Created a button to link to URL, need it to open a new window

I created a PDF with several buttons. When the reader clicks the button it opens a URL. I need that URL to open in a separate window but I can't figure out how to do it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hyper Link Exported to Excel - Unable to open in New window

Hello Every1,
My Greetings for the day!!!
I have created a SSRS Report in SQL Server 2012.
There are many columns in the report. But the last column is a hyperlink.
I have applied the following in code in Action properties -
="javascript:void(window.open('" & Fields!DataURL.Value & "','_blank'))"
The above code is working fine, when I deploy the report in Sharepoint and click on the link. The link gets open in new window.
However, When I export the same report to EXCEL and then click the link. It is not getting redirected.
Please provide some solution.

URL Iview is not open a new Window in FireFox

Hi Guys,
After we upgrade our portal to NW 7.0 EHp2 SP6 , we can not open the URL Iviews in Firefox.
It looks like can't force the iview to open a new window and instead it open a new tab , Any suggestion?
Thanks,

Hi Mar,
To me, the PAM mentioned Firefox 3.5 is not recommended for NW 7.0 Ehp2 - Firefox 3.6 is supported for NW 7.0 Ehp2 starting with SPS6.
Anyway, if it works in IE & Safari, I don't think it has anything to do with the portal; it's something in Firefox settings. As mentioned before, did you check the option to open new links in new windows? Also, please checkSAP Note 1296463 and its related notes about browsers to see if there's something relevant to your case.

In Firefox 5 links with target="_blank" don't open in new window or tab. Is there a way to make them do that?

I've search some info about this and it seems like there's a lot of people that are annoyed by links opening in new window/tab and that the 'target="_blank"' is not valid in strict XHTML. I'm guessing this could be reasons why Firefox 5 ignores the 'target="_blank"'. But in some cases you really want to open a new widow, in my case I'm using a flash application and want to open links in new windows from there and then the ctrl-click doesn't work. When opening the link in the same page and then go back the application is reloaded and it's state is lost. Probably should try to find out if there's some other way to open links from a flash application, but I'm wondering if there's a way to make Firefox 5 open 'target="_blank"' links in new tabs.

I don't know how to delete my question, anyway I'm not having this problem anymore. In our organisation the IT department deploy Firefox updates with certain settings and limitations, in the tap-options the checkbox for opening new windows in new tabs where checked but disabled. They made some changes to make this checkbox enabled and now it works as expected if it's check new windows open i new tabs and if it's not in new windows. They never opens in the same tab as they did before.

*.url document type not opening in new window

I've successfully crawled in website shortcuts as *.url document types. However, after displaying the IIS security message, they open in the main portal window instead of opening in a pop-up window like other documents.
Anyone have any ideas how I can get them to open in a new window?
Thanks in advanced,
Anne

If you are creating the links with html (not using URL items) then just include target="_blank" in your link like <a href="#" target="_blank">your link</a> to open a link in a new browser window. If you are adding links to the page using URL items, then check the option to show the link in a new browser window. Note: if you are using an HTML Content Layout template and have applied it to the item region where you are publishing your URL items, then you will need to include conditional statements in the template to check for that (e.g. open link in new browser window) and include the correct target for the link based on what was selected for that item.

Task List URL (to FR Report) opens in new window, but not for all users!

Hi all,
I am not sure if this is the correct forum to ask the question (for me it looks like an IE topic), but perhaps anybody can help me anyway...
In one of our Planning apps (9.3.1) we defined several task lists and tasks that link to relevant FR Reports (URL Tasks). If I open the URL task in basic view the relevant FR Report opens in the same IE Window (in the main frame of the planning app). If my colleague opens the same task the FR Reports opens in a new IE Window.
My problem is that I dont have any ideas where I can set the relevant property. Is that a planning property, a workspace property or an IE property setting??? Where can I adjust the settings that for ALL users the URL opens the Report in the same window??????
Thanks in advance!!!!
Kind Regards
André
P.S.: We are on IE8.

Have you both got the same settings in Tools > Internet Options > Tabs Settings
There was also a bug though I can't say if it is related to your issue
9549216 - Instead of a new tab, a new window is displayed after you create a Financial Reporting task in Workspace.

Links in Mail (Mac) no longer open a new window in Firefox.

When I click on a link in a Mail (Version 4.4 (1082)) message, it simply defaults to the existing open tab in Firefox, rather than opening a new tab and the page indicated by the link. This just started today and I don't know of anything I changed, other than upgrading to Snow Leopard (Version 10.6.6) a few weeks ago. I searched preferences in Mail and Firefox but did not see options.

Hi Barbara,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Also, Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.

When i click a link on any web page mozilla opens a new window instead of opening the link on the opened window?

when clicking on any link on any webpage a new window opens.
Eg. On the bbc home page if you click "news" a new window opens instead of going to the news page of the web.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]] 
 
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. 
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions. 
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

When I open a new tab and type in a URL, a new window opens, rather than the link appearing in the tab. Also, when opening links embedded in pages, these always open in new windows rather than tabs. I want to use tabs!

I was cleaning my keyboard, I wonder if some button got pushed that altered the settings. But when I look at firefox's settings, nothing is obvious.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

Portal 10.1.4 seeded Page link Item type - Getting it to open in new window

I've been working on creating a new portal and am having some difficulty with Page Links. I am using version 10.1.4 out of the box. When I create a page link to another page and click on it, the page always takes over the current window.
Under normal items, you can select the option to display item in new browser window. I do not see this option when using a Page Link.
My questions are :
Is this option to display somewhere else vs. Page Properties?
Has anyone created a custom item type to achieve this function?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Something you could try is changing the way the item is displayed using a HTML Content Layout, this is a great feature of portal 10.1.4 and allows you to customise the region where the items are displayed.
Try this:
1) Create a new HTML Template
2) Select HTML Content Layout from the list
3) insert this code:
<oracle>
if '#ITEM.TYPE#' in ('baseportletinstance', 'portlet_instance') then
htp.p('#ITEM.PORTLETCONTENT#');
else
htp.p('#ITEM.TITLE#');
end if;
</oracle>
4) go to your page and edit your region properties
5) On the attributes tab chose the Html template you created.
the items should be displayed now as links that open in a new browser window.
Hope this helps..
Regards,
Juan

I need to create a button that links to another swf file...

i'm creating my first website, and, for each menu item, i am
creating a new flash document... is this the correct way to create
a multi-page website?
plus: how to create a button that links to a jpg, thanks!
jane

Creating separate swf's these days as far as I know is
considered to be a better practice than using the "scenes" that are
in Flash. The reason is you can load various sections of your
entire Flash entity rather than the user downloading everything at
once.
But, it also depends on the complexity of where your menu
items are leading. If they are simple enough, then there may be no
need to create new documents.
To create a button that links to a jpeg, try this.
Whatever graphic you're using for the button, select it and
hit F8 to convert it to a movie clip. Once it's in your library,
click on your new movie clip on the stage and give it an instance
name in the properties window.
Click the first frame in your timeline (preferably on a layer
named "actions") and put this example in for the actionscript:
//buttonName is the instance name you gave it
//.onPress tells Flash when buttonName is pressed then do
what's
//inside the brackets of the function
buttonName.onPress = function (){
//getURL is the Flash function that will load your
picture.jpg
//_blank is the target. e.g. _blank, _self etc.
getURL("picture.jpg", "_blank");
}

Create a button to link to a pdf

I created a button to link to a pdf but i cant get it to pull up when i click the button. Ive tried editing the index.asp file where the button resides but im having no luck. Can anyone help me?

I infer that you are speaking of a form element button. You need not use a form to do this, just a hyperlink applied to the image of a button.
I am unfamiliar with asp, but in straight html, all you need is an a tag wrapped around the 'button':
<a href="[path to pdf]">button image</a>

Is there a way to create a button that links to a website?

Is there a way to create a button that links to a website?
I was reading up that it's possible to this with menus, and tracks but can you do it with a button and how?
I am hoping to create a button that people viewing my discs on a computer can click on the link and their web browser will pop up and take them to a website.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

dvd@ccess questions are being asked once a week on this forum, so I'll repeat why it's useless:
- Mac users have to enable the feature in the preferences of DVD Player in order to for the links to work.
- PC users have to install a small application on their PC, and they have to reboot the PC in order for the links to work.
- On top of this, it's still unreliable, and may not work on some computers.
It's a dog: Don't use it.

How to create text buttons that link to video?

I've finally gotten around to trying DVD SP, and even though I read the whole manual, it's not at all clear if, or how, you can create text buttons that link to the video you want to play, without displaying a clip of that video in the button itself.
I have no problem creating a text button, but I can't change the font, and editing is counter-intuitive, unlike iDVD. I'd use iDVD, but it doesn't accept .m2v files, and it seems to think that my 6 videos of about 43 minutes each are too large for a DVD+DL disc, so it won't let me burn it or save it as a disc image.
Does anyone have a way out of this conundrum, or am I SOL?
Mulder

It really isn't that hard!
As Drew said, go into your menu and click and drag to create a button rectangle. With the button highlighted, look in the property inspector at the bottom and type in the text that you want to use. Ensure that you 'include in button highlight' and then set the colour choice for selected and activated.
What you get is a simple line of text which illuminates when you roll over it, and changes colour when you click on it.
Once that is done, click on the button area again and set the target to go to the piece of video that you want to have play back.
You should also set the menu call and end jump on that track to make sure your viewer can get back to the menu.
Once that is done the menu will show as a simple piece of text (more buttons means more bits of text, and the first button will be highlighted by default) and no video will play until the button is activated.
DVDSP is definitely a steeper learning curve than iDVD but for very good reasons. You get far greater control and access to far more advanced features in DVDSP. This means that some things will seem harder, whereas in fact they are just different and the process for achieving the result you want is different. Much of what you want to know is in the manual and also in the tutorials which came with the app. Failing that there are several good online spaces where you can find a lot more information... not least of which is right here, of course!
