Hi, I have been playing around with the [size=2][font=Verdana][size=4][color=#003366]\*\* XML-Driven\*\* Drop-Down Menu - [/color][/size][/font][/size]which I have to say a great tuturial, just have a question…

How would I include target="\_self" (or its equivilent) so the links would appear in the same browser window?

below is an example of the xml I’m using…

Thanks in advance for reading/helping :thumb:
