edit ANY of the links in the block.
Should I try it again? Maybe third time's the charm! (not) LOL
Looks like I'll be recreating the menu block from scratch again.  |

Ya unfortunately anything with quotes (pretty much any HTML then) is going to break the JavaScript code of that little interface.
