Link not opening in new page

I have a javascript for an array of rotating logos. Each logo is associated with a link. When you click on the logo, the corporate website linked to the logo opens but it does not open in a new page. How do I get it to open in a new page?
The website link is http://lexedfoundation.org
the code calling the links is
<a href=" " onClick="clickLink(); return false;" onMouseOver="descript(); return true;" onMouseOut="window.status=' ' " target="_blank"><img src="images/corp.gif" border=0 name="corp></a>

Gramps,
I'm relatively new to web development and I'm afraid I don't understand what static address I'm supposed to change. I tried substituting the http://www.externalsite.com with clickLink() but that resulted in a "page not found" message. I don't understand what "http://www.externalsite.com" represents since there is a different address for each logo. Could you please be more specific?
Thanks for your help.

Clicking on a link to open a new page or tab gives me a blank page.

If I click on a link to open a new page or a new tab, the page that opens is always blank and no address is in the address bar. Also, occasionally, my refresh button is "grayed" out so I can't hit that either. I think this is some sort of security setting blocking it. Can anyone help.

Thanks Jason, I had the same problem and did exactly the steps above. Problem solved! You rock! :)

Firefox will not open a new page or tab when I click on certain links, why?

Hi,
I have been having a problem with firefox for the past month.
Clicking on some links which open a new tab/window
do not work. For example I cannot enlarge photos
on ebay listings to have a closer look at the image.
I just see a box at the bottom of the screen that
says 'javascript;' then it disappears.
Any ideas how to fix this ?
p.s.I have tried to load in safe mode, but the problem is still there.

Such JavaScript links should show the image in the same tab, so make sure that you left click such links.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/JavaScript
Try to reload the web page(s) and bypass the cache.
* Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
* Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
* Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

Firefox will not open a new page without permission

I need to stop a setting that prevents firefox from opening a new page while at a web site or browsing, and can't figure out which setting or add on is causing the problem.
Help much appreciated! Very annoying!!

Way to click on link to open in new page?

Anyone figure out a way to open a link in a new page? I have a couple of pages I use as "home" pages and I'd like to be able to tap and open a link in a new page to keep the existing page at its site.

I haven't found a way yet. It depends on how the original page was coded.
If it's a page you control, try adding the following to the link anchor tag:
target="_blank". If not, sorry. Maybe it's something they'll add, but honestly, I doubt it (my personal opinion). It would add clutter to a portion of the interface that's working quite smoothly right now. There's no precedent for a 2-fingered tap like holding down a key, and holding down on the URL for a pause already does something.
My two cents. Sorry! I agree it would be very useful.

Flash website - need link to open in new page

I created my web site in Flash and published it as an HTML file. It's a page that has thumbnails. Clicking on a thumbnail should open a new window to view the full-size version.
When I play a SWF file and click on thumbnails, my project opens in a separate window.
When I open my page (published in Flash as HTML) in Dreamweaver and view it in the browser, when I click on thumbnails, instead of opening a new window full-size version overrides the current window contents -- but there is no "back" tab on the content, and the browser "back" tab takes me to the home page rather than back to the previous window.
How do I make it so that the link opens a new window (that can then be closed after viewing) rather than overriding the contents of the existing window after I publish my page as HTML file?
Thanks for suggestions!

My flash published html file works fine, I cannot open my thumbnails in a separate window when I open my HTML file in the browser from Dreamweaver.
It doesn't even open in the different tab. It opens over my viewing page and I have to click "back" in the browser, but it goes back to the main menu not to previous viewing page.
My thumbnails and links to the full-size files are in a separate XML file.
Thanks again

Link to open on new page

Is there a way to have links from a web page to open on a new page? Right now my links open on the same page so I need to go back to see the original page where the link is.
Thank you.

Bonjour,
Publish your website
Visit it
Gets the URL of the page you want to open in an new window.
iWeb :
select one word (or more) on your page
inspector > Link > hyperlink > Check "Enable as an hyperlink" -> link to a external Page - paste your URL > Check "Open Link in a new window"

Links not opening in new window

I have everything set properly, but the links will not open in a new window, even though the box is checked. What could be causing this. It is very important that some particular links open in a new window. Website is adstreet.com and the link is the Apparel & Specialties link. Any ideas?

You're referring to these links at the bottom, correct?
HOME • ABOUT US • PORTFOLIO • CLIENTS • TESTIMONIALS • APPAREL & SPECIALTIES
Use the text tool to select whichever text has links you want to have open in a new window, then click on Hyperlink in the Control Strip and check the box for "Open the link in a new window or tab".

Links not opening as new tabs in Safari window

I have set my Safari preferences so that when I click a link, it should open a new tab in the current window yet it never works. A clicked URL brings up a new window and I'm constantly merging all the windows into one.
Any ideas why this preference might not be holding?
Thanks!

Unless this occurs for every link you click, the problem is due to the fact that some links are coded in the HTML to open in new windows. In Safari, those links will open in a new window no matter what you do. Only links that are coded to open normally (i.e. in the same window) will open in a new tab when Command-clicked. In other words, Safari is just not set up to override how a link is coded, as Firefox and some other browsers are. Safari honors the "new window" HTML.
There is a way to get around this without using third-party software. It requires using Terminal to change Safari's default behavior. It's a very simple change, essentially just toggling a hidden setting to the "on" position, and shouldn't cause any problems as some "hacks" can do.
To do this, simply open Terminal (in the Applications/Utilities folder) and paste the following command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true
And hit the Return key. Quit and relaunch Safari.
If you want to reverse this change, enter the following command in Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool false
And then the Return key.

When I click a link to open the page in new tab, it open the new page beside my page.

After I update FireFox to version 3.6.8, I could not open the new page in the last tab, it always opens the new page in beside the tab.
Mmm…I could not make sure the new page or new tab I said is the same with you…?? (I use Chinese version so that I don’t know if it’s the same or not…)
A window could open several pages with different tabs, and I could click different tab to different page, right?
If I right clicked a link to open the page to “new tab” in the same window, the new tab opened in the last tab of my window.
But after I update FireFox to version 3.6.8 and I click a link to open the page to “new tab” in the same windoe, the new tab will open beside my page. (Mmm…Open on right of my page.)
I would like the “new tab” open to the last tab in my window, not “beside” the tab I used. How could I change the setting??)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After I update FireFox to 3.6.8

That feature isn't new to 3.6.8, it was changed in 3.6.
Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Filter = '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent'''
Double-click that preference to change the value to '''''false'''''

Link to url, "_self" is opening a new page...

I am trying to get my button to navigate to _self and the link is opening a new page. Is there something wrong in my code?
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("myurl"), "_self");
Thank you in advance for any help!

both parameters are strings or string variables. you're using a variable (which shouldn't be in quotes).
here's a sample: http://www.kglad.com/Files/forums/Untitled-2.html

Can i Open a new page behind the current one in the browser?

Using Safari, if I press a link to 'open in new page' is there a way to have the new page open behind the current one? I can choose it on my laptop browser(windows). It's really annoying when I choose 'open in new page' and the current one is whisked away, then I have to minimise it and go back to the original.

There are other browsers available that have the tabs feature which is so much handier when navigating from page to page like you want to do.
Look at iCab (my favorite), Mercury and Atomic. All three have many more features than Safari has.

PDF in Frame - Open Web Link does not open in new window

I actually have 2 problems.
1. Acrobat 7.0.9. Added a link to open a web page. When the pdf is viewed from within a frame on a web page, the web page link in the pdf does not open in a new window but replaces the pdf in the frame.
2. If I download the pdf to my workstation and open it and click on the link, it does open in a new window BUT opens up 2 browser windows where the 2nd one opened is blank (yes, I am single clicking on the link)
Issue 1 occurs in both IE 6, IE 7 and Firefox ?.??

Global Policy Link Does Not Open A New Browser Window

Hi All,
On 11.5.10.2 version
Global Policy Link which is located at the top of most iExpenses pages is
supposed to open a dynamic web page (Core policy manuals) on a new browser when
someone clicks on it. Currently this link, when clicked on it, brings the
correct page on the same browser.
I need the page to be opened in new window.
if not so, i need a alternate solution to open in new window
Thanks in advance,
Vali

Respectfully, that answer isn't particularly helpful. I have already demonstrated that middle-clicking (mouse wheel click) will open a new instance of FF, and other programs. This was true before the upgrade from FF4 to FF6, and is true on all my VM builds (Windows 7 default install with nothing but FF installed).
Nevertheless, I've tried shift-left-click, and it does not open a new instance. It will only open a new instance if I pin FF to the taskbar, which I have already stated I do not want to do. This new behaviour is unique to FF. Other applications (Word, Excel, Internet Explorer, whatever) all behave as expected. It is only Firefox that is misbehaving, and it is only misbehaving since the upgrade.
My issue is that FF has changed its behaviour with respect to middle-clicking since upgrading from 4 to 6. I'd welcome helpful comments about getting FF to behave.

Is this in safari?
try going into settings, safari and clear history. You may also want to clear cookies (means you will need to sign back into sites)
It's possible that that page is a popup ad of some sort that can't run, for example a flash based ad. You may have picked the cookie up browsing the internet and now that it's in there the only way to get rid of it is to clear your history and cookies.
