External Link - not opening

At first I thought it was my firewall because I haven't had
this problem before, but I found out it wasn't.
I've tried three browsers with the same result (latest flash
version) (Opera, Firefox, and Internet Explorer), but I still can't
open external links in flash Example: Weather.com's Allergies
Outlook (it says View Complete Pollen Cast) but the link will not
open (unless I Shift-Click). But links that open in a new window
will open just perfectly, links that attempt to open in the same
window (that are external) will not open, no matter what I try to
do. I've disabled Security software, re downloaded and installed
Flash, tried on a different computer (which worked), tried 3
browsers, closed all running (non-essential) processes.
I'm not sure if this would have anything to do with it, but I
did install Vista SP1, then remove it (it didn't work in SP1
either), I'm not sure about before...
Any Suggestions?
If you need them here are system specs:
Operating System: Windows Vista Ultimate
Default Browser: Firefox 2
Firefox Addons installed (should be irrelevant because it
didn't work in IE, and so forth):
Ad Block Plus, Foxmarks, and NoScript.
Security Suite: Kaspersky
Thank You

I agree with OP. There should be a '''setting''' that makes '''all links that can be opened with an app open in the app immediately '''(or show the dialog OP mentioned).
On a slow mobile connection, waiting for the page to load just to be able to click the icon and open it in the app is painful! It takes ages...

  • How to force external links to open in new browser window/tab?

    Greetings. I'm here because searching elsewhere kept coming up with references to javascript. I've created an interactive PDF with both internal and external links. It works just fine when viewed in either Acrobat or Reader. However, it is being downloaded to users' browsers and when they access the external URLs, the new sites replace the existing page in the same window.
    Is there a simple way for me to include an action in the PDF prior to distribution that will force it to open external URLs in a new browser window or tab?
    And for the record, I barely know how to spell Javascript, much less how to write or implement it. So if there is a simple solution, I hope you can also help walk me through the steps to implement it.
    Thanks a ton.

    There are two issues here:
    - How to do it using JS
    - How to do it in a non-Adobe browser plugin
    The first is pretty straight forward. You use a code like this, replacing the dummy URL with your own:
    app.launchURL("http://www.example.com", true);
    The second issue is more problematic, and in fact there isn't really a solution to it. If the plugin used supports this method then it will work, if not, then you're out of luck. Unfortunately, outside of the Adobe software I don't think that any other plugin supports it.

  • External links suddenly open in a new window instead of a tab

    I am using Nightly (20.0a1) on WIndows 8, I use the program Teamspeak 3 and it used to be that whenever I clicked on a link it would just open in a new tab in the Nightly window that was open, but now it opens a completely new Nightly window. I have the box ticked in settings, I've gone through all of the about:config things I've seen online and nothing works, I really have no idea what to do. I just did something with envoirenmental variables which didn't help (meant that it opened a whole new instance of Nightly whenever I clicked on an external link) so I deleted the variable. Anyone got any suggestions? If it is relevant, before this problem started I dragged a tab from one window of Nightly to another (think it might've been the cause of this), and yes, I've tried dragging tabs around from window to window to fix this and it didn't work.

    Thanks, but I already had it set to that, I've heard of many people with this problem and tried literally all fo the about:config fixes that I could find but none worked, I think it is some sort of assosiation problem with hyperlinked text with windows but I really don't know. Anyone who can help me please do, this is getting annoying. Keep in mind that I have Windows 8 when making suggestions also.

  • Why are some of my links not opening when I save a document as a pdf?  They are opening in word.

    The links are opening in microsoft word documents but when I save the document to a pdf some of the links are not opening.  The links are containing % or lots of extra numbers.  How can I prevent this from happening?

    What is your operating system?  Reader version?  How do you convert to PDF?
    You write that "some" of the links don't open; what's the difference with links that do open?

  • Link not opening in new page

    I have a javascript for an array of rotating logos.  Each logo is associated with a link.  When you click on the logo, the corporate website linked to the logo opens but it does not open in a new page.  How do I get it to open in a new page? 
    The website link is http://lexedfoundation.org
    the code calling the links is
    <a href=" " onClick="clickLink(); return false;" onMouseOver="descript(); return true;" onMouseOut="window.status=' ' " target="_blank"><img src="images/corp.gif" border=0 name="corp></a>

    Gramps,
    I'm relatively new to web development and I'm afraid I don't understand what static address I'm supposed to change.  I tried substituting the http://www.externalsite.com with clickLink() but that resulted in a "page not found" message.  I don't understand what  "http://www.externalsite.com" represents since there is a different address for each logo.  Could you please be more specific?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Links not opening in new window

    I have everything set properly, but the links will not open in a new window, even though the box is checked. What could be causing this. It is very important that some particular links open in a new window. Website is adstreet.com and the link is the Apparel & Specialties link. Any ideas?

    You're referring to these links at the bottom, correct?
    HOME   •   ABOUT US   •   PORTFOLIO   •   CLIENTS   •   TESTIMONIALS   •   APPAREL & SPECIALTIES
    Use the text tool to select whichever text has links you want to have open in a new window, then click on Hyperlink in the Control Strip and check the box for "Open the link in a new window or tab".

    Thanks again.
    Copy and paste would be easier. :)
    I don't understand why they can't add a setting allowing the user to choose in which mode to open external links.

    Hello Raghavendra_RT,
    Is that page on SharePoint, or is that on the internet?
    If the second is the case I would just use a hyperlink which opens in a new tab via target blank attribute:
    http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_a_target.asp
    And you can place it in a content editor web part.
    Btw, with SharePoint 2013 you can use the Script Editor Web Part to embed a form from a source like Survey Monkey:

  • Links not opening as new tabs in Safari window

    I have set my Safari preferences so that when I click a link, it should open a new tab in the current window yet it never works. A clicked URL brings up a new window and I'm constantly merging all the windows into one.
    Any ideas why this preference might not be holding?
    Thanks!

    Unless this occurs for every link you click, the problem is due to the fact that some links are coded in the HTML to open in new windows. In Safari, those links will open in a new window no matter what you do. Only links that are coded to open normally (i.e. in the same window) will open in a new tab when Command-clicked. In other words, Safari is just not set up to override how a link is coded, as Firefox and some other browsers are. Safari honors the "new window" HTML.
    There is a way to get around this without using third-party software. It requires using Terminal to change Safari's default behavior. It's a very simple change, essentially just toggling a hidden setting to the "on" position, and shouldn't cause any problems as some "hacks" can do.
    To do this, simply open Terminal (in the Applications/Utilities folder) and paste the following command:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true
    And hit the Return key. Quit and relaunch Safari.
    If you want to reverse this change, enter the following command in Terminal:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool false
    And then the Return key.

  • External links not work

    Hello,
    I have a word document that has external links. Text that
    links to other page or other url.
    When I convert my doc (word document) into a swf using flash
    paper 2 the links not work. There are still highlighted but no
    linking is taking place.
    please help me.
    Thanks
    Alejandro

    I am having the same problem. At first I thought it was
    because I had converted an excel file but I tried the same
    information from a word document and the links do not work in the
    browser or if I view the SWF file separately. Additionally, when I
    convert the word file to a pdf none of the hyperlinks to pages or
    documents work but the links to email addresses do.

  • Why does clicking on a link not open in a new tab although i have selected this feature under options

    I have selected that links should open in new tabs, but they keep opening in my current tab.

    That feature isn't for '''''all''''' links, only for those links that would open in a new window; no affect on links that are programmed to open in the same window. That preference diverts a new window to a new tab. If you want all links to open in a new tab, middle-click or {Ctrl + Click} links.

  • Links not opening

    Hey There,
    My website Reallifefiction.com has pages at the top, and those pages are not opening. I thought at first it was a page frame problem, but I checked, and all the text and images are below the heading.
    Can someone help me fix this?
    Thanks so much!

    It looks like the nav bar is being covered. Check this - it only takes an overlap of a very little for the nav bar not to work. Move it down from the Welcome To and all the pics and bring it to the front.

  • Links not opening in Firefox

    I'm running Acrobat 8 Standard and recently installed Firefox 3.6.  Links in PDF documents are now opening in IE, even though Firefox is set to be my default browser.  I've looked for a setting that controls this but there doesn't seem to be any.  Is this a new problem with FF 3.6?  I'm not having this problem with any other software containing embedded links (MS Office, Outlook, IM, etc.).
    This only happens when I'm running Acrobat standalone.  When using the Firefox plug-in links open in the same FF tab.
    Thanks,
    Jerry

    Hi!
    Is Mail the only external app that has that problem?
    I remember having a similar issue and that was caused by an add-on who was messing up with the Firefox behavior.
    If this is the case, you should see the same behavior when opening links from other apps.
    To resolved, you have 2 options. Either use Firefox Reset ([[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] ) or try to use Safe Mode ([[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]] ).
    Firefox Reset will reset the majority of your Firefox settings (including the add-ons) while keeping the most important information safe (Bookmarks, etc). In the other hand Safe Mode will allow you to test Firefox with a clean profile and then it will allow you to disable all the Add-ons. If that solves the issue, you should activate the add-ons one by one until you find the one it's causing the problem.
    I hope this helps you.

  • External links not working

    In SSM 7.5 if as Administrator I add external hyperlinks to an objective, what else do I need to do for them to appear to users?

    Cliff,
    If you are still on 7.0 you definitely have CPIP, if you are on 7.5 the default setting is JPIP, though you have the option to change that to CPIP.
    If you go to http:// <server>:<port>/strategy/tools if you have JPIP, it will appear on the bottom of the Tools menu. You use JPIP to restart your services, instead of Windows Services Extended Listener. If JPIP opens, you will see all of your open sessions and can close/restart individual sessions or all of them.
    When you are updating the Responsible party and Associated Links for the KPI, where are you doing this? In the Standard KPI Library? In the Set KPIs section? Because if you have this KPI repeated in several different Contexts, but only added Associated Links for the KPI in one Context, it would not show up in other Contexts unless changed there as well. Changes made in the KPI Library would be saved to all KPIs in all Contexts.
