Creating Link to New Window with Defined Size and Cursor Change

Hello,
I seem to be having a problem having a hot-spot link open a new window and perform the way I want it to. I have tried a few different ways of going about this, as described below:
The first method when defining the hot spot was to use the properties menu provided at the bottom of Dreamweaver when I click on the hot spot. When I test the page, the cursor changes to a hand and I can open the link in a new window BUT I cannot define the width and height of the new window.
The second method was after defining the hot spot, using the behaviors menu from the tag inspector. From here, I would add an Open Browser Window behavior using the onClick event. Here, I can open the new window in a pre-defined width and height BUT when I test the page, the cursor does not change to a hand. It just remains the standard arrow.
The question is, how I can define the hot spot to where the mouse will change to a hand when I scroll over it AND when the window opens, it is set to the width and height I want to define?
Thanks,
Smartin1007

Good Morning Gentlemen,
I tried placing the cursor script into the code without success. Either I'm not applying it correctly or it could be that the code in use is a combination of html and Java scripting.
Right now, I converted all of the image maps to the behaviors technique because I need the specific window sizes for the application that is being created. Steve, I am using DW CS4, and a sample of the code is provided below:
map name="Map"
area shape="rect" coords="19,466,56,503" alt="Stage Hydrograph - North Fork Licking River at Mt. Olivet, KY" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('StageHydrograph/MtOlivet.html','','width=915,height=665')"
/map
Note that there is no href reference, because I haven't found a suitable way of having an href reference with target=_blank to where I can define the new window size.
I really appreciate the advice and time that is being taken to help solve this problem.

Black window with white border and cursor location - how do I get rid of it?

I must have inadvertently hit some key or combo of keys and now I have an oblong black window with white border that is annoyingly telling me what the cursor is over and where I can go/ what I can do from there.
How did I manage to turn this on and more important, how can I turn it off?
Thanks.

oops, never mind, found it - VoiceOver .... solved

Reader opens a new window with same file and crashes when trying to print

the wierd thing is that I have two Dell systems printing to the same HP 4015 printer, though when the other one prints there is no problem, and when printing to another printer the same error occurs, any other documents are fine. we've tried the drivers but since the error happens with other printers I don't think its a issue with the drivers or the printers. I did a quick search and found similar issue, though none with any results, if I've posted in the wrong area please point me in the right direction. any assistance would be greatly appricated.
thanks.

if it will be of assistance to any one, the resolution to the issue came when the profile was deleted and then recreated. we came to this conculsion when we created a new user proifile and tried to re create the issue. while not technically a direct fix the issue was resolved. its a hell of a lot better than some of the other resolutions online.

Open new window with specified width

Hi, with Dreamweaver, in the Behaviors Panel, we can open an
HTML file in a new window with specified heigth and width. Is there
a script that allows that kind of behavior?
thanks again!

You can use the very same Javascript function that
Dreamweaver writes, and then call that function from Flash using
the ExternalInterface.call method. Look at online help for
ExternalInterface.call. There is a good example shown there.

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.

In version 3.6 I can not open a website link from original page, I keep getting a new window that is blank and asking me to put in a web address. What has changed with the new version?

When on a page if I click on a web link I get a new window that is blank and asks me enter a web address. This started happening with the new 3.6 version. It seems to have something to do with what I choose for the location in my privacy settings as the window changes with each setting but I still cannot get to the new site. Any ideas? I have no problem with this in IE and I have to keep opening IE when I encounter the problem on Firefox which is annoying.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Open Link in New Window creates an invisible window (visible after restarting).

When I use the right mouse button menu to Open Link in New Window from a web page it creates an invisible window. That is, I cannot see the window but it is listed in the Firefox Window menu. This newly opened window cannot be selected either by mouse or from the Window menu. However, if I quit and restart Firefox the new window appears as 0 pixels wide (i.e., a 1 pixel wide vertical line) and I can select it (by mouse or Window menu) and zoom it from the Window menu. After zooming I can operate on the window normally.

Get Firebug and inspect the element. You'll see that it actually is this:
onclick="javascript:saw.runThis
URL('saw.dll?PortalProperties&_scid=To2OnvCVXpY&PortalPath=/shared/paint/_portal/PoC\x2520FINS&Done=ManagePortals\x2526Done\x253dAdmin');return false" href="javascript:void(null)" FF doesn't even give you the "Open..." options and all IE versions as of 7 show them but actually don't do anything when you invoke them.

I want to eliminate or control popup windows that have no relevance and start with "open link in new window" . How do I control or eliminate. It is a nuisance.

When I am searching the web and click on an item, I get a pop up window that contains 6 choices beginning with "open link in new window". Most of the time this a nuisance and I want to get rid of it, but it follows me all over the page and keeps popping up when I click on the same item again. If I don't want to use it, how can I make sure it doesn't reappear?
Also, another question. Firefox keeps asking me to upgrade to Firefox 3.6.19, but when I try, it will download. What gives? I have a Mac Pro with OSX version 10.6.7.
Thanks,

It sounds that you are opening the right-click context menu, maybe by pressing the mouse button for too long.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/ui.click_hold_context_menus

When I open a link a new window opens with the toolbar and sidebar missing, on my previous machine the link simply opened in a new tab (not window).

When I open a link in Firefox instead of opening a new tab it opens in a new window with all of the toolbars missing including the sidebar, right clicking anywhere gives me no options to restore the toolbars. My old machine simply opened the same link that I am trying in a new tab with all my toolbars available.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> 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).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Force 'New Window' with links?

When creating a link in iWeb, is there a way to force a 'New Window' option?
powerbook g4 12" Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I have an article on my site about this, that involves using Hexmonkey's MassReplaceIt and adding some extra text to the address within iWeb. Although the article goes into great detail about what the HTML does and what is changed to make a link open in a new window, it does not in fact involve any manual HTML editing - the app does it for you! I use this method in iWeb now to get selected links opening in new windows. The beauty of it is that I chose within iWeb itself which ones open in new windows, and don't have to manually browse through a webpage post publish trying to remember which links need to open in new windows.
It's under Articles > Opening Links in New Windows.

How to "open all in tabs" bookmarks including links in second level folders (maybe each in new window with tabs) It opens only first level links... thanks

I mean, if I go to the main menu, bookmarks->some folder (this "some folder" includes a 5 bookmarks and "some folder 1", "some folder 2" each with own bookmarks), click "open all in tabs", then it opens only 5 bookmarks, but I want it to open bookmarks from "some folder 1", "some folder 2" too at the same time! (maybe in new windows with tabs for each "some folder 1", "some folder 2") doesn't matter.
Is there a way to do this? Maybe addons? extensions? Maybe you could add this in future versions...
THanks. It would be great for me and my friends. (they also asked about this)

Display remote topic in new window with remote project TOC?

Although I've used RoboHelp for several years, I'm self-taught and work independently, so would have to classify myself as a beginning user. I'm using RoboHelp HTML 6.0 and Windows XP Professional.
My question is this: I know how to link to a topic in a remote project, but is there a way to display the remote topic in a new help window with its own (remote project's) TOC? I've attached an illustration. Here's the background, if you need it, and why I think I want to do this:
The company I'm working with previously provided user assistance via three printed manuals: a Setup Guide, a User's Guide, and an Administrator's Guide. The first project I completed for them was to convert the information in the User's and Administrator's Guides into a single online help system. We combined the two because their users are generally smaller companies where the "users" and the "administrators" are often the same people. The Help is deployed as a .chm file on the same CD with software updates.
The next step we are taking is to transform the Setup Guide to online help. It will be context-sensitive (screen-level) help for each of the 80 or so setup screens that a new user of their software should complete to tailor the application to their business practices and get the most out of it. Obviously users will need a higher level of access rights to be able to perform or make changes to the setup. However we still want to be able to cross-reference the user's help and the setup help, so that the relationship between specific setup choices and functionality is clear and adjustments can easily be made, if necessary, as they gain more experience with the software. For example, a user feels a need for an additional customer description code on a customer profile page. The user presses F1 to view Help for the page, the Help tells them exactly on which setup screen those codes are created, and they can follow the link to those instructions if they want to.
I want these two help systems to be accessible to each other and the user, and yet retain their separate identities. I don't think I want Setup to appear as yet another book in the User's Table of Contents, which is already somewhat overwhelming. So far I have written it as a separate RH project, knowing that I can import topics to the User help if I need to. Thanks in advance for your help! And don't forget I'm a relative newbie to RH. Thanks!

I got the new window to open up with the new CHM now...
As a follow up, it seems I need to define the new window with
the specific TOC and Index of the new CHM. I there a way to define
a window that picks up the related TOC and Index of the chm that it
opens(in this way, a single window type gets created, so that when
I get a new subsytem, I do not have to keep adding/creating new
windows, which makes me have to redistribute the main system
help...which is what I am trying to avoid)
