How do I make all links open in a new window?

I have some RSS feeds on my website.  If you click one of their headlines it takes you to that source to read the story.  Is there a way to make all hyper links on a webpage open in a new window?  If not, is there a way to make the individual links open in a new window?  The website is http://www.businessfixer.net/articles

Mark,
Target: e.g. <a href=”#” target=”_blank”> is deprecated (outdated) code.  Strict doc types will not pass validation.
OP,
Most people know how to use their browsers BACK button to return to a site.  Or better yet, right click on links to open them inside new tabs or windows.  This should almost always be a user's decision and not a web designer's decision.
If you have all links open in new windows/tabs, In no time at all, user's browser will be stuffed with them which is ugly and can diminish browser performance.
If you need to open a new window on SELECT links, use the Behaviors Panel, press the Plus sign (+) and select Open Browser Window.  Repeat this for all links you want opened in new windows.

  • How do you make adobe X open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?

    This may not be the correct forum for this question, but considering that I simply
    have not been able to get a reply in any other Adobe forum, I decided
    to just post this question to ALL Adobe forums until I get a response.........
    How do you make adobe X open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?
    I am using a "Windows 7" computer at work with "Acrobat X Pro" and I'm constantly combining
    pdf's and tiff's in Acrobat.
    It would be nice if when I select 30 or 40 files to combine, the *******
    "Combine Supported Files in Adobe Acrobat" window would open in the
    foreground, not behind the 10 or so windows already open.
    I have been researching this for some time now with no solution.
    If the answer is that "IT CAN'T BE DONE", then that's fine. At least
    I will have an answer and can stop searching. If (as I suspect) it can
    be done, then kindly supply me with "step by step" instructions.

    Hi ,
    I guess that was a bug in that version .
    It does not happen in Acrobat XI and Acrobat DC .The window comes right in front of everything else .
    I wonder that was a bug and that was fixed the other versions.
    You could upgrade to the latest Acrobat version ,i.e Acrobat DC and you would not experience this anymore .

  • Make every link open in a new tab?

    How to make every link open in a new tab?

    Hello Sammy90
    first be sure that you have the next 2 options in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config] :
    * '''browser.link.open_newwindow''' = 3
    * '''browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction''' = 2
    to check that :
    # In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
    # Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
    # in the search field type(or copy paste from here) '''browser.link.open_newwindow'''
    # if the value is 3, you are ok, otherwise double-click on it and change the value to 3, click OK to save it
    do the same with '''browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction''', remember we need 2 as value.
    '''now''' do the same with '''browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external''' and '''change''' the value to '''3''' (it is -1 by default).
    probably you are OK now.
    thank you

  • How do I make a Hyperlink open in a different window?

    Hello,
    When people click my Hyperlinks they leave my website. Is there a way for the hyperlinks to open in a new window so that my website always stays open on the desktop?
    I hope that is clear?

    I don't recall the previous versions to 08, but in 08 in the inspector when you enable a hyperlink to an external page there is an option to have the link open in a new window.

    Right click the FireFox button in your toolbar and look in the properties- middle tab...make sure that it only has "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" with no other link added to the end. I had a similar problem this morning and found a website had attached it's link to the end so it would always pop up first and would only open a new tab.
    Hope that fixed it.

  • How do you make all bookmarks open in safari when launched?

    Hello Apple community! New mac user here. I really want to know how to automatically have all bookmarks opened after launching safari. Thanks so much!

    There is no way to open "all" bookmarks at launch
    But you can open a group of them at launch as tabs.
    Click the Book icon in the Bookmarks Bar.
    Click Bookmarks Bar in the side bar
    At the bottom left of the right side pane there is + sign. Click on it.
    A new folder will be created.  Name it.
    Checkmark the box  under the column "Auto-Click".
    The new folder will appear in the Bookmarks Bar
    Add your favorites to it. 
    Click "Add Bookmark" in the Safari toolbar and select the new folder.
    When you launch Safari, items in that folder will appear as tabs when you
    click on that folder in the Bookmarks Bar.
    Best,

  • Firefox 15.0.1 stops responding (100% cpu) when a link opens in a new window.

    Whenever I click a link that is designed to open in a new window Firefox goes straight to 100% cpu usage and I have to go through the Windows "end now" sequence to close the program. I've tried opening one of the links in a new window but I think it was done in java not html (not sure if all the links are java when this happens as that's the only one I've tested). Not sure what details someone might need but this is on my Mom's older laptop with Windows XP Media Center Edition Ver. 2002 Service Pack 2. Hmmm just saw the SP2 will try to update and see what that does though I don't think that's the issue.

    So what is happening or not happening now ? The problem computer is your Moms, but I assume your own computer works ok. Have you tried that on the same internet connection as your Mom uses & visiting the same sites?
    Also try Internet Explorer. If that is also very slow the problem may not lie with Firefox.
    I suggest you try the Firefox Reset feature on your Mom's computer,
    * BUT first of all
    **make a note of the software extensions that are in use, and bookmark their download and support sites.
    ** back up the Firefox profile [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    * follow the instructions in the following article, after reading the caution about what will be lost
    **[[Reset Firefox preferences to troubleshoot and fix problems]]

  • Links open with a new window help

    I'm trying make my links on my website open with a new window. This way the customer won't have to find his way back to the site. I found this thread-http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=339861
    It looks to be pretty helpful but I can't figure out how to edit the html file after I published it. Any suggestions?

    Welcome ny854
    You might want to try using an html editor like Taco HTML Edit to open html files, I find it makes them much easier to read.
    Your file is viewing as a web page because Safari is probably set as the default app to open html files.
    What you need to do is press the "ctrl" key when you click on the file in your iDisk, this will give you a menu, choose Open With, then choose the app that you want to open the file with from the list that you see. If you use text edit (launch the app, go to Text Edit > Preferences > Click Open and Save > Check “Ignore rich text commands in html files”).

  • When I click on any Bookmark, how do I set it to open in a new window by default?

    Right clicking an icon in the Bookmarks Toolbar provides a drop down menu. That menu has "Open" as the Default and "Open in a New Window" as the second choice. I'd like to make "Open in a New Window" the Default. In other words, I'd like to be able to click on a Bookmark icon and open a new window. Is there a line in 'about:config' that I can change to accomplish this?

    Go to Tools->Options->Apps
    Here you should see two columns: Content Type on the left, Actions on the right.
    Find and select excel spreadsheet or any other content type in the left column. There should be a corresponding action in the right column. What is it? You can use the drop-down list to select the option you want:
    Always Ask - Firefox will ask each time: What do you want to do with this file?
    Save file - Firefox will save this file to your computer
    Use - Firefox will give this file to the program to open it
    In case of saving, Firefox will either prompt you every time where you want the file to be saved, or save it to the default location. It depends on the preference in
    Tools->Options->General->Download

  • How Can I Stop Tabs from Opening in a New Window?

    Since I updated to the newest version of Firefox, I am PLAGUED by a problem, and I can't get it to stop. When I return to Firefox and click on any tab, it almost always causes that tab to open in a new window. I understand this is a feature--drag a tab into the screen and it will cause that tab to open as a window, but I am not meaning to drag these tabs! I am using Firefox EXACTLY as I have used it for years, but for some reason, it seems to be interpreting my clicks differently--either I am dragging the tab a *tiny* bit, or it is simply registering that I have dragged the tab when I haven't. Is there a way to disable this feature? Or a way to decrease the sensitivity of the thing, so that you have to actually drag the tab all the way into the window before it opens as a new window? It is truly making me batty. I'm about to switch permanently to Chrome.
    To be totally clear: this is happening when I am simply trying to switch from one tab to another.

    You do not need to move your cursor much when pressing the mouse button to cause the tab to tear-off/tear-away into a new tab. No "sensitivity" setting that I am aware of. The tab in the new window can be dragged back to the original window.
    To disable the feature, install this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bug489729-disable-detach-and-t/

  • Spry Gallery - how to get large image to open in a new window?

    Hey guys,
    I'm building a new website and decided to use Spry for the Gallery section. It works like a charm but I want to get the larger version of the image to open in a new window when someone clicks on the normal image? It shouldn't be that difficult but I'm lost. Can anyone help?
    I believe I have to put a <a href> infront of the image something like this:
    <div id="picture">
            <div id="mainImageOutline" style="width: 0px; height: 0px;"><a href="?????" target="_blank" id="??????"><img id="mainImage" alt="main image" src=""/></a></div>
      </div>
    and something to the XML file...
    <photo
    path = "1.jpg"
    width = "300"
    height = "400"
    thumbpath = "1.jpg"
    thumbwidth = "56"
    thumbheight = "75"
    large = "galleries/xyz/large/1.jpg"   <------- this is the large image I want to open in a new windows
    >
    </photo>
    thanks!!

    Actually, the site is for my friend and she really likes this Gallery: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/demos/gallery/index-air.html
    I just want to keep this one and just edit it, so when I click on the image it opens the large image...

  • How Do I Prevent Hyperlinks from Opening in a New Window?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to make links in the current presentation open in the same window?
    While I understand that ordinarily it would make sense to have links in the middle of the presentation open in new windows so as to not make users lose their current place in a presentation when they click on a link, my presentation ends with a link to a quiz on a secure server.  Because the link in Presenter forces a new window to open, it is not evident to all users that the link does anything.  This is especially true for IE users. 
    Thanks for the help,
    Todd
