Links open with a new window help

I'm trying make my links on my website open with a new window. This way the customer won't have to find his way back to the site. I found this thread-http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=339861
It looks to be pretty helpful but I can't figure out how to edit the html file after I published it. Any suggestions?

Welcome ny854
You might want to try using an html editor like Taco HTML Edit to open html files, I find it makes them much easier to read.
Your file is viewing as a web page because Safari is probably set as the default app to open html files.
What you need to do is press the "ctrl" key when you click on the file in your iDisk, this will give you a menu, choose Open With, then choose the app that you want to open the file with from the list that you see. If you use text edit (launch the app, go to Text Edit > Preferences > Click Open and Save > Check “Ignore rich text commands in html files”).

How do I make all links open in a new window?

I have some RSS feeds on my website. If you click one of their headlines it takes you to that source to read the story. Is there a way to make all hyper links on a webpage open in a new window? If not, is there a way to make the individual links open in a new window? The website is http://www.businessfixer.net/articles

Mark,
Target: e.g. <a href=”#” target=”_blank”> is deprecated (outdated) code. Strict doc types will not pass validation.
OP,
Most people know how to use their browsers BACK button to return to a site. Or better yet, right click on links to open them inside new tabs or windows. This should almost always be a user's decision and not a web designer's decision.
If you have all links open in new windows/tabs, In no time at all, user's browser will be stuffed with them which is ugly and can diminish browser performance.
If you need to open a new window on SELECT links, use the Behaviors Panel, press the Plus sign (+) and select Open Browser Window. Repeat this for all links you want opened in new windows.

Firefox 15.0.1 stops responding (100% cpu) when a link opens in a new window.

Whenever I click a link that is designed to open in a new window Firefox goes straight to 100% cpu usage and I have to go through the Windows "end now" sequence to close the program. I've tried opening one of the links in a new window but I think it was done in java not html (not sure if all the links are java when this happens as that's the only one I've tested). Not sure what details someone might need but this is on my Mom's older laptop with Windows XP Media Center Edition Ver. 2002 Service Pack 2. Hmmm just saw the SP2 will try to update and see what that does though I don't think that's the issue.

So what is happening or not happening now ? The problem computer is your Moms, but I assume your own computer works ok. Have you tried that on the same internet connection as your Mom uses & visiting the same sites?
Also try Internet Explorer. If that is also very slow the problem may not lie with Firefox.
I suggest you try the Firefox Reset feature on your Mom's computer,
* BUT first of all
**make a note of the software extensions that are in use, and bookmark their download and support sites.
** back up the Firefox profile [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
* follow the instructions in the following article, after reading the caution about what will be lost
**[[Reset Firefox preferences to troubleshoot and fix problems]]

Links open in a new window...

I have a rotating banner that I have created and it receives it's image and url info from an XML document. When you click on the image displayed it takes you to the correct link but it opens it in a new window. Is there a way to make the link open in the current window? Thanks in advance!

navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://your.link"),"_self");

Whenever I open a new window of firefox a new tab opens with the new window. How do I get it to stop doing that?

Whenever I open a new window of Firefox, the new window opens at the hope page (like I want it to), but then a tab opens up with the new window. I want Firefox to stop doing this. When I open a new window I just want the window to open. I don't know how to fix this as I have know idea how I made this happen. This first happened when I hit control + N to open a new window, but I didn't hit the "N" cleanly. I pressed one of the other keys around the "N" and this issue started.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Since Firefox just upgraded, every LINK opens in a new window instead of a new or current tab. PLEASE HELP

Since install of version 3.6.8, every link I click on opens a new window instead of the current or new tab. No changes in my settings were made. I had no problems until the 3.6.8 was installed.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

New links opening in a new window instead of a new tab?

In my tabs the option is set to open new links in a new tab, yet firefox keeps opening new links in a new window. Any help to get this back to opening in new tabs? I think this has been happening since i downloaded the 4.0.1 update yesterday.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

What good are tabs if links open in a new window?

I seem to be gradually switching to all Apple: first the computer, then to Mail from Thunderbird, then iWork from OpenOffice, now I'm giving Safari a try, and I'm puzzled: there seems to be no way to get links to open in a new page.
At least when I selected what I thought was that option I has no effect. And what I thought applied to that option has the curious explanation that it applies only to links opened from other applications.
What purpose then is served by tabs.
Thanks,
Eric Weir

Go to System Preferences >> Mouse.
Set the scroll wheel to Button 3. Now when you mouse over a link, hit the scroll as a button, the link will now open in a new tab.
I agree with the OP, why can't we have the option like we did/do with Firefox?

Content target link opens in a new window!!

hi
i'm designing this HTML website with dreamweaver 8, it's a
frameset devided into 3 frames top frame(navigation) , left frame
(ads) and right/middle frame (content frame) and i have the flash
navigation menu placed on the top frame, when a link is clicked it
should be opened in the same page in the content frame(parent
target) anyway it was working fine untill i upgraded the IE6 to IE7
now it opens in another page (blank target) although i specified in
the flash coding that the link is targeted in the content frame.
getURL("../services_en/services_en.html", "content");
Is there any special tag for the IE7 or what?
Thanx alot

Hi Arun,
name1.setComponent is for rendering hover menus.
You could do the following.
String navigationAction = "EPCM.doNavigate('"+str3+"',1);";
if (tmpres.getLinkType() == LinkType.EXTERNAL){ strtext = "<a class=urLnk href='javascript:"+ navigationAction + "' >";
strtext = strtext + disname + "</a>";

I am using firefox 3.6 due to compatibility with roboform.Firefox keeps crashing and when I click a tab opens in a new window don't want that.

This has been occurring for about 2 weeks.I need a version of firefox compatible with roboform.Very irritating that when I click tabs or links opens in a new window.

Firefox 4.0 up through the latest 10.0 version is compatible with Roboform7 or with the '''RoboForm Lite Standalone Extension'''. 
http://www.roboform.com/platforms/browsers/firefox - scroll down that page a bit
As far as troubleshooting your Firefox crashes, start with this: 
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20crashes#w_get-help-fixing-this-crash
Type '''about:crashes''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. 
# Middle-Click the hyperlinks to bring up each Crash Report page in a new Tab; each page may take a few minutes to load.
# '''Then copy'n'paste the URL of each of those reports into the message box here.'''
# We'll see if we can help you figure out what is causing those crashes to happen.
If you can't open Firefox or keep it open long enough to get the Crash Report ID's, even in the Firefox Safe Mode - see the section entitled - '''''You can't open Firefox because it crashes at startup even in Safe Mode:'''''.

Opening RSS in new window

I'd appreciate some help and assistance re RSS.
I've been working on some web pages and would like to add an
RSS feed to them.
I've decided to use a service called 'feeddigest.com
(www.feedigest.com/). They offer five free feeds and that's more
than enough for me. The display is converted to php which, I
understand, lets the search engine read it.
The code that they supply comes in the following format.
<?php
include ("
http://app.feeddigest.com/digest3/feed-name.html");
?>
So far so good. The code works fantastic, I get a selected
number of headers and small snippets. My problem is that when my
visitor clicks on one of the links they are taken away from my site
and into another, so the questis is: how can I have the link open
in a new window?
The 'target' box goes blank so I can't use target="blank
after it as I would with html.
I've been told that a major part of the problem is that
Feeddigest are actually creating the HTML at their end and sending
it to me in one big block. I've also been given the following code
to try:
<?php
ob_start();
include
("http://app.feeddigest.com/digest3/feed-name.html");
$FeedContents = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
$FeedContents = str_replace('<a href=', "<a
target=_blank href=', $FeedContents);
print $FeedContents;
?>
Which I have to be honest and say means little to me.
Anyway when I try the code I get the following error message:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected '&' in
/web/sites/267/kah22/www.kevinhart.f2s.com/index.php on line 186
Line 186 is: "include
("http://app.feeddigest.com/digest3/RDHGXLAHXG.html");
It's a bit of a detailed question, I know, but any advice or
help would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Kevin Hart

The code is a bit mangled:
<?php
ob_start();
include ("
http://app.feeddigest.com/digest3/feed-name.html");
$FeedContents = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
$FeedContents = str_replace('<a href=', '<a

$FeedContents);
print $FeedContents;
?>

The link open in the same window - Label based menu

Hi All,
I'm using Xcelsius 2008. I add a Selector Component "Selector complonenet > Label based menu". I setup 6 Lable and each one link to a URL. When clicking the label on the generated SWF report, the link opened in a new window.
So i'd like to know if the link can open in the same window (not pop-up a window and open in it)?I tried to setup it in properties, but it seems there is no way to do this.
Could I get your guide how to do that? Thank you so much.

Hello
I would like to know one thing before answring the question how did you link with an url with the label based menu.
Did you used the opendocument syntax or what did you used.
Another method is why donf you use the URL button and map according to your requirement. place the url button on the menu item and change the properties to tranperancy to 0%.
Thanks

How do i make links open in a new tab

Hi There,
Can someone please tell me how to get iWeb to set pages to open on a new tab when links are clicked.
Like when someone is viewing my website, I want the links in that website to open in a new tab within the web-browser when someone clicks on them. I know I can make links open in a New window but how do I make them open in a new tab.
Thanks a bunch
Jason

There is no HTML command to open windows in tabs.
Only these commands are available :
target="_blank"
target="_top"
target="_new"
Opening a new page in a tab is decided by the browser preferences.
In Safari : Preferences > Tabs

Target for a .pdf with the link target _blank does not open in a new window.

I have a simple html document with links to .pdf documents all set to _blank but only one opens in a new window. The others open as _self. Changing the target doesn't seem to make a difference.
Any idea as to why that is happening?

The Template .dwt file is only used locally by DW itself, there's no reason to upload it to the server unless you intend to share it with someone. You have to upload each individual page that the Template updates, every time you update the template and propagate that change across the child pages.
It would probably be better to use a server side include. That way, you could update one file then upload it and all of your pages would automatically carry that update...

It's especially handy if your site gets to the point where you have more than about 20 pages.
