Link to open up in new browser window

Hi everyone,
I need a link to open up in a new browser window but don't want to use the target attribute as it's deprecated. Can someone tell me if Dreamweaver has any built-in javascript behaviours that will do this for me?
Appreciate any help.

Yes, it's called Open Browser Window: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7b0 7a.html.
A more sophisticated version is my SmartLink extension, which is available free from http://foundationphp.com/tools/.

  • 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.

  • Can I have links open in a new browser window?

    Is it possible to have links to pages outside of my website to open in a new browser window?
    I've created a podcast for my students to listen to.
    I've also created a kind of fill-in-the-blank activity to go along with that podcast, but that activity requires a different window.
    I want my students to listen to the podcast and do the fill-in at the same time.
    So, I'd like for the students to open the link to the fill-in and then click on the podcast on the original page.
    Advice?

    changing podcast links is a bit difficult - but here is a general link of how to open windows in a new window:

  • Open portlet in new browser window

    Anyone know of a way to open a portlet, or a page containing a portlet, from a link into a new browser window? This is different than showDetailsPage, which opens in the same browser window.
    Thanks.

    I tried to do this through Item Attributes for the portlet (clicking the little pencil), where there is a radio button for "Display Options."
    One choice is: "Link That Displays Item in New Browser Window."
    (I do have something in for the "Display Name" which seems to be required to get a link.)
    However, this doesn't seem to work. No link shows.
    (It works fine for
    I have tested this with a Discoverer portlet, and also with a more generic portlet (the "Developer News" portlet in the 9iAS Community portlet provider).
    Is this broken / a bug?

  • 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.

  • Open QT In New Browser Window - Followup Q For Quicktime Kirk

    Quicktime Kirk:
    I found a thread a few months ago (now archived) where you explained how to open a QT movie in a new browser window at specified dimensions. The example you gave was your page:
    http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/bushbashquiz/
    So I've got it all working and it looks great in Safari and Fireworks (thanks very much!), BUT unfortunately it does not work in Explorer. What happens in Explorer is that the window basically targets "_.self" (i.e. the parent window goes away), and when you click the "Close Window" button it closes the window and you're left with nothing.
    I know that Explorer has all kinds of bugs, but unfortunately it's popular -- esp. with the PC crowd whom I need to allow for. Do you or anyone know how to get this functionality working in Explorer???
    Thanks again.

    Yep. I just checked the link using IE for Mac. The "pop-up" window replaces the source window (not supposed to do that). Another reason to no longer use IE on a Mac.
    The javascript is valid in every other Mac browser. Just not IE, it seems.
    My PC is down (I think it really died this time) so I can't test its implementation of javascripts on a PC platform.
    And, you're correct. It doesn't work as it should when opened using IE on a Mac.
    I "borrowed" the javascript and it must contain errors that are not so obvious on the Mac OS.
    I'll look for the cause but can't promise a solution. Thank you for pointing this out. I try very hard to accommodate all browsers and OS's. This one skipped by me (no IE use in years on my Mac).
    Maybe a javascript guru can "fix" my (or IE's) sloppy page code.

  • "Go to URL" not opening in a new browser window

    We are using FrameMaker 10 and RoboHelp 9 in a Windows 7 environment.
    When we create hypertext links, we use the "Go to URL" command.  According to the FrameMaker 10 online help, this is what the command is supposed to do: "Launches browser and displays the specified Web page."
    Then we publish the content to RoboHelp's WebHelp.
    When we see the hypertext link in the WebHelp/HTML output, it looks like this: http://www.adobe.com
    When we click it, the Web page appears inside the content frame of the WebHelp.  It does not open a new browser window.
    We can manually go into the html file and look at the hypertext link.  It looks like this in the WebHelp output:
    <span class="FM_Link"><a href="http://www.adobe.com">www.adobe.com</span>
    In order to manually change the link so that it opens the Web page in a new browser window, we can edit the link as follows:
    <span class="FM_Link"><a href="http://www.adobe.com" target="_blank">www.adobe.com</span>
    After we manually edit the HTML file, save it, launch the WebHelp, and click the hypertext link...it now opens the Web page in a new browser window.
    Is there a way to create the hypertext link in FrameMaker so that the WebHelp output will open the Web page in a new browser window?
    Thank you in advance!
    Tim

    Please see the previous posts in this thread to review how you create hyperlinks in FrameMaker that open the Web page in a new browser window.
    The problem is this: If you publish the exact same file to PDF, the hyperlinks will not work.
    The properties (syntax) of the hyperlinks in PDF output need to look like this: http://www.adobe.com
    The hyperlink syntax in WebHelp (in FrameMaker) needs to look like this: http://www.adobe.com" target="_blank
    (...so when they are published to Webhelp, they look like this: "http://www.adobe.com" target="_blank")
    Other than going into either the HTML or the PDF output and manually changing each hyperlink URL syntax for the specific output, is there a syntax that opens a new browser window in both PDF and HTML with one single "Go to URL" command?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I am aware of the LinkToURL view element. Unfortunately i would prefer to use a button element instead of the LinkToURL elementl. Can anyone provide me with a solution? Maybe there is a possibility to implement the needed coding in the action assigned to the button.
