External link opening in a loop

Hi all,
We have a requirement of adding an external link as a new area under the 'Overview' in the Home Page Framework for ESS.
I carried out the following steps -
- Create a z-resource for the url, in window name mention u2018_blanku2019. In the url path mention the url of the link to be called. Eg. Http://www.google.com.
- Create a z-area.
- Assign z-area to area group page (SAPDEFAULTESS_ERP2005).
- Create a z-subarea.
- Assign z-subarea to z-area.
- Create a z-service, mention u2018service typeu2019 as u2018direct URL launched in separate windowu2019.
- Assign z service to the z-subarea
- Go to content admin and do the following settings :
o create a new iview using the i-view template.
o Select template SAP WebDynpro i-view
o Select application type as u2018WD fo Javau2019.
o Enter application name as u2018sap.com/pcui_gp~xssutils/XssMenuAreau2019, namespace as u2018XssMenuAreau2019, and application parameter
as u2018sap.xss.menuarea=ZNEWAREA&sap.xss.menuargrp=SAPDEFAULTESS_ERP2005&sap.xss.menuhdr=SAPDEFAULTu2019
Where,
 sap.xss.menuarea will be the name of New Area you will create in SPRO,
 sap.xss.menuargrp is the name of Area group as in SPRO and
 sap.xss.menuhdr is the name of header as given in SPRO.
o Change u2018open in new windowu2019 property of the iview to u2018Nou2019.
o Create a WD proxy page and add the iview as a delta link to the page.
- Now create a workset, and assign the page to the workset
- Add the pcd link of the page to the resource in spro.
I have done these settings in both our sandbox portal as well as our development portal. The link is opening correctly in the sandbox portal.
However, the link is opening in a loop that takes us to u2018Overview' page over and over again in the development portal.
We are unable to point out the cause of this difference in behaviour between the two portals inspite of the same settings.
Any pointers on how we can rectify this issue will be appreciated.
TIA.

Dear varkgirl:
Thank you very much for your help and valuable suggestion.
I've tried your suggestion but ran into some problems. The links I am trying to open in another window are actually PDF files that the viewer can download from my website.
Since I was having problems I decided to try something else. After publishing the website to my desktop I then opened the pages where the links are in Dreamweaver. The layout view is great and displayed the image just the way it appears on the browser's window. I first selected the "link button" to the file and then in the inspector windows (bottom of the page) I chose under target the "_blank" option. This tells the software that the linked page or file is to be opened in a new blank browser window. I then saved the page (re-saved it over the existing file) to incorporate the changes. After this I proceeded to navigate through the website and everything works great.
Thank you for your help and suggestions. I just thought I would post this here in case it may be of help to you as well as others.
Best regards,

I've migrated FF settings to a new PC and no external link opens now

Couple days ago I've received my new PC and migrated all important data from the old one using a special W8 tool. I've also installed Thunderbird and FF anew, and migrated their setting using tools recommended here (FF Sync + MozBackup). And suddenly I've lost a possibility to open any external link in FF now no matter the source (Thunderbird or any other piece of software). Now I have to copy and paste URLs manually. It's not the best solution. Old PC OS: Vista Business, new PC OS: W8.1. Thanks in advance.

You may also wish to try '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' before a reset to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

External links open a new tab but do not try to load the page

When I click on a link outside of Firefox, FF opens a new tab and the URL is loaded into the address bar, but FF makes no attempt to actually load the page. I have to click on the address bar and then the green arrow. FF then loads the page with no problems.

Finally found toolbar settings and unchecked the box.
All is well. Thanks for taking time to answer.

External links in TOC not opening in separate instance of IE after convert to RH7

We converted our FlashHelp project from RoboHelp 6 to
RoboHelp 7. External links in table of contents were set in the
Advance tab to open in a New Window. This worked fine in RH5 and
RH6 but when converted to RH7, the external link opens in the topic
pane.
Links within topics that link out to external web pages or
documents are set to open in New Window and these work fine.
Why would the Advance option for New Window work differently
as a hyperlink in a topic vs. a link from the table of content? How
do I fix this? Don't see any documentation in help system.

fixed via in one of the releases to RH7

Clicking external links switches to Firefox but won't open

I use Thunderbird (31.1.2) on a Mac (OS X 10.9.4). I frequently need to proof e-mails that contain a number of links (for a digital marketing campaign). When I click a link in the e-mail, Firefox (32.0.3) opens or becomes active, and if I have NO other tabs, will open my link. But when I switch back to Thunderbird, and click a second link, Firefox will again become the active app but my link will NOT open.
Again, if I have NO open tabs, the first click always works, but no other clicked links will work beyond that.
If I switch to Safari as my default browser, everything works fine. So I'm forced to do that as a solution but I really don't like it.
Any thoughts to help?

I have the same problem. The problem is intermittent. Sometimes external links open immediately, sometimes they don't. Sometimes if I try several times in succession, the link will eventually open. If I manually copy and paste the link into a new tab, it always works.
Firefox is set as my default browser and set to check such at startup. When external links fail to open, Firefox DOES activate and become the frontmost application. It just fails to create a new tab from the external link.
I am using Firefox 32.0.3 on MacOS 10.9.5. I believe this problem started with the update before last (the same one that created the failure of CMD-L to open a new window which has since been fixed.)

External links

Currently external links open websites in an in-app browser (v25). How do I create links which open websites in an external browser?
Thanks.

Create the link and open the web content pane in the folio overlays panel.

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.

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.

How to choose witch window will open external links when using multiple Firefox profiles at the same time?

I am using 2 firefox profiles at the same, one for working and another for reading news. I start them with "firefox -no-remote -P profilename", so there are 2 firefox processes running.
It works well, but when I click a link in an external app (like in Google Talk), the link is opened in the first firefox process I launched. I mean, if I ran the "news" firefox first, it will always open the external links.
Is it possible to change this behavior? I'd like all external windows to be opened in the "news" firefox, never in the "working". Of course I'll achieve that if I open it first, but if I first run the "news", then the "working", then I close the news for any reason, now links will always open in the "working" until I close it.
I running linux (opensuse 11.3).

'''traysh''',
Profiles '''''period''''' are "unsupported" by Mozilla. Profiles are "there" but the developers want no part of non-developers using them or fixing anything related to Profiles that has been suggested in a Bug report, or documenting much related to Profiles. Profiles as we know them now are going to disappear from Firefox in the near future, although no specific version number or date has been fixed for that to happen. It is up to us user's to share our experiences with Profiles with other user's. I'm a relative noob to Linux, and all my experience with running multiple Profiles and -no-remote is with Windows OS's.
'''cor-el''',
So are you saying that on Linux external links will only open in the first Profile that was opened if multiple Profiles are running?
And that external links won't open a Profile that isn't already running - if any Profile is already running?
''I wish the differences between Windows and Linux as far as '''-no-remote''' and running multiple Profiles were better documented for "us" Linux noobs over at the MozillaZine KnowledgeBase - hint. Unless I am not looking hard enough in the MZ KB for that information....''

Cant open external links and multiple instances of the same profile.

I have multiple firefox profiles.
I constantly have two profiles running at the same time.
I use microsoft outlook and see an external link, I click it wishing firefox to open it in the default or new browser. It does not and says "FIrefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
Firefox is running fine.
How can I open external links with a profile based setup?
Also, how can I open multiple instances of the same profile? I find that if I click and drag a tab to another monitor, it opens a new "instance" or browser window.

You say
''I have multiple firefox profiles. <br />
I constantly have two profiles running at the same time. ''
So you will have discovered ''-no-remote'' Note NOT to use that on the default browser; profile, only on secondary profiles.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use#Common_causes
You will NOT be able to open multiple instances of the same profile, clone the profile if necessary.
If you are trying to run multiple Webmail accounts in one profile then you may well find the webmail is identifying and setting the user account that is opened. Use a Private Browsing window to get round that and open a second account.

IWeb link opening in a external (new) browser window.

Dear members:
After making several unsuccessful attempts to find this information I decided to post a questions here to see if anyone has the answer.
I have created two web site with several web pages in iWeb but haven't been able to add links to a page that open not in that same page but to open in an extra (external) browser window. Is there a way to make a link open in a different browser window than the one that has the page with the link ?
Another question I have refers to iWeb's display of some images. For my web sites I chose one of the templates offered with the program. In one of the pages there are small portions of text followed by a square image next to it. Some of the images in iWeb work as placeholders that are replaced by the final images once they are dragged and dropped over them. However, this small images following the text don't behave like that. They simply aren't replaced. I tried to "overlay" the final images over the template ones thinking that once the site was published they would be replaced. Actually, after posting the web site I noticed that when the pages load the template images show up first and them the ones I placed over them beginning to cover them.
Why is this happening and how can I solve this problem ?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Joseph Chamberlain

Opening external link in a new browser window

Some of the external links in my web page need to open in
their own window, leaving my site still open in the background. Can
anyone tell me how to do this? I don't see an option anywhere when
I am creating these links.
The links are to, for example, "The City of ......", and
could be quite long to traverse. I don't want my visitors to have
to click their browser's back button who knows how many times to
get back to my site.
I would appreciate any suggestions, thanks

It's not valid in a Strict doctype, either HTML or XHTML.
A better way to do this would be to see this tutorial -

How to Open External Links in a New Tab

I want links in web pages to open in the current tab so I have browser.link.open_newwindow=1. But how do I make links from extenal applications open in a new tab?

Try setting the following to 3, not really sure if preference was actually removed or just won't accept 2, the intent was that the two variables be the same (I think)
browser.link.open_external -- Where to open links sent to the browser from an external application
* 2 (default in SeaMonkey): Opens external links in a new window
* 3 (default in Firefox): Opens external links in a new tab in the most recent window
* 1 (or anything else): Opens external links in current window
Note: In Firefox 2 and above, via “Tools → Options → Tabs → New pages should be opened in:” (same as browser.link. open_newwindow)
Pref removed from Firefox 3.5

Clicking on External Link in Safari Opens New Tab

I think it has to do with one of the preferences I've set within Safari but I just can't put a finger on which one.
Basically, I reinstalled Yosemite 10.10.3 on my MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2013) about a week ago. And then I tinkered with Safari preferences.
Since then, whenever I click on an external link, for example, an email address, Safari opens a New Tab instead of launching my Mail app.
Not sure how to do undo this.

From the Mail menu bar, select
Mail ▹ Preferences... ▹ General ▹ Default email reader: Mail
If you don't use Mail, you may be able to set the preference in the mail client you do use.

RH6: External Links Won't Open

In the newest issue I've encountered compiling RH5 projects
with RH6, none of the several hundred external file links work in
IE7: the file will not open.
I ran a file compare on the published version of one RH6
topic with its RH5 equivalent -- they are
exactly the same except for the meta name="generator"
company name and URL and this line at the top in the RH6 version:

So, it doesn't appear to be the individual file, but a goober
somewhere in the output which is preventing the links from working.
BTW, the RH5 version works fine.
Any ideas where to look for the culprit?
Thanks!

...well, I inadvertently lied: I have two layouts, unchecked
Mark of the Web for one, compiled and opened the other. Not smart,
but in my defense, I've been distracted....
So here's the deal: the layout with Mark of the Web
checkmarked [per Adobe's copious Help, "Select this option
if you do not want your output (which is saved on your computer) to
be blocked in Internet Explorer 6, and later."] will
not open externally linked files. Period.
With Mark of the Web
unchecked, those externally linked files open just as
expected.
I'm confused. If I can't open externally linked files with
Mark of the Web checked, isn't that "blocking" -- at least of some
sort?
Anyway, Peter, good wild guess -- but I sure don't know how
to deal with this "solution"...<G>
