Goto URL click box

I am creating a project in Captivate 4 and have click boxes to go to different web pages. When I click the link while viewing the published project through the web, the link opens in the same window. I was able to use the java script that Jay Fresno mentioned three days ago (window.open...), and even though a new window opens, the window in which I am viewing the project goes blank. This happens in Firefox and Explorer. I tried resetting the internet options to open in a new window. A new window does open, the original just goes blank or shows "[object]".

Is there any way to enable the "go to URL" for the click box to open a new window without having to use javascript? I don't care about the size of the new window, I just would like users not to have to restart the project after opening a link and not have to worry too much about internet settings.

Thank you.

Hi there

When you edit a Click Box or a Button, look to the immediate right of where you type the URL. See that little button?

Click the button and choose New.

A bit simpler than JavaScript, no?

AMEN! Thank you. Although I was pleased with myself for having done something in JavaScript and fooled myself into thinking I could post in Advanced.
