IWeb - cant adjust hyperlinks to open page in new window

Anyone know of a work around to this obvious shortcoming? ...other then hacking the html code? the website is: www.apexjiujitsu.com
My Links page is the one that I'd like to set parent=_ or whatever the value is for new window instead of same window

Hi all.
New to iWeb as well and am enjoying creating my website.
Having played with HTML in the past and dreamweaver for creating pages, remembered there is a way to do this in a non-iweb way.
The extra code that needs to be added at the end of your link is:
target="_blank"
Now how to get that in your iWeb page.
What I did (worked for me each time) - copy the page you want to edit from your iDisk in the Finder window to a folder on your mac. Make sure to make a copy of this file in case you want to go back to the original.
- Next open the page in Netscape (using ver 7.2). Pics did not show as I did not copy those.
- In Netscape click File, Open File. Just navigate to your page location and click Open.
One really neat feature I like about Netscape is that it comes with a built in web page editing tool.
- Click File, Edit Page. Editing window appears.
- Find the link you want to change and double-click it. It may try to open the link in new window, if it doesn't, don't worry about it. Or give you an error - close the error window.
- Go back to the editing window and double-click on the link again. You should see a drop-down menu appear.
- Click Advanced edit. There are two columns here - Attribute and Value.
Attribute is what you want - ie open in a new window (target) and the Value is what happens next ie. opens the link in a new window.
- Click on the Attribute drop-down at the bottom and choose "target".
- Click on the Value drop-down and choose "_blank" (usually defaults to this).
- Click OK and then OK again.
Close the file and make sure to save.
All I did then was copy the edited page to the iDisk folder wence it came from and overwrote the original (did you save a copy of the original in a safe location?).
Opened the page in Safari or any other browser and voila' - link now opens in a new window/tab.
Sorry for the long winded reply explanation. Wanted to be sure I didn't miss anything. ***Just be sure to save a copy of the original page your working on in a safe place in case you need to revert to the original.***
Hope this helps.
ps. Agree, adding an option to open links in new window should be put into the enhancements to come for iWeb.

    How Can I Open Page In New Window when I press In Command button or link??
    Thank You.

    Hi,
    You have to set the "useWindow" property on the button to "true", and the action must start with "dialog:", like "dialog:action". And, in adfc-config.xml you have to have navigation defined also with "dialog:action".
    <af:commandButton text="Button"
             action="dialog:action"
             useWindow="true">
    {code}

  • Open Page in new window using hyper link

    I put the window.open method on OnClick event of outputlink to open a page in new window, but the page is started in a old window.
    How do I start the page in a new window.
    My sintaxe of outputlink:
    <h:outputLink binding="#{P0110.hyperlink1}" id="hyperlink1"
    onclick="WindowObjectReference = window.open('about:blank', '','menubar=yes,location=yes,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes');" value="http://www.sun.com/jscreator">
    </h:outputLink>

    Hi,
    Following are the steps to open a new window using the window.open method for the hyperlink component:
    1. Drag and drop a hyperlink component onto the page
    2. In the properties sheet go to the Value property and delete the value present there
    3. Click on the ... button next to the onclick property
    4. Enter the line of code given below:
    window.open("http://www.yahoo.com","New window");
    5. Save and run the project
    On clicking on the hyperlink a new window will open with the www.yahoo.com page.
    Hope this helps
    Cheers

    Hi ,
    though i am not able to answer, i can get some answer for my question.
    How the link item is handled thru the ActionType and event in the Client Action..?
    The reason for this question is that we are trying to extend the customer search page in AR - EBSR12. there the search result page has the Account Name as a link and the Action event says viewAccountName and the action type says firePartialAction. I am trying to understand this so that i can add more parameters to the link so that i can use them in the target page of the link..
    Any help is appreciated..
    Thanks

  • Open Page in new window from button

    I have a button that need to open up a page in new window when clicked. The page it needs to open is dynamic and stored in an item called 'P0_STUDENT_RECORD_LIST'.
    I added this to item pre-element text:
    <button onclick="javascript:PopupSTUDENT()">
    How can I get the function to open the page name stored in the item?
    Is there a different method I should use?
    function PopupSTUDENT(){  popUp('f?p=&APP_ID.:DYNAMIC_PAGE_NAME:&SESSION.::NO:::');}

    how about this:
    function PopupStudent()
    javascript:window.open('f?p=&APP_ID.:&DYNAMIC_PAGE_NAME.:&SESSION.::NO.:::','Popup','width=800,height=500,scrollbars=1,resizable=1');

    VG,
    I think you should be able to open in a new window using the javascript in the function defn,
    please check the blog http://mukx.blogspot.com/2007/07/javascript-in-oa-framework.html and try it out.
    Let me know if you are not able to achieve the same.

  • Open page in new window when click on HELP TAB

    Hi
    I have a number of tabs which work on my pages. My very last Tab is a Help Tab.
    What I'm trying to achieve is that when a person clicks on the Help tab, the page should open in a new window.
    The rest of the tabs should function normally, ie just switch pages in the same window.

  • 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,

    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/
    *Read the information on the above page
    *Set options for the add-on: Add-ons > Extensions, click Options next to the specific Extension (the 2 options are defined/explained in the above page).

  • How do I get all hyperlinks to open in a new tab instead of redirecting the open page?

    Simply put, when I hit a hyperlink I do NOT want the page I'm on to go to the linked URL -- I want the new URL to appear in a new and separate tab. FF used to do this just fine -- until I "upgraded" to 5.0.1 yesterday.
    Between this and the smaller screen size for the FF browser I'm thinking of jumping ship back to Chrome...

    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.

  • Is there a way to open an iWeb page in 'new' window?

    I'm trying to show a client how to run iWeb so he can tweak his own site on the road. He doesn't know html. I don't want to have to write out a complicated list of instructions for him.
    Is there a way IN iWeb to have an iWeb page open as a 'new' window?
    He's a songwriter ... wants visitors to be able to open a song and have it play while they continue to browse his site.

    Ben:
    When you create a text link to an file you can set it to open in another window by setting it up as an external page checking the appropriate checkbox in the Inspector/Link pane. . You would have to upload the file to the Music folder on the iDisk beforehand and then use the following URL:
    http://homepage.mac.com/youraccount_name/.Music/FileName
    Note the dot before Music in the URL. Don't forget it. See the link titled *"This sentence is linked to a jpg file."* in this demo page. It's linked to a photo but the principle is the same.

  • Can a hyperlink open in a new window in the latest Pages

    I am creating hyperlinks in a Pages doc, and exporting as a pdf to sell as an ebook. I have yet to see a way of when creating a link to a web page setting it to open in a new window if they have the pdf opened in a browser. Any thoughts?

    Unfortunately, no Pages version has a link inspector/editor that enables the use of HTML attributes, in this case, target="_blank";  that would open the link in a new page (or tab).

  • How can I make a specific page open in a new window when clicked from a menu?

    Don't know if its possible but I have one specific page I want to open in a new window in the browswer when clicked on from a widget menu.  I know how to go in and put the coding in but it would be nice if there is some option in Muse to do that already.  Any suggestions? Thanks for any help.

    ryanj4799 You'll need to change the Menu Type to Manual in the widget's options and add the links yourself. Then go to the Hyperlinks panel. Check the option to open in a new tab/window.
