IWeb link opening in a external (new) browser window.

Dear members:
After making several unsuccessful attempts to find this information I decided to post a questions here to see if anyone has the answer.
I have created two web site with several web pages in iWeb but haven't been able to add links to a page that open not in that same page but to open in an extra (external) browser window. Is there a way to make a link open in a different browser window than the one that has the page with the link ?
Another question I have refers to iWeb's display of some images. For my web sites I chose one of the templates offered with the program. In one of the pages there are small portions of text followed by a square image next to it. Some of the images in iWeb work as placeholders that are replaced by the final images once they are dragged and dropped over them. However, this small images following the text don't behave like that. They simply aren't replaced. I tried to "overlay" the final images over the template ones thinking that once the site was published they would be replaced. Actually, after posting the web site I noticed that when the pages load the template images show up first and them the ones I placed over them beginning to cover them.
Why is this happening and how can I solve this problem ?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Joseph Chamberlain

Dear varkgirl:
Thank you very much for your help and valuable suggestion.
I've tried your suggestion but ran into some problems. The links I am trying to open in another window are actually PDF files that the viewer can download from my website.
Since I was having problems I decided to try something else. After publishing the website to my desktop I then opened the pages where the links are in Dreamweaver. The layout view is great and displayed the image just the way it appears on the browser's window. I first selected the "link button" to the file and then in the inspector windows (bottom of the page) I chose under target the "_blank" option. This tells the software that the linked page or file is to be opened in a new blank browser window. I then saved the page (re-saved it over the existing file) to incorporate the changes. After this I proceeded to navigate through the website and everything works great.
Thank you for your help and suggestions. I just thought I would post this here in case it may be of help to you as well as others.
Best regards,
Joseph Chamberlain

Open view in a new browser window

Hi all,
I want to open a view in a new browser window.
I try this two code:
1)IWDWindow window=
wdControllerAPI.getComponent().getWindowManager().createExternalWindow(
          "http://www.google.it","google",false);
but in this case i can only open an url...
2)IWDWindowInfo windowInfo = wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("ExternalWindow");
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createWindow(windowInfo,true);
but in this case it open an internal windows, not an external new browser windows...
What can i do?
Thanks!

Hello Andrea,
you should call not "http://www.google.it" but result of something like this:
     public static String resolveURL(String dcName, String applicationName) throws EntryNotFoundException, WDURLException
          IWDDeployableObject deployableObject = WDDeployableObject.getDeployableObject(dcName);
          if(null!=deployableObject && WDDeployableObjectState.STARTED.equals(deployableObject.getState()))
               boolean found = false;
               int i = 0;
               WDDeployableObjectPart[] parts = deployableObject.getParts(WDDeployableObjectPartType.APPLICATION);
               if(parts!=null)
                    for(;i<parts.length;i++)
                         if( applicationName.equals(parts<i>.getShortName()))
                              found = true;
                              break;
               if(found)
                    return WDURLGenerator.getApplicationURL(parts<i>, null);
               else
                    throw new EntryNotFoundException( "Application '" + applicationName + "' not found" );
          } else {
               throw new EntryNotFoundException( "Application '" + applicationName + "' not found in '" + dcName + "'" );

Opening a servlet in new browser window

Does anyone know how you can make a servlet open in a a new browser window when clicking a link for that servlet.
cheers

Hi..
do
window.open("http://localhost:8080//yourservlet-path//servlet-name");
you can also set window properties, they are passed as parameters to window.open
see syntax of window.open. but this thing will open your servlet in a new window with default properties.

Link That Displays Item In New Browser Window

Hi,
We use Oracle Portal Version: 10.1.4.0.0 (Build: 594).
We've found that the following setting doesn't seem to work.
Link That Displays Item In New Browser Window
Even with that set on items, items ALWAYS open up in the same window,..not a new one.
Has anyone else experienced this or is it just us?
thanks

Hi, this is a "bug". You need patch 5026969 to solve it.
More info is in note 358722.1 - Items Are Opened In The Same Browser Window Even Though The Option 'Link That Displays Item In New Browser Window' Is Set.

Portlet Item Attr: "Link That Displays Item in New Browser Window"

I have been searching the forums for a similar experience, but haven't found anything quite like this:
I have a couple of portlets. One is a Discoverer Portlet, the other is something more basic: The "Developer News" portlet from the 9iAS Community portlet provider.
After defining the portlets and looking at them, I edit the page and click the Edit button (little pencil) to edit the attributes.
There are radio buttons for Display Options.
One option is: "Link that Displays Item in New Browser Window."
When I select this, OK, and then go back to the page, **the portlet doesn't show at all any more! There is no link, no nothing. Note that I have defined a Display Name, which should be the text for the link.
It would seem that this feature flat out doesn't work.
This technique for a popup works fine for an "Item" defined in an item region.
Anyone?

Yes -- I did do that after reading an article on metalink about such issues.
This actually changes the problem.
When I add the "Display name and image link" attribute to the region, I now do get a link.
However, clicking it brings up an undefined Discoverer portlet.
It works great for non-Disco portlets. For instance, I was able to pop up the "Developer News" portlet from the Oracle 9iAS Community portlet provider.
I think the problem is that the link that Disco produces does not provide enough information to bring up the particular portlet. For instance, the URL does not have the workbook name, the worksheet name, the parameter values, etc.
If anyone uses Disco w/ the portal, I would be curious to hear if anyone can reproduce this apparent bug / limitation.

Forcing link in one web based PDF to open link to another PDF in new browser window

We have created a form using LiveCycle Designer ES2. The form is found on our website and is used by faculty to submit proposal information to our office. Depending upon the answers to questions in the form if they say yes we had a link to another form that we would like them to complete and submit with the original PDF that they are working on. The problem that we are having is that when they click on the form it opens the new PDF and all the data that they had entered in the original PDF is gone once the new form opens up. Is there a way to force the new PDF via the use of some scripting that can go along with the link, or via the use of a button that can force the new form to open in a new browser window? It is impractical for us to expect 1500 faculty members to change their browser settings to open new PDF's in a new window. We have removed the links for now and have just put in text that says if they select yes they need to go out and complete the additional form.
The form we are using can be found here: http://spo.usu.edu/files/uploads/SP-01.pdf
The first three questions on page two where we reference the other forms is where we would like to be able to add the links to the new forms and have them open in a new browser window. When the form is downloaded and opened in Adobe Acrobat/Reader the links functioned correctly, it just did not function properly when it opens in a browser.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer in regards to this issue.

I used a button, removed the border/fill properties and underlined the caption to look like a URL.
The click event is...
// form1.page1.subform1.urlBtn::click - (JavaScript, client)
app.launchURL("http://spo.usu.edu/files/uploads/SP-01.pdf",true);
The PDF will open in a new window or tab, depending upon the browser configuration.

Open discoverer report in new browser window and without connections page

RoboHelp 8 HTML - Open Hyperlinks in a New Browser Window

[email protected]
Hi all,
I’m new to the RoboHelp community and have an issue I have not yet seen addressed elsewhere in the forums. I’m working in RoboHelp 8 HTML and am generating webhelp. My question is regarding hyperlink options. The option for open in a new window opens topics and links in a new tab. Is there a method, hacking or otherwise, for having the links open in a new browser window?
Much thanks in advance.

Hi,
Welcome to Adobe forum,
As I understand you are trying to open the hyperlinks in a new window instead of a tab.
Well it is possible in Robohelp 8 HTML
Here are the steps which you need to follow.
1. Select the text Right click on it and then select Insert Hyperlink.
Once you click on the Insert Hyperlink another Popup window will appear in your screen.
You need to check this screenshot and select the appropriate option.
Try and generate the Webhelp and see if that helps you,
I hope that will resolve your issue.Please reply if that resolves your issue.
Thanks

Opening driving directions in new browser window

I have installed the Web Assist Google Pro Maps extension and
would like for the div containing the driving directions results:
<div id="wagmp_directions_2"
to appear in a new browser window.
However, when I open the tag inspector, it says "locked
region" for the Google maps divs, even though I detached the php
page from the template. Any ideas?

Sorry, mixed up my versions a bit. The following code doesn't open a new window.

        catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();

Opening remote page in new browser window

Hi there,
my applet used the browser window as its frame, that means there is nothing else but the applet. I need to call a page from the same server as the applet resides, but to display the page in a new browser window. The following code could do the job, but caused the browser to block the popup.
applet.getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL
                        ("http://mydomain/mypage.jsp"),"_blank");I'm wondering whether I could access a servlet from my applet and let the servlet accomplish this and how to.
It would be also of interest whether it is possible to do the same with a page from a remote server and triggering the client to display the page in a new window.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Stephan

Open calling form in new browser window

HI,
I am using forms 9i. From menu item, i am calling a form using call_form, the called form is opening in same window, my requirement is the called forms want to open in new browser window. I am using mdi window.
Any idea ?
Regards
Ramesh babu

If you look in your browser address field, you will see your current forms has a (probably very) long url, one section of which is the form name. Now, you can use this as the URL argument in a WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT() call. However:
(1) if your URL doesn't include the userid, etc. (very likely in a production situation) you will have to log in again.
(2) as (1) might lead to suspect, you are in a new database session.
Why do you want to do this?
Cheers, APC

Drill to link - How can integrate the new browser window inside the report

Hi, I'm using Discoverer Plus/Viewer 10.1.2.48.18 and I just created successfully a "Drill to Link to an Internet Page" related to my field "Ticket Id"
So, when, from Viewer, I select the link, a new tab from a new browser session is opend and I see all the details related to the Ticket Id chosen.
This is right because on the manual is written:
Discoverer behaves as follows: if you drill out to an Internet page, Discoverer displays the Internet page in a new browser window.
Now my question is this: is there a way or a workaround to integrate the new browser window's content inside my report ?
In other words, instead to see the all the Ticket id details (graphs included) in a new browser window, my customer asked me to see these details inside the same report, just below the field with the link.
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks
Alex

Opening a JSP in new Browser window

Hi friends i want to open a JSP into new Window.
Mean from one jsp i want to call another JSP,
which should open in another browser window, and it should fills the feild automatically with default values.
Can any one give my an idea how to implement this.

Open links in new browser window

We are using Oracle WCI 10.3/Collaboration 10.3 and have a Community Links Portlet (collab portlet) setup. The links open up in the same browser window and to get back to the portal, the user has to hit the back button on the browser. So,
1) Is there a portal/collaboration configuration that enables links to open up in a new browser window?
2) Is there a way to hide the address bar when the link opens up in a new window? (the reason for this question is, we may have a link to some applications where we don't want the user going in directly. So, by hiding the address bar, they can't copy the URL and access directly without going in through the portal).
If there is any better way to do question 2 above, would appreciate the feedback.
Thanks.

I was able to figure this out:
1) In the My Account section, under display preferences, there is an option to "open documents in same window" or "new window". By changing this, links in the Community Links portlet open up in a new browser window.
2) With a simple javascript example that I found on the internet, I was able to customize the popup browser window with no address bar or menu buttons.
