Opening file in a new tab/window

Hi,
I have a form (HTML added through a widget) and a number of images on one page. I want each image to be a link to a file, where the images will be seen full quality. however, doing this takes visitors away from the page instead of opening a new tab/window - then clicking back means that the form data is lost - i.e. tickboxes are no longer ticked, etc.
I cannot use the photo viewing page included in iWeb, as the pictures will then overlap with my form because the enlarged images are loaded on the same page.
I hope this makes sense, and if anyone could help with opening files in new tab/window it would be great, or a way of opening a photo viewing platform in a separate tab/window directly from a click of one of the photos. I have seen other sites - http://www.aroundthebusch.com/Folio/London%20to%20Istanbul.html
(this is not mine) where the photo viewing "platform" is IDEAL. I would love something just like this if someone could advise.
i do not want the photos to link to an external page (which can be opened in a new window) as it would mean me creating separate pages for each picture, and linking them all... no way!
Also, it would obviously be preferable to be quick to set up, but also to change. I would need to have multiple pages of many photos, each with the viewing facilities so it could not take a long time to set up. I may also need to add/delete some photos, so if all the linking work was done automatically it would be fantastic.
Any help much appreciated,
Thanks in advance, James

If you open it in javascript and specify a height/width or location it should open in a new window.
window.open("http://www.adobe.com", "_blank", "toolbar=yes, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes, top=500, left=500, width=400, height=400");

How do I Safari to open a new file in a new tab instead of a new window?

I've been experimenting with Safari recently. One of my primary uses of a browser is to run an application -- yes, run an application -- known as TiddlyWiki. TiddlyWiki is described as "a reusable non-linear personal web notebook," but it is actually much more. Being a non-techie user it's hard for me to describe what it is, and I couldn't begin to describe the many different ways people have put it to use.
If you're not familiar with it and are curious, this is the place to start:
http://www.tiddlywiki.com/ You can learn more about it here: http://tiddlywiki.org/wiki/Main_Page And though it's a bit dated now, you can see examples of some of the things people have done with it here: http://giffmex.tiddlyspot.com/
All that by way of an unfortunately but necessarily complicated lead-in to my question. I usually have several TiddlyWikis running in my browser at once. With Firefox all were accessible by tabs from within a single window. Unfortunately, it appears Safari won't let me do this. It opens each new instance in a separate window, so that all the others are hidden behind the one in the current window. Not very convenient.
So, my simple question: If you have the faintest idea what I'm talking about, is there any way I can force Safari to open each instance of TiddlyWiki under a new tab in the same window?
I appreciate Safari's speed, and the relative cleanliness of its interface. However, and perhaps this is just being stuck in my ways from Firefox, I really don't like the way it handles tabs. I'd like to have the open of telling it to open each new link, application, whatever, in a new tab in the same window.
I have a suspicion I'm not going to get what I want, but I thought I would give it a try and see. Thanks for putting up with my long-winded vaguery, and if you should have any suggestions, thanks for them, too.
Sincerely,
Eric Weir

I misunderstood. You want Safari to open files on your hard drive in tabs in your already open Safari window.
For simplicity, let's assume all the local files are located on your Desktop, and that your home folder is named Eric. Let's assume one of the local files is called foo.html.
Then you should be able to type in the URL
file:///Users/Eric/Desktop/foo.html
and the file should load. Click the + sign and add that URL as a bookmark on your Bookmarks Bar. Then you should be able to command-click that bookmark to open the file in a new tab instead of a new window. You could then do the same for all the local files, and then put all the bookmarks in a folder on your Bookmarks Bar.
Neat. It never would've occurred to me. I'll check it out.

How can I put OSX 10.7 on a new Macbook Air. Maverick no longer allows "open file in a new window" and I really miss it. At the Apple Store they told me it can't be added to the new OSX 10.10 so I want to change the OSX on the new Macbook Air and it

I have been using a 2012 Mac pro to do HD video editing. I bought a new portable Macbook Air only to find that Maverick no longer has "open files in a new window" which I use all the time in the very large folders of video clips and royalty-free music. I asked at the Apple Store how I could get this back on the Macbook Air and they said it couldn't be done so I thought I would re-format the HD and install 10.7 on it and was notified by the Macbook Air I can't put 10.7 on that computer. Apple use to give this as an option but now they have gone more to the attitude of "Do it our way or go to ****!" In anger I went out and bought a Dell Laptop and Pinnacle Studio 17 which I have been learning to use. I have been an Apple/Mac user since 1979 and would still rather do my video editing on a Mac. Is there any way that I can force the Macbook Air to let me load in OSX 10.7 where there is still the option to "open files in a new window" or is there a way to add this to Maverick? The experts at the Madison, WI Couldn't give me any help on this.

Choose Preferences from the Finder menu, click on the General tab, and uncheck the box to open folders in a new tab.

How do I always open email messages as "view message in new tab window"?

Hi, right now my email displays all my messages in a small top window, and the viewed message in a small bottom window. Then when this happens if I click the "view message in a new tab window" button on the displayed email, it will get rid of all my messages and just display the main message in a larger window. I like that. Problem is I have to click that button for each email that I open, and that can be a hassle when I have to open and read hundreds of email messages.
Is there any way I can set the default settings of the email to always open email, by default, as "view message in a new tab window"?

Ok, I looked through the help files and found that if I double click on a message in the main email window (and also click the upper left and upper right arrows to close those windows in the email folder), I almost get to read that entire message in a full window. That's a lot better to know that.

Open file in a new window

Hi All,
I am adding a file item to a folder in a content area. The folder is published as a portlet on a page. Now when the user clicks on the file item, I want the file to open in a new window. I know its possible to do it when you add an URL item where there is a option where you can select the item to open in a new window. But in case of a file item, I did not find any way for openiging it in a new window. I would like to know how to open the file in a new window and if there is a workaround for the same.
I am using portal version 30.6.6.5.
Thanks

Here's a solution for Portal 3.0.8 or later that allows you to open a file in a new browser window. It requires that you create a custom item type, and use a procedure to display a link to the file.
1. Create the following procedure. You can create it in any schema, but the schema has to have select privilege on the view 'WWSBR_ALL_ITEMS' in the portal schema. In this example, the portal schema is PORTAL30. If you're running version 3.0.8, you'll also need to apply the patch to bug 1724250.
Create or Replace PROCEDURE OPEN_FILE (p_itemid IN NUMBER) as
fileURL varchar2(1024);
baseURL varchar2(256) := '/pls/portal30/docs/';
begin
select baseURL | | filename into fileURL
from portal30.wwsbr_all_items
where id = p_ItemId;
htp.p ('Open File');
EXCEPTION
when NO_DATA_FOUND then
htp.p('Document not found or access denied');
when others then
htp.p(sqlerrm);
end;
The procedure generates a link to the item filename with a target of "_blank", which opens the file in a new browser window. Replace the baseURL attribute value with the correct Database Access Descriptor (DAD) and Document Access Path ("/docs") for your site.
2. Grant execute on the procedure to the portal public schema. The name of this schema is <portal schema>PUBLIC. So if your portal schema is PORTAL30, grant execute on the procedure to PORTAL30PUBLIC.
3. Create a custom item type, using the base item type of "File". I recommend that you create the type in the Shared Objects content area, so it can be used in other content areas (from the Navigator, go to the Content Areas tab, select Contents for Shared Objects, Custom Types, and Item Types - Create). Edit the new type and go to the Procedures tab.
4. In the Procedure Call Properties, enter:
[list]
[*]Type: PL/SQL
[*]Procedure Call: <your procedure schema>.OPEN_FILE
[*]Link Text: Open File (it doesn't matter what you put here - it only displays if "Display Procedure Results With Item" is unchecked.)
[*]Check "Display Procedure Results With Item"
[list]
5. Under "Pass Attributes as Parameters", enter:
[list]
[*]Attribute: Item Id
[*]Pass As: p_itemid
[list]
(Notice how you can pass most of an item's attributes to a procedure. You can take advantage of this feature to write procedures that give you precise control over the rendering of your items).
6. In the properties for the content areas in which the new type is to be used, go to the Items tab. Specify that you want the new type to be visible. You may want to hide the base File item type, so users won't be confused by two different item types for files.
7. Edit the folder style for the content area. Go to Folder Layout. Edit the region properties for each region in which you will be using the new item type. For each region, replace "Display Name or Image" with "Display Name". "Display Name or Image" will render the Display Name as a link to your file that opens the file in the same browser window. "Display Name" simply renders the display name as text, with no link.
8. Now you can create items of the new item type. Each item's Display Name will appear next to a link that says "Open File". Clicking the link will cause the file to open in a new browser window.
Hope you find this useful.
Regards,
Jerry

URL Hyperlinks in Acrobat (and InDesign) open in new Tab/Window

I really don't understand, why this feature isn't implemented yet. I tried to google a workaround and found hundreds of posts auround this problem. People where asking how they could do this since 2002 (the oldest post I could find) maybe earlier.
Please make sure Acrobat - and also InDesign - get this feature in the next version - because people want to have it!!!
What do I talk about?
The following feature:
I include a textlink or and Image-link into a PDF-File.
Because of the Standard Browser settings most of the people who download a PDF-File will see the PDF in a Browser Tab. Now, if they hit one of the links (included in the PDF) the link opens in the same window/Tab. The PDF is closed. The only way to get back to the PDF is to hit the return button of the browser or reload the PDF. Normally I would like to open these links in a new Tab or Window. But there is no function nor in Acrobat, neither in InDesign to make the Link open in a new TAB/Window.
I know there was a possibillity using JavaScript (app.launchURL("http://www.MySampleURL.com/someFolder/somePage.html", true);)
and this worked. But now because of the security settings of Acrobat X and later it only works if the user changes the settings. So, it's no longer useful because most of the users won't know how to make the links work.
So at the moment there is NO WAY to make the link open in a new Tab.
I know If I link another file, it askes me where to open - new window or the same. Why can't you implement it for URL's too?
Sorry, I searched the whole day to solve this problem. And I can't understand, why Adobe doesn't look at there customers needs (since 2002 or earlier).

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I click a link but it doesn't open. Instead I get a popup saying "Open the link in a new window," "Open link in a new tab," etc. How can I kill this popup or whatever it is forever?

That happens if the server sends the file as text/plain.
You can see this if you open "Tools > Page Info > General": Content-Type: text/plain
Files send this way will always open in a tab.

Hi jcatx2013, we don't really have enough information on your system to make specific suggestions...
Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

Hyperlink + ctrl click opens the page in new tab in my website. it should open it in the same window of my website

When i do a ctrl+hyperlink click in my website running in firefox, it opens up in a new tab, I dont want the ctrl+hyperlink click to open in new tab or new window. It should open in the same browser. (works as required in IE 7)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Ctrl+left click on a link or bookmark will open in a new tab. That is a standard Firefox keyboard shortcut. Middle-click will do the same (Middle-click = press the scroll wheel). On the following page, scroll down to "Web Navigation" or Find (Ctrl+F), enter "Ctrl+lef" (without quotation marks) in the Find box. Read the footnote 4 about how to change from background tab to foreground tab.
See: http://www.7is7.com/software/firefox/shortcuts.html
To open a link or bookmark in the currently active tab, simply click on the link or bookmark. Your current tab will be over-written with the new link or bookmark.
The following page shows the shortcuts for IE7. Click "Working with tabs". It shows Ctrl+click will "Open links in a new tab in the background" and on the next line, it shows CTRL+SHIFT+click will "Open links in a new tab in the foreground".
See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Internet-Explorer-keyboard-shortcuts#

Hello David.
It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there.

Want to open links in a new tab not a new window.

When using a mouse I know I can middle click (wheel) and the web-link I am clicking will open in a new tab. I also know I can drag that link to the + sign on the tab bar and it will open. But while using the Keyboard only, when I want to open a webpage link in a new tab, it always opens in a new window, why?
I noticed while searching in Mozilla Support that hitting any box opens in a new tab ( this is the effect I want) why does this not happen on other webpages?
I may be answering my own question here but could it be the one 'NewsNow' website that is causing my problem?

The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs: "New pages should be opened in": "a new tab/window" is for links that specify a target window for opening a link.
The browser.link.open_newwindow pref only affects links that specify a target window.
You can use the browser.link.open_newwindow pref to divert links that specify a target to the current tab or a new tab.
The browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction pref allows to divert (onclick) JavaScript window.open() links.
Links that do not specify a target always open in the current tab unless you override that with a middle-click or Ctrl (Mac: Cmd) left-click (new tab) or Shift left-click (new window).
There are also extensions that have options how a link is opened, so you can check out the Add-ons website.

Open link in new tab/window problem

I have the following problem: I have a menu with h:commandLinks and I use faces.config configurations for my navigation. When I choose to open a menu entry in a new window or a new page the old page is displayed and I have to click again on the menu entry in order to navigate to the new page.
Does anyone know what is causing this? How could I make it work so that the user gets the content of the desired page in the new tab/window?
Thanks

Hi,
sorry for the late response. I have h:messages on the page and I don't get any errors. I try to open the link so: right click on the link and then I choose "Open Link in New Tab" or "Open Link in New Window".
If I simply click on the link everything works fine and the new page is displayed but when I use the right click menu the same page is displayed and I have to click again to obtain the desired page.
thanks

Can't open Youtube videos with a left click. Have to open in new tab/window to view.

When on Youtube, I can't open videos by clicking on them when in the search result page. I have to open them in a new tab or window. All other elements work on the page. Once the video is open in the new tab I am able to play it. Embeded links work. It is only on Youtube itself. Fine in Safari. Only experiencing this in Firefox.

Tip Message with hyperlink to open in new tab/window

Hi Guys,
I have created a FND Message which has the following content:
some text <a href="https://www.google.co.uk"target="_blank">Click Here</a> some more text
This is referenced in a custom OAF page as a Tip Message (OATipBean), the text and hyperlink render with no issues, however the hyperlink does not open in a new tab/window (it opens in the current tab) - when you view the source of the page the '...target="blank"...' is not there:
... <a href="https://www.google.co.uk">Click Here</a> ...
Is there a way of getting hyperlinks in Messages to open in new tabs/windows?
Regards
Carl

I think part of your problem might lie in the way you are trying to use your quotation marks. It appears you are trying to have the single quotes do what double quotes should be doing.
document.write("<a href='"+imagelinks[ry]+"' target='_blank'><img src='"+myimages[ry]+"' border='none'></a>
If you want to have doublequotes appear in code as doublequote characters you can try slashing them to have them read literally... \"
document.write("<a href=\""+imagelinks[ry]+"\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\""+myimages[ry]+"\" border=\"none\"></a>
