Bookmark linking to external website

Hi everyone,
I have a list of bookmarks that were created automatically from a table contents when I exported an indesign file to pdf. I need to manually add another bookmark in the pdf which I was able to do but I also need this new bookmark to be a link to an external website.
I wondered if it was possible to do this and if so how I'd go about it?
Appreciate any advice.

It is, but only if you do it using a script, not through the built-in "Open a web link"-action. Add a "Run a JavaScript"-action with this code:
app.launchURL("http://www.google.com", true);
Of course, you can change the URL to whatever you want.

Links to External Websites Appearing in my Project

Hi,
Got a strange one here . . . it may be network related I guess, but I'm not sure.
I recently finished work on a large WebHelp project. When I outputed it to HTML I noticed that certain words have been 'hikacked' and used as links to external websites - webopedia.com being the most common:
<p class="DocsNormal" align="justify">Federated Instant Messaging (IM)
<a href="http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/F/network.html"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">networks</span></a>
allow communications across a variety of different IM <a href="http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/F/client.html"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">clients</span></a>
and <a href="http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/F/platform.html"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">platforms</span></a>.
A Federated IM network, has an open <a href="http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/F/directory.html"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">directory</span></a>
allowing other IM networks to message their users. Federated IM networks
often communicate using open standards, such as <a href="http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/F/XMPP.html"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">XMPP</span></a>.</p>
It's almost as if Google Adwords or some other site has taken over my document. These are certainly not links that I have put in; I generally only link to other pages within the same document and hardly ever go out to other sites. The only external links I have added to the project are for legitimate sites (Adobe and Avaya).
Has anybody else experienced this, and does anybody know how to stop it happening?
Any help or advice would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Alex

Hello again Alex
Okay, question here. The document you say is exhibiting the issue, did you create that document yourself? If not, then perhaps whomever created the document to begin with added these links.
I suppose that you could troubleshoot this by creating a fresh document. If the fresh document doesn't have the mysterious links, you can rule out any automated and nefarious forces at play. But if creating the document DOES seem to contain the links, you have other issues at play here that warrant further and deeper investigation.
By the way, is this content originating from a Microsoft Word document or is it just basic HTML pages?
Cheers... Rick

I cannot open mailto links in external websites.

when I click on an email link in some websites, it says there is no application to open the mailto link. I went through the help menus, where I am asked to find the mailto feature and add an application. There is no mailto feature listed, so I can't link an application. It seems my firefox has no knowledge of mailto. I don't get a yahoo pop-up as others do. What do I do? I have Firefox 20.0.1and gmail and windows 7.

See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Changing+the+e-mail+program+used+by+Firefox
You can check the network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs on the about:config page.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
If network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs are user set (bold) then right-click and Reset them to the default value.
You can also try to change the network.protocol-handler.warn-external.mailto pref to true.

Creating a link to external website

Hello all,
Could anyone confirm if its possible to create a link to mobile me gallery without creating a photo page with the mobile me gallery link on it?
EG: I have the pages: Home, About me, Photos. I would like to link the photos page so it goes directly to my mobile me gallery instead of open the photo page.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Rob

Rob ~ Yes, it's possible...
In your empty Photos page add an HTML Snippet with the following code:
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.window.location = "http://gallery.me.com/wintersgrass"; // change this to your own URL
</script>
...Once published, clicking on "Photos" in the navbar will immediately redirect to your MobileMe Gallery page. (Thanks to Cyclosaurus for the code).

Command Link inside table to external website in popup window

Hi,
I am trying to have a command link inside a table which is on the tables id. I know that if I have control of the destination page I can use setCurrentRowKeyValue. However I do not have control of the external website. So I cannot add it into my faces-config.xml file? I have tried putting a GoLink and a GoButton but I get the following Illegal character in fragment error, when I put my destination URL in. An example of the format the URL is:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio?&music=#{row.PrimaryKey}&adf=123
Where I am adding in #{row.PrimaryKey} which is the Id of the row. I would like to have the new page opened into a pop up window if this is possible.
I am not sure if this can be done in the backing bean or whether my approach is the correct one?
Many Thanks
Steve

something like...
<af:goLink text="#{row.PrimaryKey}"
destination="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio?&music=#{row.PrimaryKey}&adf=123"
targetFrame="_blank"/>Regards,
Neeraj

Firefox unable to connect: bookmarked or previously visited websites connect, and some others, but new links or even pasted or typed in addresses don't, mac os10.5

For some reason, since this morning, any bookmarked or previously visited website works, and some others But new links or even pasted or typed in addresses don't. Must.figure.this.out! I don't have extra firewalls/security other than the standard mac ones and have restarted the computer and also rebooted all devices. Operation is safe mode has same results. Cleared cache and cookies.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Brian

Hello.
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. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

Why, after selecting it as a link to an external website, does the word disappear under a black box

I would like to create a link to an external website. But when I select the words and then type the url containing http:// in the "Link" field, the words disappear under a black box. How do I correct this?

Hello Nancy O:
Without the link applied, the page looks fine in the browser. But I am trying to figure out what is going on in the CSS file that would cause this. When I move the mouse over the design view, I notice that outlines forming boxes appear. They overlap the text that I want to create a link with. I tried deleting a box that overlapped the text, but doing so didn't work. I tried increasing the z index, but that didn't work. I tried applying an id instead of a class, but that also didn't work. I'll keep working on the css file. Thank you.

Track PDF Downloads without having to click a link - external website

We want to track how many people download a particular document (pdf) on our external facing publishing website. The PDF url is contained within a paper-based invoice they receive in the mail. They then type in the URL to download the PDF brochure.
Therefore, they are not clicking a link anywhere on the website but going directly to the PDF.
We use Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager on our external website but they only track link clicks and not direct downloads of PDFs.
Is there any way to find out how many times a PDF is downloaded directly?

Sure, check out the iis log files or write some code that does that and counts the specific pdf downloads. I've written something that reads iis log files, maybe it can inspire you:
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/The-SharePoint-Flavored-5b03f323
Or, you can use the MS LogParser tool to analyze the iis log files

Wording has links to external, possibly phising / spam, Websites

Good day. I have a slight concern.
I have read about a guy's similar problem he had with his email, but I seem to have it when normally browsing and then also something else apart from the "Question".
When browsing all websites using Firefox 19.0 (apparently my Firefox is up to date when I do an update check) {seems its not}, random words are highlighted, and when you hover over them, it gives a small pop-up to external websites, such as Insurance and XXX Content. I have been using Firefox for a very long time now, and never seen this before since recently. I do a virus and malware check regularly, and I have check of any extensions that may cause the problem (Have only Google Search as an extension). This is very annoying. My concern also, I have done some website development before, and now some of my work also has these Highlighted contend, which is confusing, as I have linked some words to additional internal pages. One of my big clients' website has these highlighted text as well, and some of these links link to XXX content, whats going to happen if a potential client of theirs (with little understanding of IT) sees these links (when using Firefox) arent they going to think {this people supports XXX Content} to gain revenue from advertising, wont this put them into a BAD light?
Apart from my PC, i also have installed a virtual machine, with no other programs installed but Firefox, and it does the same!
Question 2: A Specific Website I developed, seems to freeze when Installing Java Scripts, as It seems FF cant load the content. The script is just a basic Conveyor Belt animated Banner!

How to pass a report value to an external website URL??

Hello,
Clicking on one of the fields in a report needs to take me to an external website and should pass the value of the field to the URL
Example:
1. Let's assume external site is http://www.abc.com
2. The values in a column in my report range from 1 to 1000.
3. When I click on say value 21 in my report, the URL formed should be http://www.abc.com/21 and should open in a new browser. Similary, when I click on value 994 in my report, the URL should be http://www.abc.com/994
Note: I have created reports before and linked them(passed parameters) sucessfully to other objects(forms,reports) etc.. But, haven't passed parameters to external websites before!
Would really appreciate if anyone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks

Hyperlink from MY website to a specific area on EXTERNAL website

i was hoping to use an HTML snippet to accomplish this on iWeb. i've spent several hours on google, and this forum too but found NOBODY addressing this:
i need to create a hyperlink from MY website to an external url. the external page needs to open at a very specific area on the page. i see that this is done on hand-coded websites.
most iWeb discussions were about hyperlinking to lower down on the same page or within the same website where 'anchors' can be used. obviously that can't be done when linking to an external website.

Cyclosaurus i appreciate your quick advice.
the external site i am targeting is:
http://www.tcg.org/international/events/festivals.cfm
scrolling down the page, i want to land on this sub-headline beginning at "Rome, Italy"
i.e.
Rome, Italy
IL VATICANO CADE: The English title of this play by American writer Frank J. Avella is Vatican Falls, but the fi............
if that site is coded so that it can work, i would so greatly appreciate it if you can indicate the actual HTML to put inside the snippet --- i'm an artist, and the rigid 'science' of code is always a challenge. thanks again

HTML link from external html page to link to a frame in swf

Hi
I am trying to set up something to should be fairly basic to
do .. but I cannot get it to work.
Need a link from another website to link to a frame label or
number in my flash movie.
Something like this ..
<a href="mySwfPage.php?label=labelnamehere&">Click
here</a>
My guess it will not work because I have several stop
functions and a preloader in the 1st frame not allowing the href
link to jump to the frame name I want.
Here is the page I am trying to apply this to -
http://www.mloudesign.net/tampico/index.html
We need for an external link to link to the espanol label so
that would start first, otherwise the english version plays 1st.
In case this helps this is the preloader I am using in frame
#1 ..
onClipEvent (load) {
total = _root.getBytesTotal();
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
percent = int(loaded/total*100);
text = percent+"%";
gotoAndStop(percent);
if (loaded == total) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
~mlou

he! I'm not alone in my desperation. Take a look at my problem:
I've got a JEditorPane (not editable) inside a JFrame. The JEditorPane is loaded with the HTML text and all the links to anchors are working properly when I click on them.
BUT
If I try to go to an anchor from outside this JFrame I can see how the JEditorPane scrolls to the right anchor and suddenly it scrolls back to the place where the caret was located!!!
The "funny thing" is that my code is working in jdk1.3.1 but this is happening in jdk1.4.2. Is it a bug?!?!?!
How could I figure out what position I have to set the caret to for every anchor in order to get the scroll working correctly???
My implementation of hyperlinkUpdate (working properly, here isn't the problem):
   jEditorPane.addHyperlinkListener(new HyperlinkListener() {
      public void hyperlinkUpdate(HyperlinkEvent e) {
        if (e.getEventType() == HyperlinkEvent.EventType.ACTIVATED) {
          MiEditorPane src = (MiEditorPane)e.getSource();
          src.goToAnchor(e.getDescription().substring(1));
    });My object jEditorPane is an instance of this class:
class MiEditorPane extends JEditorPane {
    MiEditorPane() {
      super();
    public void goToAnchor(String anchor) {
      super.scrollToReference(anchor);
}And this is the method I call from outside the JFrame containing the JEditorPane:
public void goToAnchor(String anchor) {
     jEditorPane.goToAnchor(anchor);
}Any help greatly appreciated ...

Adding a Bookmark Link

Hello,
I've been looking all over for how to create a bookmarking link for IE7 using Flash CS4 Action Script 3.
I'm creating the button using the following code:
BookMark_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,gotoBookMark_mc);
function gotoBookMark_mc(event:MouseEvent):void
URLLoader ("javascript:window.external.AddFavorite ('http://www.actionscript.org/','ActionScript.org Flash Resources');");
I get the following error when I click the link straight from the SWF file:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "javascript:window.external.AddFavorite ('http://www.actionscript.org/','ActionScript.org Flash Resources');" to flash.net.URLLoader. at 2_PCSP_Sharepoint_Intro_WT_fla::MainTimeline/gotoBookMark_mc()
I published the SWF and the Index.html file, then accessed that .html file from my web server, but no luck.
Any ideas on how to do this?
Thanks in advance.

you should really use a javascript function that tests for, at least, some common browser types. and, you should use the externalinterface class to call that javascript function. so, for example:
<script language="JavaScript1.2" type="text/javascript">
function bookMark(url,title) {
    if (window.sidebar) { // Mozilla Firefox Bookmark
        window.sidebar.addPanel(title, url,"");
    } else if( window.external ) { // IE Favorite
        window.external.AddFavorite( url, title); }
    else if(window.opera && window.print) { // Opera Hotlist
        //etc }
</script>
could be placed in your embedding html and you can use the following actionscript:
BookMark_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,gotoBookMark_mc);
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
function gotoBookMark_mc(event:MouseEvent):void {
    ExternalInterface.call('bookMark','http://www.actionscript.org/','ActionScript.org Flash Resources');
