How to make a Click Box URL open in a new window?

Hullo, I am having an awful time being stumped by what I am sure is a totally simple solution that continues to evade me:
How can I set a click box set to open a URL to open that URL in a new tab or window?
My click box "button" appears on a slide in the middl eof the presentation, and I'd like the user to be able to click on the hyperlink and not navigate away from the video.
Thanks!

Hi there
What version of Captivate?
Typically there is an option to click just to the right of where you type the URL.
Below is an image of the version 5 properties.
Cheers... Rick

How To Make Links In A .PDF Open In A New Window

Hello,
I am using Acrobat Pro 10 to create a fillable employment application. At the top of the main application, I want people to be able to click and be redirected to another .PDF file I have hosted on my site that they will need to fill out in addition. So, I have used the link tool, but this closes the main pdf application and opens up the new pdf in its place. This is very problematic, because it clears out all of their data in the previous main application. So, I need the link to open in a new window and not in the same one as the original form. Is this possible?
I have tried using the Java work around explained in this article: http://mythinkpond.wordpress.com/2009/11/04/opening-a-link-in-a-pdf-document-in-a-new-wind ow/
However, when I do this, and upload it to my site the link doesn't do anything. When you click above the word where the link should be, it doesn't show the finger pointer and doesn't do anything when clicked.
Any ideas? I greatly appreciate any help...

That makes sense. So I guess it looks like I have 2 options.
1. Put the JS short code in and have it open the link in a new window if the user opens it in adobe. If a google chrome user opens it in the default viewer, they wont be able to use the link at all.
2. Leave the link how it is, and it will be usable in both viewers, but will not open it in a new window.
I am sureprised that opening the link in a new window isn't just an option in Acrobat Pro. I wouldn't think you'd have to make a workaround like this.
Is there an alternative way to have a page link on the form so that people can go to another .pdf whil keeping the main one open?

When I click to open anything I get a box saying open link in new window, open link in new tab, download linked file etc. When I go to close anything I get hide toolbar, customize toolbar. It takes 3-5 clicks and it will finally close.

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]] 
 
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. 
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions. 
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Acrobat Pro 7: right click option to Open in a New Window

Hello,
We are using Adobe Acrobat Pro v7, and we oftentimes like to view PDFs in separate windows. To do this, the first file can be openeb by double clicking thefile in Explorer, and for subsequent files, we just right click on the PDF and select Open in a New Window. This works perfectly fine; however, not everyone has the right click option to Open in a New Window. The DO have the same version of Acrobat, but just not this functionality. How do we go about getting this right click context added for the others? Thanks.

Yes. Everyone is on Windows XP SP2.

I am using firefox 3.6 due to compatibility with roboform.Firefox keeps crashing and when I click a tab opens in a new window don't want that.

This has been occurring for about 2 weeks.I need a version of firefox compatible with roboform.Very irritating that when I click tabs or links opens in a new window.

Firefox 4.0 up through the latest 10.0 version is compatible with Roboform7 or with the '''RoboForm Lite Standalone Extension'''. 
http://www.roboform.com/platforms/browsers/firefox - scroll down that page a bit
As far as troubleshooting your Firefox crashes, start with this: 
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20crashes#w_get-help-fixing-this-crash
Type '''about:crashes''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. 
# Middle-Click the hyperlinks to bring up each Crash Report page in a new Tab; each page may take a few minutes to load.
# '''Then copy'n'paste the URL of each of those reports into the message box here.'''
# We'll see if we can help you figure out what is causing those crashes to happen.
If you can't open Firefox or keep it open long enough to get the Crash Report ID's, even in the Firefox Safe Mode - see the section entitled - '''''You can't open Firefox because it crashes at startup even in Safe Mode:'''''.

Out of the blue, just a few minutes ago, every time I click on a link, it opens in a new window. It is very frustrating and annoying, and I don't know why this is happening. Also, when I start to type in the navigation bar, the first letter shows up as a capital even though caps lock is not on. I think the problems are related, but I don't know how.

Wow, just as soon as I posted this, everything went back to normal.

How to make dock appear in all monitors, and keep new windows to same monit

I've got an unusual setup: two screens at my desk, and another one in front of a recliner nearby so that it is not physically adjacent to the other two. This means that when the cursor moves off the side of two of the monitors and goes to the third one, I can't see it. I don't want to mirror all the displays because half the time I use the two adjacent ones from the desk, and sometimes I just want to use the one separate one. Can someone tell me if it's possible to
1) make the same dock appear in all monitors? I want access to the dock no matter which monitor I'm looking at. Is there a utility or hack that will give me a dock in each screen?
2) any way to have apps open and create new windows in whatever monitor I'm currently working? it's very annoying that sometimes I run a app and it throws up a window in the monitor I'm not looking at. Any way to keep it to the set of two or to the 3rd one, depending on which I'm using at the time?
thank you!
Mike

Hi Mike, Might have a look at the bottom of this page for Dock-It 2.6.1 for Mac OS X 10.5.x and earlier...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/8288/dock-it
As far as the other problems, I'd try Mirroring #1 & #3.

How can I set web links to open in a new window?

I'm using the links tool in Acrobat 5.05 to create links in my pdf to other websites, not documents. When the pdf is posted online, I need those links to open in a new window. Now they open in the same window, which subjects the viewer to using the back button to return to the originating pdf and waiting for it to completely reload. This is a sizeable pdf file, making that very time consuming. I tried Un-checking the option about "Open Cross Document Links in Same Window" but tests indicated that it made no difference.
If you need more info to clarify my question, please just ask. Any suggestions in regard to solving this will be appreciated.
My apologies if a similar question has already been asked/answered. I did not find reference to it in my search.
Thank you.

You can use JavaScript for this. For example:
app.launchURL("http://www.adobe.com", true);
More information is in the Acrobat JavaScript reference. Note that this method is new to Acrobat 7. You can still use Acrobat 5 to create the JavaScript, but it won't work for versions less than 7, or for most users of non-Adobe PDF viewers. If you go this route, you should add some code that checks the version of Acrobat (Reader), and only execute the above code if 7 or above.

Every link I click. It opens in a new window. Just started randomly Tonight when I woke up my computer.

So as above. I assume there there is a box to click that turns off "open link in new tab". But I can't find it.

Type '''about:preferences'''<Enter> in the address bar.
Select '''General.''' Then go to the '''Tabs''' section.

How to make pictures not resize when opened in their own window.

I just upgraded to Safari v3 and despite all the good changes I've found one frustrating thing. In the old version when I opened a picture in its own window and it was bigger than what could fit in the window it wouldn't resize. It just came up as a full-resolution image. But with the new version, it does the thing that I hated with internet explorer and resizes it to fit the screen. It's not a big deal but it's enough to bug me.
I've searched the preferences menus and this discussion board, but I still can't find a way to change it back to the old way of not adjusting.
Is it even possible or will I have to get used to it?
Thanks!

Double-click won't open photo in new window

so double clicking a photo in my library used to open it in a separate window where i could have a closer look or edit the photo, only, now, when i double-click a photo, the separate window opens, flashes the photo for a millisecond and then appears and remains blank. anyone had this issue before? know how to fix it? happy days!

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

How do I get the searchbar to open in a new tab?

I want the search bar to open a new tab every time i search for something. How to I do this?

Hotmail opens in a new window because the code or set of instructions on the MSN website tells Firefox to open Hotmail in a new window. I would suggest you right click on the Hotmail button and left click on "Open Link in New Tab". This will open a new tab in the current window.
