CFGrid that opens external website when clicking on a row.

I have a database that has a URL field. The URL's can be different. This is what i currently have but nothing launches when i click on a row.
Thoughts?

<cfform name="video" format="html" align="center">
	<cfgrid name="videolist" query="videos" format="html" autowidth="no" selectmode="ROW" onchange="getURL('https://youtube.com/watch?='videolist.selectedItem.path, '_blank')">
		<cfgridcolumn name="vidname" header="Video Name" display="Yes" width="150"></cfgridcolumn>
		<cfgridcolumn name="software" header="Software" display="Yes" width="100"></cfgridcolumn>
		<cfgridcolumn name="keywords" header="Tags" display="Yes" width="300"></cfgridcolumn>
		<cfgridcolumn name="vidnumber" header="Number" display="Yes" width="100"></cfgridcolumn>
		<cfgridcolumn name="path" header="Location" display="Yes" width="300" ></cfgridcolumn>
		<cfgridcolumn name="dateadded" header="Date Entered" display="Yes" width="100"></cfgridcolumn>
	</cfgrid>
</cfform>

I ended up using jquery and a few other things to make it work.

Thanks for your help.

Dropping cfgrid for an external lib is really the way to go. CFGrid is notoriously .. painful to extend, and ... like I mentioned, Adobe tends to break custom grid features with every update. So you're better off with another grid tool.
