Dan, thanks for pin pointing the problem. I have added plugin WP jQuery Plus and now the documents open in a new window.

Thanks again.

I have a similar question, but I want to open some text in a sidebar. I have an imagemap of our state with the different cities where our schools are located. I have been able to click on the town and the city name pops up, but I’d like it to open in a sidebar with the project summary. This is how I want people to see our previous years’ projects. I am brand new at this so any help is appreciated. Thanks.
