Browser - links that open in "new" window

How does the Kin handle opening links that open in a new window? Does the original window get "closed" when a link opens in a new window? Or can you hit the back button to return to the previous window? Or can it somehow open multiple windows? Has anyone tried this? Thanks in advance!

I don't have a Kin on me to try this, but I think you can never have more than one window open. It will open in the same window, but yes, there is a back button in the upper left. I hope that helps.

Links that open a new window with javascript:void(null); do not work in 3.1

I've been noticing that any site I go to that opens content in a new window with "javascript:void(null);" will be ignored by Safari 3.1. The links work in Firefox and used to work in Safari as well. Any suggestions?

General rule of thumb in the Mac universe...
When Safari is updated most if not all third party add-ons break. That's because most don't play by the rules. The developer thinks they know how to do it better than Apple so they just do it their way. So the first rule of survival is to KNOW what you have installed on your machine at all times. Use something like textedit to create a document listing all of the third party stuff you have installed and religiously update the list. Second rule is to wait a few days before applying an update. Third rule is to visit your third party developers' sites and make sure their little gadget is compatible with the new Safari update.
Being aware of things will make life much easier for you in the long run.

Firefox won't open links that require a new window to open

Links that require a new window to open for the link won't open. I thought it was a Java issue, but I updated both Java and Firefox without any success.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Thank you.

How to Set Individual Managed Metadata Navigation Links to Open in New Window?

I am using a managed metadata term set for the global navigation in my client's site. Most of the global navigation links point to pages in the current site, and should open in the current browser window/tab as the end user is just navigating within the
site content. However, I have one particular node in the navigation term set that points to related content scattered around other external sites. The client wants these links to open a new window.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to set the target for navigation links in the term set. If I was using standard global navigation, I'd be able to select the "Open in new window" checkbox when setting up the link, but that option doesn't appear to be
supported via MMD navigation.
Any clever suggestions?
Thanks!

I had a similarish requirement at a client once upon a time, they wanted any links that went outside of the intranet web applications to open in a new window.
The way we managed that was to use jQuery to overwrite the standard hyperlink references for any hrefs that didn't point to internal sites to use the same javascript functions that SharePoint used for links configured to open in a new window. It worked out
as being about half a dozen lines; check the URL and if it doesn't begin with a set range of options then overwrite the on click behaviour using standard jQuery behaviour.
If you want it site wide then you just add jQuery and the code snippet to the master page, if you just want it in some places then add a CEWP or a HTML form web part to the relevant pages.

Clicking any tab or portal link it opens a new window

Hello,
We are using SAP EP7 and when we click any portal tab or link it opens a new window instead of opening it in the same one.
What can we do to open tabs and links in the same window?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Yes, it looks like a problem with WPM (WorkProtect Mode).
Have a look at this SAP NOTE : 734861. Incase of of iViews, if any data that you entered needs to be saved, then as per the configuration a new window opens up whenever you click any link. This allows you to continue working with the old window, save the data and thereby avoid loss of data. This configuration can be tuned to make it user friendly.
Also have a look at this thread : New window opens on every EP page click for *some* users
Hope this helps.

First link always opens a new window

I'm using Tomcat 3.2.3 and I have been unable to determine why the first link always opens a new window. From that point on, each hyperlink displays the page in the same window, as they should.
For example, my index.jsp page has a hyper link to the logon.jsp page. The logon.jsp page always comes up in a new window - even though the achor <a> tag is not setting any 'target'. It also doesn't matter if the first page is index.htm
I don't know if this is relevant, but Tomcat is running inside of Apache using the mod_jserv module. (at least I think it is.. I'm not sure how to tell... I followed the instructions at the Tomcat site and everything seems to load fine)
Thanks for any help....
E-

try by explicitly setting the target of the form to the same window.
I think it should work.

I click on a link to open a new window nothing shows up - i.e. if I click on 'enlarge' on an Ebay auction photo a new windoiw opens but it's blank inside.

I'm running Firefox 3.6.13 and if I click on a link to open a new window nothing shows up - i.e. if I click on 'enlarge' on an Ebay auction photo a new window opens but it's blank inside.
Any ideas please? I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, and downloading and installing Flash but no joy.

Firefox closes after I click on a link to open a new window

I had to reinstall Window 7, and of course, Firefox and Thunderbird. Now Firefox closes after I click on a link to open a new window. For example, if I'm in Thunderbird, and i click on a link in an email, Firefox gives me a message like "Firefox is already open, but must close before opening a new window."

Is there more than one installation of Firefox listed in the Programs installed?

When I click on a link, Firefox opens a new window for that link, how do I change this setting?

I am unaware of having made any changes to my settings before this started. The best way I can describe it is that simply clicking on a link causes it to "open link in new window" rather than simply "open"

Link to headline that opens in new window

Hi there,
a short question:
Is it possible to create a "Go to a page" link to a headline in a second document (bookmark) in a new window? I couldn't find this option. I can link to the headline, but it opens in the same window.
Editing (show in new window) the link after creating it leads to the head of the page of the second document, not to the headline/bookmark.
Hope I could explain the point

Hi petrad27605776,
I would like to inform you that you can choose to open the second file in a different window :
Go to 'Tools'- > 'Content Editing' -> 'More Content' -> 'Add or edit Link' -> 'Link Action' (Select 'Open a File') -> 'Next' ->Set path of the file and Click 'OK' -> Specify Open Preference ( Select 'New Window') and Click OK
However when the document will be opened up, it will point to the first page of the document.
Regards,
Rahul

I right click on link, click, open in new window, then nothing happens. Or, windows within a page will not open, for example, on gmail, when I click "details" the window will not open.

When I right click on a hot link, then click, open in a new window, a window will not open. Alternatively, I can click, open in a new tab, and a new tab will open. Additionally, if I'm at a website with a chat feature, the chat window will not open, or, as another example, if I'm at gmail, and I click "details", the window that opens giving the summary of when your account has been opened and the IP addresses it's been accessed from, will not open.
I have on the computer, Aurora too. I doubt that it's a source of the problem, but I had to throw that into the mix. For clarification, this problem is happening while using the Firefox browser.

You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.

When i get a pop up to another link it opens a new window. Can i just keep it in the new window just in another tab?

Need Tabs all on one page. How do I prevent new windows from popping up when I open a new link? Can I have them automatically load to another tab?

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

When on my secondary monitor, firefox will not perform any action that opens a new window (View page source, show all bookmarks, etc).

I'm using Mac OSX with Firefox 5, but also had this problem with Firefox 4.
I use an external monitor as my primary monitor and my laptop monitor as a secondary. When the window is on the secondary monitor, I can't open new windows to do things such as view source and manage bookmarks.
Any solutions or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.

Both Firefox and IE have the same problem. The cursor instead of being a finger when pointing to a link is still an arrow. However I can click anywhere on the page and an ad will pop up. I have eliminated all unwanted bars in Firefox, I ran Malwarebytes until it came out clean. I also have AVG which had detected a few items on it's own. But when I get into Firefox I still have exactly the same problem. Now it will not let me download Browser Safeguard. Usually after one click the pointer returns to normal for a few screens. When I try to click to download Browser Safeguard it keeps bringing up different ads or it tries to get me to upgrade Firefox or some other browser helper program which I know are all BS tactics to get me to load their junk again. PLease help I'm an engineer and pretty good with PCs but this one has me beat at least so far.

Creating Hyperlinks that open a new window

Hi,
I'm creating a website for an art group I belong to.
On the member's gallery page - here - I have each artists name and a link to a website if they have one. I would like the link to open the site in a new window rather than directing the visitor away from the site (leave our site open in a window behind) But I don't see an option for that when I make the hyperlink. Is this possible? Or is this something that the development team should consider in future updates?
Thanks,
Elaine

Hi Elaine
You can enable the option for opening the page in new tab or page.
Thanks,
Sanjit
