Action Links vs. HTML Links - Can you make both open in a new window?

We are creating some reports that and are trying our best to keep them short and to the point. My requirement is that I pull a list of top accounts based on prior year revenue values. That piece is covered. Now that I'm trying to make sure the sales force can get at the details faster I've linked the Account Name field to pull up the account details.
I have done this first using the HTML method and it worked just fine but I found I ended up with a column that had to say something like "Go". Again I'm trying to keep the number of columns down as this is to be a dashboard type report at some point. I simply passed the target=top command to keep the list in the background and just pop open a new window which was ideal as they like keeping the list open behind the drill.
Then I went in and swapped it out to an action link because it looked like I could just have the Account name hyperlinked and it would save me a column. The only thing now is that it seems to want to open in the same window.
I guess my question is that can I either force the Action Link to open a new window when drilled or can I somehow put in an expression into the HTML HREF method to still drill off the account name. I didn't know if there was a way to do this via expressions or not.

There is no such option in InDesign CS6. It has to be accomplished in Acrobat by use of a JavaScript, as I recall. You should ask in the Acrobat forums for more informations.

Where can you make a comment about the new 7.1 software update? I was dissapointed that the photos of friends that normally pop up when they make a call are no longer appearing. Just a tiny little circle with their picture in it appears.

Please help: Linking from PDF to other PDF's that open in a new window... but NOT in full screen mode!?

Hi All,
I have a project where a PDF is viewed in full screen mode when opened, from within this I wish to link to a variety of other PDF's.
Creating the links is simple, however I can not work out how to control the new window so that the new PDF opens with the toolbars and menus, ie not in full screen mode.
Any help would be apreciated, google is not my friend on this one.
LB.

Hi Thanks for the response.
I thought I had, but what seemed to be happening was that the Linked PDF was
adopting the full screen property of the original PDF. I'll give it another
go and let you know.

Deadlock - can you make both transactions rollback?

My understanding of Oracle (11.2.0.3) is that if the engine detects a deadlock, it picks one transaction to rollback and one to succeed.
Is it possible to configure a system or session setting that would instruct the engine to roll back both transactions?
Long story short...I'm being asked this question because developers' code isn't perfect

Hi Raindog,
> My understanding of Oracle (11.2.0.3) is that if the engine detects a deadlock, it picks one transaction to rollback and one to succeed.
It is not the engine - it is the database session itself. The documentation states, that the session is picked randomly, but this is not true in fully manner. The session, that is waiting the longest time will do the statement level rollback and raise an ORA-00060. Why? The timeout for enqueues (in that context) is 3 seconds and so the sessions that are waiting for that enqueue will wake up every 3 seconds and check the lock states. However as all of the other guys already mentioned "a statement rollback is performed" and not a "full transaction rollback". So it is up to your application to react on the ORA-00060 and do something useful (which is not that easy).
> Is it possible to configure a system or session setting that would instruct the engine to roll back both transactions?
No nothing "by Oracle default", but ideally your application reacts on the ORA-00060, identifies the other session and kills both for example (which performs an implicit rollback).
> I'm being asked this question because developers' code isn't perfect
... then help your developers to make it better by explaining the error handling and its following actions

IWeb08; Photo Gallery: Can I have Photo open in a new window?

In the old version of iWeb I had a photo gallery and when a person clicked on the image it would open in a new window. I preferred this to what it does now where a person clicks and they are take to a "review" page of all of the images on the page.
Is it possible to have iWeb 08 go back to the old way of doing this? To open the image in a new window instead?

Curtis:
It's not possible without editing some of the java script files that are associated with the page. Sorry but that's out of my league, and most others here as well. But some of the other members here, like Tom Gewecke, do have the expertise for that.

Can a hyperlink open in a new window in the latest Pages

I am creating hyperlinks in a Pages doc, and exporting as a pdf to sell as an ebook. I have yet to see a way of when creating a link to a web page setting it to open in a new window if they have the pdf opened in a browser. Any thoughts?

Unfortunately, no Pages version has a link inspector/editor that enables the use of HTML attributes, in this case, target="_blank"; that would open the link in a new page (or tab).

How can you make one button preform different actions in Xcode?

How can you make one button "preform a click" and "orderfront"? Is that possible? Because what I am doing is making a welcome window to my application for Mac OS X 10.6, and I have two buttons in that window, one says "Connect" which connects a a WebView to a url and the other button opens up the main window. So how can I a make a button do multiple things at once??

Ah - If you are just using bindings between various objects from Interface Builder, you can reduce your application code a bit (sometimes quite a bit), but there is only so far you can go. Typically variables and routines are defined in your application that Interface Builder hooks into, so that your application code (usually Objective-C, but can be others) can use these variables and routines to determine what is happening in the user interface.
I'm not sure how up-to-date the project code is (or what programming code you are familiar with), but you can take a look at Apple's Cocoa Application Tutorial to see what is (usually) involved in creating an application.

How do I make all links open in a new window?

I have some RSS feeds on my website. If you click one of their headlines it takes you to that source to read the story. Is there a way to make all hyper links on a webpage open in a new window? If not, is there a way to make the individual links open in a new window? The website is http://www.businessfixer.net/articles

Mark,
Target: e.g. <a href=”#” target=”_blank”> is deprecated (outdated) code. Strict doc types will not pass validation.
OP,
Most people know how to use their browsers BACK button to return to a site. Or better yet, right click on links to open them inside new tabs or windows. This should almost always be a user's decision and not a web designer's decision.
If you have all links open in new windows/tabs, In no time at all, user's browser will be stuffed with them which is ugly and can diminish browser performance.
If you need to open a new window on SELECT links, use the Behaviors Panel, press the Plus sign (+) and select Open Browser Window. Repeat this for all links you want opened in new windows.

When clicking on links that open in a new window, the links don't open and Firefox freezes in a way. I can navigate the page I am on but cannot click to open a new tab or bookmark.

When navigating the internet, if I come across a web page that has a link to open a picture or program in a new window, if I click on it, it does not open. Firefox immediately looses functionality in that I cannot open a new tab with the mouse wheel, right click to open a new tab, or use my bookmarks in either the drop down or toolbar to navigate away. I can usually still navigate the page that I am on, for example, (https://loanconsolidation.ed.gov/AppEntry/apply-online/appindex.jsp), when it freezes I cannot click on any of the content at the center of the page but I can still use the links from the list on the far left. For an example of the pictures, (http://www.insect-sale.com/), if you click on "New Arrivals" at the top of the page it takes you to a list of products that can only be viewed by clicking on them. Usually a picture of the item would open in a small window but it does not and Firefox freezes. This has also happen when I try a view a degree audit on a school's website where a program would usually open in a new window. The only thing I have been able to find that still functions properly when this happens is the home page button. I can click on it or use the wheel to open it in a tab just fine, but if I try and go anywhere else I cannot. The only way I can get Firefox back to normal is to use the Task Manager and end the process. Another thing I have noticed, that may or may not be related; is that my Norton Internet Security toolbar, that should show up below the bookmarks toolbar and above the tabs, only shows up about 1 out of every 10 times I open Firefox. Some days it doesn't show up at all. If it does show up and I log into Identity Safe, the autofill for the programed website works, even if the toolbar doesn't show up the next time I open Firefox.

Go to Tools->Options->Apps
Here you should see two columns: Content Type on the left, Actions on the right.
Find and select excel spreadsheet or any other content type in the left column. There should be a corresponding action in the right column. What is it? You can use the drop-down list to select the option you want:
Always Ask - Firefox will ask each time: What do you want to do with this file?
Save file - Firefox will save this file to your computer
Use - Firefox will give this file to the program to open it
In case of saving, Firefox will either prompt you every time where you want the file to be saved, or save it to the default location. It depends on the preference in
Tools->Options->General->Download

How do I make a link to another webpage open in a new window?

Hello Everyone, I am at a loss as to how to do this. I'm not a developer, just someone who updates simple things on my website. I thought I took care of this a couple of weeks ago, but whatever I did it does open the link in a new window while opening it in the window my site is in too, which defeats the purpose. I can't find how to correct this in Help. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Pamela

Select the text you want to open the pop up window
In the Property Inspector, type javascript:void(0) into the Link field.

Additionally, you have quite a few code validation errors on your page that are caused by using XHTML strict document type with HTML style closures. You may want to fix these.

How To Make Links In A .PDF Open In A New Window

Hello,
I am using Acrobat Pro 10 to create a fillable employment application. At the top of the main application, I want people to be able to click and be redirected to another .PDF file I have hosted on my site that they will need to fill out in addition. So, I have used the link tool, but this closes the main pdf application and opens up the new pdf in its place. This is very problematic, because it clears out all of their data in the previous main application. So, I need the link to open in a new window and not in the same one as the original form. Is this possible?
I have tried using the Java work around explained in this article: http://mythinkpond.wordpress.com/2009/11/04/opening-a-link-in-a-pdf-document-in-a-new-wind ow/
However, when I do this, and upload it to my site the link doesn't do anything. When you click above the word where the link should be, it doesn't show the finger pointer and doesn't do anything when clicked.
Any ideas? I greatly appreciate any help...

That makes sense. So I guess it looks like I have 2 options.
1. Put the JS short code in and have it open the link in a new window if the user opens it in adobe. If a google chrome user opens it in the default viewer, they wont be able to use the link at all.
2. Leave the link how it is, and it will be usable in both viewers, but will not open it in a new window.
I am sureprised that opening the link in a new window isn't just an option in Acrobat Pro. I wouldn't think you'd have to make a workaround like this.
Is there an alternative way to have a page link on the form so that people can go to another .pdf whil keeping the main one open?

How can I get embedded advertising links to open in a new window?

I am working with Muse and have tried editing the HTML but it didn't work.
Thanks, Sandy

If you are inserting links as text and then through Hyperlink adding external link , then you can setup the link to open in a new window.
http://helpx.adobe.com/muse/using/creating-hyperlinks.html#id_29862
In case the link is included in any html frame , you can declare target="_blank" which would open the links with a new window.
Thanks,
Sanjit

If using the menu bar, or after pressing "Alt" key
Tools > Options > Tabs, (check) Open new window in a new tab instead
Firefox red button > Options (in right column) > Options > Tabs > (check) Open new window in a new tab instead
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

Can you make a title and let people respond?

Yes. You can add forms to you page which send you emails with the information the visitor put in the form. There are two types, one that you create with Form Action Code that you create and put in an html snippet, Form Action comment form, and more sophisticated forms that are created at a 3rd party site and embedded into a page with an HTML snippet and iFrame code as in this demo page: Embedding Forms & Encoding Email Addresses. With the second method you can set the form to any color combination you'd like. Another example of the Wufoo type is at the bottom of this demo page: QT Movie w/o Quicktime.

Can you make Siri say your name each time she says "What can I help you with?"

Can you make Siri say your name each time she says "What can I help you with?" I have done the "call me (my name) and linked her to my contacts but she rarely uses my name unless I ask "who am I?" Can she say "What can I help you with (my name)"

So is the only reason for her to know your name to have her know you contacts info?
Does she ever greet you with your name?
