Building Links to external sites

Newbie question:
When making a link to an external site, how do you keep your
own page on the desktop. The default mode loads the external page
but does not preserve your page.
Thank you.

Make the link have a target of "_blank", e.g.,
<a href=''
http://www.example.com"
target="_blank">
and it will open in a new window. Note that the target
attribute is
deprecated, and its use will cause a page with a strict
doctype to fail
validation.

Track No. of times link to external site is clicked on a page

Question:
Our client strongly promotes another business on their site with a large button to click through to that business' url, which then opens in a new window. Is there any way in the reporting section of BC that our client can prove how many times visitors have clicked this link? i.e. a way that they can show how frequently referrals have come from them?
This kind of link click through tracking is obviously possible in eNewsletters - but what about on actual webpages?
Answer:
One way you could do it is by utilising the ad rotator module.
You can add the html to it then add the module code to your page and it will report on total impressions and click throughs to the link specified.
Then you can also have data on the conversion rate.
Another way would be to send your visitor to a page on your site that is redirected to the external site automatically. That way you can still track it.

Hi Mario
Just found your post after posting a similar / related question (mine has to do with tracking click-throughs from within a secure zone)
Am interested in your statement
'Another way would be to send your visitor to a page on your site that is redirected to the external site automatically. That way you can still track it'
Could you explain exactly how to track using page-redirects?
Many thanks

Link to external site

Hi,
I have a table with one of the column containing links to an external site. This url is saved in the database.
On clicking the link I want the user to be taken to that site in a new window.
Please let me know the standard way in OAFramework.
Thank you,
Arun

Hi,
Thank you for the reply. I tried this earlier, but the link from the db is an absolute URL and having {@urlfromdb} opens a window with the following url
http://oaappserveraddress/OAHTML/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fig
In the above case, the url happens to be http://www.google.com/ig
This url is not a constant and each holds a different url pointing to external and other internal portals.
I have two things:
1. to open the url in a new window without the base url of the OA App.
2. to avoid the encoding that happens (notice the %3A%2F in place of ://)
Your help is appreciated very much
Thank you,
Arun

Using iWeb, links to external sites revert to the apple site.

I have been wrestling with this for 2 weeks. Even the apple help desk can not sort this out and I have tried all suggestions from the apple support communities so far. When I try to link my web site to LinkedIn, it reverts to apple.live web site. I am going out of my mind trying to fix this. Does anyone have the solution??
Tony

Delete the link and try the following:
Try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home()/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Links to external sites not working in PDF on iPad

I have put a PDF on my server, it has internal and external links.
Most people will download it and view it on their own computers using Adobe Reader.
I was asked to check how it worked on eBooks.
On my Kindle software, (on the Mac) it worked fine.
On iPad, Safari did not let it download so I am viewing it through the iPad's Safari browser. The internal links from page to page work, but the external links to urls do not. The address, when I click the link, adds in my own server url first, then the url I want, eg www.myserver.com/http://www.theserveriwant.com
1) Is there a way to get iPad's Safari to download the pdf that I am missing? I am used to an automatic download on my computer. In that case, I could probably use Adobe Reader for iOS.
2) Is there a way to make the links work properly, some preferences or something to set?
iPad G4, iOS 5.1
Thanks so much.

Frames - Link to External Site

I am wanting to set up frames on my website. I want to have
the main frame link to our chat site that is hosted at another
address. How can I get the main frame to automatically pull up that
site upon loading? It is a simple login page for the chat site.
Thanks

In the SRC attribute of one of your frames put the URL of the

Link to external sites through images

Hy, I'm a Mac newbee. I have to say, why haven't I start sooner.
I try to insert hyperlinks to other websites linked through images I want users to click on.
What is strange is that some of them work fine, others I simply can't get to work. Anyone else experienced this behavior? What can be done?
http://www.gijsen-hendrickx.be/noorwegen
It are the brand logo's (Abu garcia, Penn, ... ) There are more logo's in the blog area on the pure fishing topic.
Many thanks for help here.

Ok, it's a bit clearer. When doing the Layout view, I can see that there are a nbr of "squares" where my text is in. The images (all of them) don't have these squares around them. When I push my apple/command key (to make sure, this is the one just beside the space bar ?) and I try to move the images, I can't.
What I've seen is that there are some fine lines just underneath my navigation bar and and just above the "next" and "back" button on the bottom. (Old Toad) already mentioned this.
About the browser and Iweb. I know that it isn't a browser. What I meant was that if you click on one of the links in iWeb (even accidentically), the work, and they take you to the preconfigured link in Safari.
I there a way I can share the blog page i nquestion so one of you experienced guys could take a look what's wrong?

Adobe Muse | External link to Etsy site | Using original URL

Hi everyone,
I have 2 questions:
01: how to create a link to an etsy online shop
02: URL appearance
01 –> I am done with my website so far and now I want to put a link to my external online shop at ETSY. I also have an online shop at "DaWanda" and that link works just fine. But the link from ETSY isn´t working. I tried many times, copying and stuff. Still it doens´t go to the ETSY site. What could be wrong here?
02 –> And I want that the original URL of the online shop (www.etsy...onlineshop.com) will show up in the browser. But it still shows the URL of my own homepage insted of the ESTY or DaWanda Onlineshop. How can I change that?
Or is that based on my adjustments of my webhost? Because I made the following adjustments:
The real URL (for example: www.myhomepage-hostingcompany.com) of my homepage doesn´t show up in the browser (when you visit my website) because I´m hiding the part "hostingcompany" and you can only see "www.myhomepage.com"
Maybe because of this adjustment at my hosting service (the "hiding option") the online shop URL doesn´t show up either. Is that the reason?
Best regards, Fries

Hi Fries
As you have mentioned you are linking to external site but its not working, how exactly you have linked ? something like "Buy Product" which is linked to external site where Online shop is configured ?
Regarding the URL, the purchase process will show the url of the site it is configured while shopping/Order process, if you want to change this then you would need to do this from your hosting end as you would need to use a redirect link from shopping back to your site. Please get in touch with your hosting provider for more information.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Image Links To Other Sites

I have designed a website in DW CS3 and i wanted to make some
of my images link to other external sites......however when write
the link address in and upload the info then try the link it always
comes back with a blank web page with - cannot find URL - on
it...... any ideas, its really annoying me now. i'm not writing in
css. cheers

As tweaked suggests, the links to external sites should look
like this -
<a href="
http://www.example.com/thepage.html''....
A valid external link must specify the protocol and the
domain.

Dynamic link to an external site?

Hi There
Has anyone any ideas where I'm going wrong here, it seems like it should be easy to me but all the settings I've tried don't make any difference.
I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 on Mac running Snow Leopard and I've set up a phpMyAdmin database.
One of the database fields called 'website' contains a list of stockists website addresses. I want to have a dynamic text link that opens up the stockists website in a new window when the text is clicked. So I'm doing this...
<a href="<?php echo $row_recordset1['website']; ?>">CLICK HERE</a>
This opens up a new window but instead of forwarding to the chosen website e.g. www.external.com
It keeps my existing website url at the front of the link so I'm getting something like...
http://www.mysite.com/www.external.com
Anybody any ideas how I can tell the link to lose the bit at the front?
Many Thanks

Hi
Thanks a lot for your reply, I wanted to open the external site in a new window and hence I have the following path as my URL
javascript:window.open('http://#COL09#','name','height=400,width=800');
This opens the oracle site in a new window , but at the same time my apex browser renders a blank page with [object Window] printed on the browser window.
Can you please tell me what is happening.
Thanks.

When I link to an external site, the link does not work, if I right click "Open in new tab" the link works.

When I link to an external site, the link does not work, if I right click "Open in new tab" the link works.

I have not changed any of my preferences and they look like they are as I would have left them.
I tried resetting Firefox and deleting the preference file, no change.
By the way, I hate that the tabs are on top and not where they belong above the pages they are for. There should still be a way in Firefox to put them back without having to use an add-in.

Link in the video to a external site

Hello, I want to link places in the video to a external site. Does adobe have tools for this other than flash? I was hoping that PP would offer function for this....

I don't believe the video file itself can contain a link. It's usually the player that handles that type of functionality.

External Site Visitor Link in iRecruitment 11i

Dear All ;
I tried to login to the External Site Visitor responsibility using the standard recomended link : http://hostname:port/OA_HTML/IrcVisitor.jsp . but the iRecruitment registration page did not appear . could you please tell me why and how can i solve this problem ??
Regards

There is a seeded permission set (find it via responsibility FUNCTIONAL DEVELOPER), called IRC External Site Visitor Permission Set - code IRC_EXT_SITE_VISITOR_PSET.
This permission set should be GRANTED to the GUEST user. See GRANTS in responsibility FUNCTIONAL DEVELOPER to check if it exists.
This GRANT will allow 'guest' users to access the External Site Visitor jsp page.
