Force app iframe links to open new browser window?

We're building a simple app that uses iframes to pull in external images and text to display in specific regions of the app's pages. The text displayed is an HTML list of links -- each link the name of a legislator -- that lead to that person's official biography. The client wants the following behavior: When the app user clicks a name/hyperlink, the iPad browser should take over and display the bio. When done reading the bio, the user can click the browser's close-window symbol at top right, then they will be back where they started in the app.
For some reason, these links insist on opening within the iframe, regardless of whether or not we use the target="_blank" method. I tried Googling for this as a known behavior, but found nothing. Tips?

If it will help, here's a sample of the HTML were bringing into the iframe from an external source. We did not write this code but can relay messages to their Web developer ...

  • Any way to open new browser window without using image maps?

    Is there any way to open new browser window without using image maps? My code works fine in Firefox, but not in IE. There are 2 problems in IE: 1st is that the thumbnail images move up within their own borders & 2nd that when you click on an image it does open up a new browser window, but also redirects to the index page (in this case it's just a placeholder index page - the new one I've called index_new.html for the time being).
    Here is the link:
    http://www.susieharperdesigns.com/gallery_beads.html
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Your missing a value on the HREF.  In your code you have this:
    <area shape="rect" coords="-24,-9,106,144" href=" " onclick="MM_openBrWindow('gallery_bead1.html','','width=255,height=360')" />
    </map></div>
    and it should be this:
    <area shape="rect" coords="-24,-9,106,144" href="javascript:void()" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('gallery_bead1.html','','width=255,height=360')" />
    </map></div>
    If you fix the code on all your beads, it should work.

  • Open New Browser window with "Server Behavior"

    I know how to open a link in a new browser window by going to
    the Behaviors panel. The site I'm working on is using PHP, so
    instead of a Behaviors panel all it shows is a "Server Behaviors"
    panel. Under the "Server Behaviors" there is't an option to open a
    link in a new browser window. Should I be looking someplace
    different or is there another way to add this function to a link?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

  • Opening new browser window

    Hi,
    this piece of code use to work for opening a new browser, but now it has problem in opening browser window. There is no exception thrown, can anyone has suggestion whats wrong in this. I am using JRE1.3. I have a feeling that something is conflicting with IE (I tried on 5.0,5.5,6.0)
    thanks
    Syed
    try
    URL url = new URL(urlString);
    applet.getAppletContext().showDocument(url, "_blank");
    } // End of Try
    catch(MalformedURLException e)
    logs("Exception in opening new browser window: " + e);
    } // End of Catch

    Same here.
    Worked fine under IE5.x to IE6, JRE 1.3.x to 1.4. OS used were W2k and WinXP, no prob here.
    Now on some PCs the windows don't pop up anymore. No exception, no indicator of what's going wrong.
    Any hints?

  • Opening new browser window from View Library links

    On some of the documentation pages, e.g. http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/ias.html , a new browser window is opened using target=new_win in the HTML code. This window will be re-used if the user goes back and clicks on another, similar link. It's better to use target=_blank for this purpose, because that would ensure that a new browser window is opened every time.

    You would have to a) swap the image, and b) expose a
    previously hidden layer
    that superimposes the image with a transparent GIF on which
    the onClick
    behavior has been applied.

  • Do NOT want to open link in a new browser window - iWeb '09

    I do not want links that navigate around my website to open a new browser window every time. Right now, for example, From my main page, I click a link to a secondary page, it opens it in a new window, I then click the link back to my main page, and it opens in a new window. I now have 3 windows open.
    I am not using the navigation bar as it set ups with iWeb (I have it hidden). I am using hyperlinks I attached to text boxes. Would this problem be remedied if I was using the navigation bar? If so, is there anyway to edit the appearance of the navigation bar and it's location on the page?
    Primarily though, I would like my text hyperlinks to just navigate my page and not open in new windows.
    Thanks!

    And that's the way it should be.
    If you look at this page about navigation you'll see that the main navigation uses eternal links and the sub navigation internal ones....

  • Open new browser window

    it also opens in the parent window at the same time. For
    instance, I have a home page and when you click on a link I want it
    to open up in a new browser window. so i set the behavior to do
    this and it works. However, the first window also changes to the
    new link so I then have two windows open with the same link I just
    clicked on. The main window doesn't stay as the home page. any
    suggestions? Thanks.

    Also David Powers' Smart Link extension may come in handy:

  • Open new browser window without bookmark

    when i open a new browser window (from a bookmark or using cnt N) it opens with the list of my bookmarks along the left side of the screen forcing me to x out of the bookmark list so i can have a full browser window page.
    how can i get new pages to open without the list of bookmarks on the left side of the screen?
    thanks,
    todd

    You can create a javascript to window.open having toobar, menubar or statusbar=0. The page content can be customized per need. Call this javascript from a link or button click using javascript:popup_window();
    For example,
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    function popup_window()
    w = window.open("", "Window", "width=320,height=400,status=0,toolbar=0,menubar=0");
    w.document.write('<html><head><title>Help Window</title>');
    w.document.write('</head><body>');
    w.document.write('<div><font face="Arial" size="2">This is help page.');
    w.document.write('</font></div><p>');
    w.document.write('<div><font face="Arial" size="1"><a href="javascript:window.close();">Close This Window</a></font></div><p>');
    w.document.write('</body></html>');
    </script>Ittichai

  • Open New Browser Window Behavior Issue

    I've got a site that has a list of names of deceased people.
    When a viewer clicks on a name I have a new browser window open
    that is a small memorial page specific for that person. This list
    is fairly long so the viewer has to scroll down a ways to get to
    the bottom. If the viewer clicks a name towards the bottom and then
    closes that new browser window they have to scroll all the way back
    down and find where they left off. This of course, is assuming they
    are going in order to view the memorial pages for each person. Is
    there a way to make the "original page (with the list of names)"
    not refresh to the top of the page? I'm using and would like to
    continue using tables and not layers or styles.
    Information can be sent onto [email protected]
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Cody

  • Link to a New Browser window

    Anybody knows of an easy way to open a report through the link on another report into a new browser window by default? Thanks.

    hi you can do this in a couple of ways
    create a format trigger on the column that you want to use as the link :-
    function F_organizationFormatTrigger return boolean is
    begin
    srw.set_hyperlink('http://' || :BASEURL || '/anotherjsp.jsp?REPORT_ID=1&destype=cache&desformat=' || :desformat || '&WHERECLS=' || :DRILLCLS || '&DRILLVALUE=' || chr(39) || :column1 || ' ' || chr(39) );
    srw.set_hyperlink_attrs('target=_blank');
    return (TRUE);
    end;
    or you can put it in the Web Settings piece of the Property Inspector for the column that you want to link from . there is a paramter for hyperlink and hyperlink destination.
    hope this helps

  • Cache problem for servlet opening new browser window

    Requirement:
    I have JSP page say summary.jsp with link "print account summary"
    When user clicks on this link, new browser open with PDF document of summary.jsp
    This new browser window should not have address bar and toolbar.
    Solution:
    Servlet called PrintSummary which sets contenttype=application/pdf and sends the data to outputstream.
    href of link is
    Java script function is:
    function openWindow(url){
    window.open(url,'blank','toolbar=no')
    Problem:
    Since the URL of this new window is
    http:// host:portnumber/PrintSummary
    Even if I click the "Print summary" link for account2,
    being the same URL (http:// host:portnumber/PrintSummary) it accesses the existing page in the cache which is created for account 1.
    In href if I just use servlet url as
    I get the expected behaviour but then I don't have control on browser appearance and browser window will be with address bar and toolbar.
    The only option I could think of was changing URL as follows:
    <% String url ="javascript:openWindow('PrintSummary? var1="+ Math.random()+"')";
    So that URL is different all the time
    Is there any way to solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance
    M.

    I'd definitely try to use a Flex popup... but the
    flash.net.navigateToURL method is a simple way to open a popup
    window in a new browser. You can pass any data needed by the new
    page using the URLRequest and/or URLVariables. The URL you navigate
    to could, of course, be another Flex application if necessary. I
    use this only when I need to open a popup window on another site,
    or an HTML formatter report or something similar.
    Concerning yourself with the size of the popup window may be
    a bad design choice also. I, for example, have my browser
    configured to open all popups in a new tab regardless of sizing
    constraints imposed by the designer. If it is absolutely necessary
    for you to have control over the size of your popup window, you
    should follow the advice given by others and use a Flex
    popup.

  • Linking to one new browser window?

    Can anyone tell me how to open multiple pdfs from one page in

    You would not be able to do this by linking directly to the
    PDF. This is
    what I said in an earlier post.

  • Open new browser window after insert

    I am having a problem with form data being errased when users
    go back to a form after after the insert command. I have been
    trying to get the insertGoTo page to be opened in a new browser
    window. The tail end of the insert command code looks as follows.
    $Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $squirrelcart) or
    die(mysql_error());
    $insertGoTo = "new_page.php";
    if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
    $insertGoTo .= (strpos($insertGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?";
    $insertGoTo .= $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
    header(sprintf("Location: %s", $insertGoTo));
    I have tried modifying the page name to:
    $insertGoTo ="MM_openBrWindow('new_page.php','page_name','
    This didn't work. Any suggestions on how to put the new_page
    in its own window, or is there a way to suppress the form page
