How to set linked FM hyperlink parameters to open in new window?

I have a URL hyperlink style that is being pulled over correctly from FM without even any mapping to a new character style. However, the link opens within the Help window, and I want it to open in a new window.
I'm aware that you can click double click the link to bring up the Hyperlink dialogue box, then choose the "Display In" radial button option of "New Window." to get it to work how I want.
However, that would require a manual intervention for every link, and even if I did it, I don't think it would retain the tweak once I update the linked files.
The original FM style is a character one, not sure if that might impact the solution here. It can't easily be modified to another style is why I mention it, it's a default style in thousands of pages of documentation.
I see that there are some default "Hyperlink Styles" in the "Styles and Formatting" Pod. I tried to edit them and reverse engineer to get some ideas for a solution, but no such luck. I can't get any of these to apply as a style either, nothing happens when I try. I think I'm missing some part of how these work.
If anyone could point me in the right direction here, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

FredMcD,
I had already reset my Firefox which fixed my problem, but your reply was spot-on. I set the newtab value to about:blank, but the actual value that appears now in the address bar of the (blank) new page is "Search or enter address".
Another user told me to check for possibly suspicious programs that had been recently installed - but I found nothing. And nothing that mentioned Conduit
So I think all is well at this point. Thanks for your help.

How do I create a hyperlink that will open a new window, when saving a frame file as a pdf?

I have created a hyper link in Frame using the message URL command in the marker window. I have added the target="_blank" command after the http url within the marker. But when I then save the frame doc as a pdf and open that pdf from within a browser, when I click on the link in that pdf, it goes to the new link but it does not open in a new window or tab.
What am I doing wrong?
I should mention that I am using Frame 10.

Best solution that I can find to tell you is to get Schlomo Perets' FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers 5.0. From the FrameUsers mailing list:
Schlomo Perets said:
In FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers 5.0, the "new window" link control was extended to optionally display web-based links in a new browser window (Links/General tab, Cross-file links: Open PDF in a new window, Also apply to web links).
The function can apply to all web links (i.e. no need to modify anything in the FrameMaker file), or to individual links (in which case a special hypertext marker has to be used instead of the standard "message URL http://..." marker).

How to get links from other applications to open a new Firefox window

I have non-Web browser applications that want to open browser windows. I have Firefox as my default Web browser. When these other applications pass a URL to Windows, Windows passes the URL to Firefox. Unless there are no Firefox windows running, Firefox then opens the URL in a new tab of the most recently used Firefox window. I would prefer that Firefox open a completely new window. Where can I find the setting for this behavior?
Thank you,
Dan

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Link to a file, but opened in new window

Hello,
I have a text, which I wanna turn into an active hyperlink to a video file. I go to HYPERLINK, check Enable as Hyperlink, check Make hyperlink active, link to a File, Input URL. Everything works, except the file opens in the same window as my website, so after watching video, a viewer has to return to my webpage. Is there any way, that I could make the file open in a new window?
Thanks

How to publish a non scorm file to open in new window on LMS?

Hi, I've published an elearning module to our LMS, but I can't get it to open in a new window.
I've published some captivate courses before which all did open in a new window. The difference with this one is that all the others were scorm (had quizzes which this one doesn't.)
Is that the problem? I did try to publish the file as if it were a scorm file (tick 'enable reporting for this project') but then the LMS could not open the course.
The file is published like: elearn output: disabled, display score: no, enable access.: yes. Output options: export html
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

Hello and welcome,
Several factors will be responsible for the SWF output file. You use high resolution (ppi, 24-bit; sometimes I have better results with Optimized which cannot be set here but has to be done in the slides themselves), probably needed because of quality. You can reduce more by setting only those slides that need this high quality to High (or Optimized) and leave the others at Low but this also has to be done in the Slide Properties and then you'll have to check 'Retain Slide Quality Settings'. But what is the total resolution of your project: widthxheight? Because that is also one of the main factors! Next question: do you have audio? Audio clips add a lot more to the filesize than slides and/or graphics. If you have be sure to keep the lowest acceptible settings for the audio. Do you have video inserted? Again... adds to filesize.
Maybe this seems a stupid question, but I have so often seen files with slides that have an unneccessary long duration. Each second of a slide adds 30frames to your project...

TOC Links Cause Merged Topics To Open in New Window

Hi All,
I have a master .chm file and several .chm files merged into
it. Under RH5/6 these were working fine when I clicked on their TOC
links; they opened properly as expected in the same viewer as the
master help file. Now, after installing RH7 yesterday and using
that to compile my master file, if I click on any of merged TOC
links, the sub project opens up in it's own window.
Suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
Jared

I managed to fix it by deleting and re-adding in the merged
projects into the master TOC. In fact that fixed another problem I
was having with browse sequences. Colum will be happy.

Link to URL -- pdf should open in new window - Error

Hi experts,
I have a Web Dynpro Application with an ALV and a link to url in one column. The code is ok. It works fine. When I click on the URL a new browser window opens with the correct URL, but I get an Error --> "The requested URL could not be retrieved".
It should be a pdf. But Acrobat Reader does not open. If I put the URL in Firefox Browser, it works perfect. Acrobat Reader opens and shows the pdf.
The same happens when I use Windows 2000 System with Internet Explorer version 6.0.2800.1106.
I have normally Windows XP with Internet Explorer version 6.0.2900.2180 with sp2.
What can that be? On both computers I have the same version of Acrobat Reader with the same configuration.
Had someone of you this problem, too? Who can help?
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
Ingmar

I answered it myself. I had to look that for the called server no proxyserver will be used...

When I click on an email link it opens in the email window instead of opening a new window, how to get it to open a new window instead

It's Comcast email, most links are to articles from the Wall Street Journal. Lately an email from Charles Schwab broker with a link to a pdf file has been doing the same. When I click on the link, it opens within the email frame, which is about 1/3 filled up with the toolbar, mailboxes, headings etc. If it opens with 2 bars on the right side to move down, I can see the whole article, but often it opens with only one bar on the right side which will not let me get all the way to the end of the page.
It's been happening for several weeks. I got a new computer and it's still happening. Comcast sounds like they've never heard of it. Most recently happened today. I tried the same email link with IE and it opened a new window.

Firefox sent an email to me to confirm that I had asked the above question. The email had a link to click. When I clicked it from Firefox, nothing happened. Then I opened IE, signed into Comcast, opened the email, clicked the link, and it brought me here.

How do I change firefox to open a new window when I start it several times instead of opening a new tab when I want to go to a different location?

I want to go to several different websites at the same time. I want to compare the information on each site. I do not want to open a tab, I want a whole new window. How do I change firefox so it will open a new window instead of opening a new tab and then requesting the site I want to go to?

In Windows XP I am able to right click a link and get an option to open it as a new Firefox window
*'''tear off tabs'''
You will probably note tabs can be dragged along the tab toolbar, they also tear off. You can click a tab and drag it off the browser onto the Windows Desktop where it will open as a new window, or drag it on to another open browser window.
An alternative is to click the tab and drag it down, again it will then open in a new Window.

How can I force a popup to open in a new tab instead of opening a new window?

I want to keep any links that I click from opening a new window, ie. if I click on a link in an open tab that opens a new window, I want it to open in a new tab instead. I am on Firefox 5.0.

You can look at the browser.link.open_newwindow prefs on the about:config page.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction (0)
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow (3)
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

How to Set Individual Managed Metadata Navigation Links to Open in New Window?

I am using a managed metadata term set for the global navigation in my client's site. Most of the global navigation links point to pages in the current site, and should open in the current browser window/tab as the end user is just navigating within the
site content. However, I have one particular node in the navigation term set that points to related content scattered around other external sites. The client wants these links to open a new window.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to set the target for navigation links in the term set. If I was using standard global navigation, I'd be able to select the "Open in new window" checkbox when setting up the link, but that option doesn't appear to be
supported via MMD navigation.
Any clever suggestions?
Thanks!

I had a similarish requirement at a client once upon a time, they wanted any links that went outside of the intranet web applications to open in a new window.
The way we managed that was to use jQuery to overwrite the standard hyperlink references for any hrefs that didn't point to internal sites to use the same javascript functions that SharePoint used for links configured to open in a new window. It worked out
as being about half a dozen lines; check the URL and if it doesn't begin with a set range of options then overwrite the on click behaviour using standard jQuery behaviour.
If you want it site wide then you just add jQuery and the code snippet to the master page, if you just want it in some places then add a CEWP or a HTML form web part to the relevant pages.

How do I get firefox to open a new window when i click on a link in a webpage ?

When I click on a link in a webpage in Firefox, generally it opens the new page in the window i am in (though some times it does not). How do I get it to open a new window (or tab) each time I click a link.
For example, on www.bbc.co.uk if I click on a link, the new page opens in the same window, if I then click another link in the new window, again, it opens in the same window. To get back to the original window, I have to use the back button twice. Surely there is a setting so that all 3 windows can be open on separate tabs or separate windows.
I have been to the tabs window in options, but doesn't seem to make a difference.

Open link/bookmark in new tab in same window:
*Middle-click (press the mouse scroll wheel) the link
*Ctrl+left click the link
*right-click the link, choose "Open Link in New Tab"
Open link/bookmark in new window:
* Shift+Enter on the link
* Shift+left click on the link
