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

Try the method on this demo page: Opening Item in New Specially Sized Window.

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 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...

Link in Wiki server to open in new window

I have some Wikis that have links pointing to external sites.
Is there a way in the 'enter URL' menu option to make a link open in a new window?
Hope someone can help.
Thanks

Introduce a "target=blank" into the HTML code!

Left clicking on some links doesn't load, but opening in new tab always works.

The best way to share this problem was with a video. So here's a short 7 second gif demonstrating the problem.
http://i.imgur.com/k5Rs2WJ.gif
Basically on some links, generally on a google search but occasionally elsewhere, if I left click to open them it will not load, it shows it's loading, but doesn't. If I middle click to open new tab, loads just fine 10/10 times. I've tested the same links on both IE and Chrome, and they work fine, so it does appear to be isolated to Firefox.

I think I might have figured it out. It occured to me while I only have a couple of addons (adblock, cookieExFilter and Remove Google Tracking) that remove Google tracking .. might interfere with clicking on a link. And apparently it does. Though I'd have to continue to use without the addon for a while to be sure of it.

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...

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.

When tabs are on top options is on; if I click a link (which is set to open in new window by web site or addon) the new opened page's tabs goes beyond the screen limit. when i restore down and restore up the page it gets its normal form.

I don't even know if that's possible, and I have so far not seen any unusual activity on the computer.
No, it's not even remotely possible. What you encountered was an attempt to scam you, and a pathetic one at that.
Identity theft in general is a significant threat to any computer (a term encompassing Macs, PCs, iPads, iPhones...) user. However, that threat most commonly arises in the form of "phishing" and you didn't play along with it. The likely reason the email appeared to have come from one of your previous eBay vendors is that his email address was harvested using any number of methods. The email probably didn't even originate with him. eBay is a rich source for obtaining such information.
eBay has a fairly helpful guide on the subject: http://pages.ebay.com/help/account/recognizing-spoof.html
To answer your specific questions:
Is there any malware or other harmful/malicious computer code--read, something that could steal my identity if/when I do my taxes online this year--currently known to be a threat to home non-business Mac computers?
No.
So, in summary: Should I be worried that I fell for some new (since 2013) method of unknowingly downloading malicious software to my Mac?
No — although Mac-targeted adware has arisen since that time and is a rapidly growing annoyance that can make using your Mac practically impossible, it will not directly cause information theft as you have described it concerns you. Furthermore, it requires your participation to install it in the form of an Admin name and password — and it requires deception to convince you to supply those credentials. Learn more about how that happens here: How to install adware.

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.

HTML Container - pdf-file opens a new window

I use the ITS Webservice PZ04.
There is included a html container who shows the pdf-file inside this area.
Now I have the effect, that this pdf-file will opena a new window, but not inside the html container!?
First action before I have had this effect was the MS question-alert 'How you will open this file' Open/Download/Cancel - you know. - it never done before -
What can I do to open my pdf-file inside the html container? It runs some times.
Thanks!

thank you for your answer, but it wasn't the solution.
I don't open the iView in a new window.
I open the iView (as IAC WebService via ITS) and the applacation generated a html container with pdf file!
And this pdf-file opens in a new window.
The Application runs up to now very good.
I think any value was changed and I don't know which.
It's possible the modification solved under MS or adobe!?
Solution: First Deinstallation and then Installation of Acrobate Reader.

SRW.SET_HYPERLINK - Handle SPACE in filename AND open in NEW WINDOW

Report 10g (10.1.2.3.0 - 32bit on Windows 7 64bit)
Issue #1:
using srw.set_hyperlink to get a handle on *.pdf file on remote server. Report is launched as PDF. PDF that is opened via the URL launches in same window as report. I need run report as PDF, click hyperlink to get handle on another file which should launch in New Window.
SRW.SET_HYPERLINKATTR only useful with HTML and HTMLCSS. Javascript? If so, sample code?
Issue #2:
possible that file retrieved will have spaces in its name. Hyperlink defaults %20 in the spaces of the name, but the link does not successfully retrieve file. Tried replacing spaces w/ %20, but like defaults does not retrieve document; due to actual file name not having the %20 in its actual name. Is there are way to account for the spaces in the URL then "remove" them to find the correct file and open in new window?
Tried using virtual path as well as physical path.
Help with either or both issues is truly appreciated,
Thanks!!

Hello,
When you set the property "Hyperlink", the property "Additionnal Hyperlink Attributes (HTML)" is displayed. Set this property to :
target="_blank"

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.

Target Document open in new window DEFAULT?

Hello,
I am working with a 50+ page document, each page has a TON of links, some shoot to websites, other pages in the document and finally... launches new PDFs on the DVD (to specific pages).
My question is this: I am going through Acrobat and modifing all the buttons that launch other PDFs. After I set the link, i have to modifiy that link to have the document "Open in: New Window"
Is there a way to automate that? Set that option to be default? This would cut a ton of time out.
Thanks in advance!

It doesn't happen that way here. A new instance is always opened when I invoke from the run box.
