External links to sub projects cannot be displayed in new window

Hi
my question is: while putting hyperlinks to external topics ,
the options where you choose to open the links in 'New window' or
'pop up window' becomes inactive. deos this mean I cannot open
external links in new windows or pop ups????

Hi there Kathrin
I think you may be mistaken on this. Moments ago I tested to be certain. I have a CHM that successfully opens another CHM.
I'm using Windows 7 64 bit.
Cheers... Rick

With Mavericks I have to hold command key down and double click to get a sub folder to open in a new window. Can I go back to just double clicking ?

With Mavericks I have to hold command key down and double click to get a sub folder to open in a new window. Can I go back to just double clicking ?

Of course. To do it, open a Finder window, go to Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and untick "Open folders in tabs instead of new windows".

Links will not display in new window

I have just install the new version of Thunderbird 31.4.0 and now find when I click on a Link it does not display in a new window. To display the link I have to click on the Explorer tab near the start button. I would like the link to open immediately as it did previously. Thank you very much

This is not actually a Thunderbird question, but a browser issue, so you should really be asking this in the Firefox forum (assuming you use firefox) as it is the browser not taking the focus.
However, here is some help if you use Firefox.
If you use Firefox:
type : about:config into the Firefox address bar and hit enter. you will get a warning to be careful :)
In the Search bar, type : diverted look for this line: "browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground"
By default, the value of this entry should be false. This would give you focus on the browser after opening the link.
So check to see if you may have this set as 'True'.
To change it, double click on that line and it will toggle the value from 'True to 'False'.
Restart Firefox .

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")

How to get generated HTML file to display in new window from FileDownloadActionListener?

Hi,
I am using Jdeveloper version 11.1.1.5.
I have a use case where the user can produce a report upon the click of a command button. They can generate 3 types of reports, HTML, PDF or Excel depending on which option they select in the radio buttons preceding the 'generate report' command button.
The files are created in the background (XML file created based on View Objects which is then transformed using the relevant API for the report type and then produces a file which is held in servers temp directory) and is served out through a FileDownloadActionListener component programmatically, which itself is surrounded by a Command Link with visibility property set to 'false' (as per this blog:http://www.jobinesh.com/2010/01/customizing-execution-of-to-validate.html).
Everything works fine in that the reports generate correctly and after clicking on the 'generate report' button the browser's 'Open/Save' dialog box appears asking the user what they would like to do with the file. I am using Internet Explorer as that is what most of the client users will be using.
The issue I'm having is as follows. For PDF and Excel types when the user clicks on 'Open' the file opens in separate Adobe Reader or MS Excel application windows respectively, which is as expected and required. However, the HTML document opens within the same browser window within which the application is running and from where the 'generate report' button was clicked. The issues this presents is that if the user closes the browser window displaying the report then they will need to open a new window to re-establish connection to the application. If they click the browser 'back' button then it takes them back to the original page but not in exactly the same state as it was before the report was launched i.e. there are some components missing and the page doesn't display correctly.
Is there another way for me to achieve this or is it even possible? I tried setting the 'useWindow' property of the invisible command link surrounding the FileDownloadActionListener to 'true' which didn't work. I tried to surround it with a Go Link instead of a command link but that gave me NullPointerException's, I think because you can only use a component which has an 'Action' property?
I appreciate your assistance as always.

Hi,
I'm not sure if this solution is appropriate to your situation, but I had the same problem with trying to redirect from a commandLink to a new window. In the method that is called by the links action I used the following:
// Open the url in a separate browser window
ExtendedRenderKitService erks =
Service.getRenderKitService(fctx, ExtendedRenderKitService.class);
StringBuilder script = new StringBuilder();
script.append("window.open('" + url + "', '', '');");
erks.addScript(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(), script.toString());

Project sporadically opens in a new window, instead of tab

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I have not been able to find this issue on the Internet or on this forum. I apologize in advance if it has been resolved.
I always browse and open often my projects from my desktop.
When I had Captivate 6.0, it would open a window and then, for each project, it would open a tab.
After the upgrade to Captivate 8, whenever I open a project, Captivate will always open in a separate/new window for each project !!!
Is there a way to tell Captivate to ALWAYS OPEN NEW PROJECT in current window, but different tab?
I tried opening a project from the menu bar (File > Open > Select project), and it still opens in a new window.
Thank you for your time.
Eric

Hi Eric
Actually, I'm rather surprised to hear that any version of Captivate would simply open the second or subsequent projects in the same instance but in different tabs. New windows are what I would fully expect if opening projects by simply double-clicking them from the desktop.
I never advise folks to operate that way. My personal view is to open them by opening Captivate first, then using the File > Open (or Ctrl+O as Lilybiri uses).
If you feel it should operate differently, please consider filing a bug report using the link below.

Safari 3 cannot run scripts in new window

The problem that I am encountering is that Safari cannot seem to run scripts in a new window. Whenever I click on a link, nothing happens. This occurs on sites like http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/share.html?videoid=0824hd_ccben209 (when I am trying to view the videos) and http://music.aol.com/radioguide/ (Trying to play the stations).
I'm not sure if it's a JavaScript issue or something. I have enabled Java, JavaScript and plug-ins in the preferences pane. I also tried disabling the pop-up blocker but that didn't seem to work. It usually works fine in Firefox (though the nbcolympics site insisted that I didn't meet the browser requirements, when I clearly did.) Sorry I can't provide you guys with much info, I don't know much about web stuff.
I am using Safari 3.1.2 on a 2GHz Macbook. Thanks loads

Yup the options are checked.

I downloaded and installed the Silverlight plug-in some time ago, but it doesn't seem to have affected anything

Frame content displays in new windows

I have created a site with frames. The frameset is the opening page (index.html). The site works perfectly in Safari (Mac OS) but in Internet Explorer (Mac & PC) it does not load the links into the specified frames, instead it opens a new window to display the linked page in. Please help!

I have created a site with frames.
A very bad idea. Experienced web developers don't use Frames. They were a popular choice late in the last century, but not anymore. Frames are so poorly regarded now, the W3C saw fit to remove them from HTML 5.0 web standards. More reasons to avoid Frames: http://apptools.com/rants/framesevil.php
Please help!
People use Frames thinking they will make the site easier to maintain and navigate. It's a lie. Ditch the frames and your site will be much less complicated for you and your visitors.
If you want an easy way to manage headers, menus and footers that don't change from page to page, use DW Templates or Server-Side Includes.

Target for a .pdf with the link target _blank does not open in a new window.

I have a simple html document with links to .pdf documents all set to _blank but only one opens in a new window. The others open as _self. Changing the target doesn't seem to make a difference.
Any idea as to why that is happening?

The Template .dwt file is only used locally by DW itself, there's no reason to upload it to the server unless you intend to share it with someone. You have to upload each individual page that the Template updates, every time you update the template and propagate that change across the child pages.
It would probably be better to use a server side include. That way, you could update one file then upload it and all of your pages would automatically carry that update...

It's especially handy if your site gets to the point where you have more than about 20 pages.

PDF-Portfolio: link doesn't open a document in a new window

Hello,
i use Acrobat 9 Pro on Win XP SP3.
I will use a link from a maindocument into a PDF-portfolio to another Portfolio document in the same file.
But the (linked) document should be open in a new window.
I can customize the option: targetdocument open in a new window, but this option/function doesn't work.
The document will always open in the same portfolio-window.
(Create link with link tool>add action>go to a page view in another doc> set link> edit action> open targetdocument in: a new window)
sorry, for the description, but i have only the german GUI.
Is there a change to use a JavaScript in the link?
Thanks for response, maikro.

Links to files doesn't open in a new window

I've noticed that links (that refers to a specific file) created in Adobe Indesign doesn't open in a new window like the links that refers to a website when I autoconverts it in Acrobat Pro X.
Example:
LINK1: http://www.acrobat.com/testfile.pdf <--- does not open in a new window when clicked
LINK2: http://www.acrobat.com/testfolder <--- opens in a new window when clicked
Are there any way to fix this?
Will the same problem occur if I create the links in Acrobat instead?
I'm asking this because I don't want the form to disappear when the links are clicked.
Best,
Mikey

Firefox should divert the new window to a new tab when you check this box in Google's Search Settings:
"Open search results in a new browser window"
I can't think of any reason for Firefox to divert a new window back into ''the same tab''.
In case one of your add-ons is the culprit, could you try Firefox's Safe Mode?
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox using Help>Restart with Add-ons Disabled. Don't check any of the boxes in the [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode] dialog, just Continue in Safe Mode.
Does it make any difference?

Action Links vs. HTML Links - Can you make both open in a new window?

We are creating some reports that and are trying our best to keep them short and to the point. My requirement is that I pull a list of top accounts based on prior year revenue values. That piece is covered. Now that I'm trying to make sure the sales force can get at the details faster I've linked the Account Name field to pull up the account details.
I have done this first using the HTML method and it worked just fine but I found I ended up with a column that had to say something like "Go". Again I'm trying to keep the number of columns down as this is to be a dashboard type report at some point. I simply passed the target=top command to keep the list in the background and just pop open a new window which was ideal as they like keeping the list open behind the drill.
Then I went in and swapped it out to an action link because it looked like I could just have the Account name hyperlinked and it would save me a column. The only thing now is that it seems to want to open in the same window.
I guess my question is that can I either force the Action Link to open a new window when drilled or can I somehow put in an expression into the HTML HREF method to still drill off the account name. I didn't know if there was a way to do this via expressions or not.

There is no such option in InDesign CS6. It has to be accomplished in Acrobat by use of a JavaScript, as I recall. You should ask in the Acrobat forums for more informations.

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.

When I open a link in a website it opens as a new window instead of just staying on the same page

In any website, when I click on a link it opens in a new window.this even occurs in google when I click any of the results it opens in a new window instead of just staying on the same page.tabs work fine however, it is just links on websites.

Did you check the search settings on the Google Search Settings page?
* http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en
''Where results open: Open search results in a new browser window.''
You can set the browser.link.open_newwindow pref to 1 to open links by default in the current tab.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow (3)
You can set this pref to 0 (zero) to do this for all widows opened via JavaScript.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction (0)

When i klick a link that should open the page in a new window it opens up a blank page

For example a link like this: javascript:%20window.open('http://www.survey-xact.dk/LinkCollector?key=TQ8P4KJN1K3P',%20'_blank',%20'height=580,width=800,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes');undefined
It opens up a new window, but blank. Happens pretty often so I´m greatful if I could get help fixing this.

That link doesn't seem to exist anymore on that server: http://www.survey-xact.dk/LinkCollector?key=TQ8P4KJN1K3P
