Not sure how to use the target option in this add-on and can't find any instructions.

Do I enter _blank, _new, etc.?

Yes. I use _blank to have it open another tab. Whatever you want to show for target="option_here" in the URL. I don't know what _new is.

Was there something mentioned of custom icon support?

Thanks. It doesn't seem to work in Firefox though - loads in the same tab/window regardless. May have something to do with my settings...

"_new" was a lack of coffee... "_blank" is a new page of course. Meant to type "_top".

Added: Just tested it in IE9 and it works as it should.

I would never intentionally steer you wrong.

How and where would you add html to center drop-down links?

Beta 4 has just been released

Changes since Beta 3:

• All bugs reported for Beta 3 should be fixed
• Links can now have menus as additional parents (previously links could only have tabs as additional parents)
• The enhanced attributes are now being imported/exported with the product XM?
• I've added a new feature to set URL component for each item

[res6cue]

The Beta 3 zip included cssrollup_navmanager_enhancements.xml, which Beta 4 does not have. Should we delete cssrollup_navmanager_enhancements.xml after installing Beta 4, and are we supposed to upload the navmanenhancements folder into the packages folder before installing Beta 4? Or should we just uninstall Beta 3 entirely before installing Beta 4?

[Andreas]

The XML is still required and was missing from the ZIP.
