    Hello everyone, i need a little help with this issue, i tried the search function but with no luck in the past half hour... i apologize for the dead links but it seems that i'm not allowed to live link to anything yet (as i registered to ask this question today)

    i have this

    http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&t=h&source=embed&msa=0&msid=113344291889000082008.00047aa2cbfc44b26c00c&ll=48.922499,16.083984&spn=26.208611,56.513672&z=4

    google map for a project i'm participating in... when you click on one of the pegs you get a linked photo to each of our blogs. no problem there... it opens in a new window with no coding on my part.

    the thing is when i embed this map into my blog on blogger here:
    http://cue-bcn.blogspot.com/2009/12/cues-en-europa.html
    then these links open in the same window which means people are going away from my blog (what i'm trying to avoid and need help with)

    i tried putting the "target=_blank" thingy in the google maps html editor but for some obscure reason it does not save this change!
    is there any other way to make these links open in a new window once i embedded the map into my blog? or is there something i'm missing? (could it have something to do with the fact they are using HTML5 now?)

    thank in advance,
    Guy
