Links to files opens blank page

Hey,
I have links on my iWeb page to zip files on a server. When I click the link, the file begins to download as I want, but in order of the download to happen, a blank page is opened before the download occurs.
Is there a way to trigger the download without having to open a blank page?
Thanks,
Wes

Old Toad, I'm sorry but I can't give out the link since the download links contain resource materials for my book that hasn't been officially released and I can't give out the link to the resource page. However, I have tried to download the files on other test computers and the blank window is opening with safari on each computer. Also at second glance, I noticed that a blank window is opening with Firefox as well, only its getting closed immediately and the download window appears. I didn't notice that at first.
I am wondering if perhaps I have the link set to open a new window in iWeb as Roddy mentioned above. I'll have to check that when I get home. What should I choose for the option in iWeb to open the link so that only the download window appears?
Thanks,
Wes

Presenter htm file opening blank page in browser

I have a number of presentations that have been created with Presenter that are published online and on a DVD. I have just had a user report that on the disc only when they click the link to open the presentation, all that opens is a blank page in the browser. I have tested this on my machine and it works fine. I tested it on a spare laptop and encoutered the same issue. Does anyone have any ideas about why this is happening and how to fix it? Just for futher reference, if you navigate on the DVD (through Windows Explorer) to the same htm file to open the presentation, it works fine. This makes me wonder if it is some odd setting in IE (9)...
Thank you

Safari Opens Blank Pages

Lately Safari has been opening blank pages behind my current page whenever I click links on the current page. The link opens in the current page or new tab, but the full screen blank page is still open. This is driving me crazy. Any thoughts?

I have Glims installed as well. I've been prompted to update it, but have not.
I was suggested to uninstall Glims. Here is the link I was given:

I noticed when I restart Firefox 4, it opens my previous tabs even I set the option "Open a blank page" and it opens blank page when I have "Show my windows and tabs from last time". Please ignore my question if you're already aware of this issue. Thanks.

Missing? : File- New- Blank Page- Page type (CSS)- Layout is empty!!

Hello-
I am just learning Dreamweaver CS3 and I'm wondering if something has gone missing on my installation, or if this is how it's supposed to work...
If I do File -> New -> Blank Page (then choose CSS in the Page Type window pane) ... I then find there are no items in the Layout pane for CSS (whereas, under HTML and some others there are lists of items, though others, such as XML, in the list do have items listed. In all, I think about 1/2 are empty, 1/2 are populated)
I've attached a screen shot to clarify this!
Is CSS supposed to be empty, or has something gone missing? I have the book "Dreamweaver CS3 The Missing Manual" but don't find this referenced.
Thanks for the help!
-Ron

So, if I understand correctly, the CSS "blank pages" will only become populated as I begin to create CSS styles, and it's normal for this to be an empty pane until then?
You are correct, there is nothing inside of that pane and no, nothing will populate that window, even if you do create css styles :-)
When you create a stylesheet, it will be listed in the CSS panel on the right of the working document, it will not go into that CSS pane at all.
Good to see you looking 'under the hood', it means you are willing to learn everything you can about Dreamweaver.

Adobe reader opens file as blank pages

I have tried importing a PDF document reformatted and exported from Open Office from Mac laptop to iPad ios 7 several ways. Sending by email through Apple mail and Yahoo mail as well as file transfer through iTunes. The 149-page document full of text opens as blank on every page in Adobe Reader. Yet when I share the same file from Adobe Reader to Documents app on iPad and open the file there, the text is complete.
The same happens when I email the PDF file from my mac directly from Preview.
How to open this file with all its text visible in Adobe Reader on iPad with ios 7?

The fix: I went into Properties in the Open Office file and saw there was a custom property "ShareDoc" marked as "no." I changed that to "yes" and re saved the file, exported it to .pdf for may and sent it to Adobe reader on my iPad. File opened.

Buttons within Flash won't open links or files in blank windows in IE 7!

I have a bunch of flash files on my website that I use as
menus. Some of these menus have buttons call links and files to be
opened in a blank window but this won't seem to work in Internet
Explorer 7. Are there any fixes to this problem?

this is not a globaly known issue but probably a problem with
the code you are using and/or some
kind of popup blocker installed in your browser or security
setting you have made. If it is a code
issue we would need to see your pasted code at least to take
a stab at it.

Safari Download links not working, opening new page

Hi, I am not to happy with the latest version of Safari, and it has made one problem worse. When I click on a download link, more often than not, instead of getting a file to download, it opens a new page and appears to be loading the file as raw code. I will see in the location bar at the top something like:
download.php or FileName.zip, and it cycles a while until the full file is loaded but does not show anything by a blank page... Before this version I could right click and choose save linked file As and it would usually work, but now that doesn't work.
Anyone else seeing this problem or have a solution?
I have speed downloader but I have it turned off for sites that were problematic, but Safari doesn' seem to use it anyway, because when it works, it opens a Safari download window, not SD
Thanks
Jeff

Quit Safari if it's running. Move the file
Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
in your home folder to the Desktop. Test again. If downloading now works as expected, then that's where the problem lies. Otherwise, it's still somewhere in your Safari settings, but I wouldn't know where. You'd have to ask the "Speed Downloader" developer what to do next.

Pdf opens blank page in safari

PDF opens as a blank page in safari. Can any one help?

Hello S Butler,
Welcome to Discussions!
See if any of this helps you below.
Also did you use the combo up-date for 10.4.5? Because this version
corrects things in Safari that the stand alone does not.
Did you repair premissions before and after the up-date?
Did you turn off your firewall?
Safari: PDFs now open directly in Safari instead of in Preview
When using the latest version of Safari with Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger," PDF links that you click will now open directly in the Safari window for your viewing convenience. Before Tiger, PDFs would open in Preview.
If you still prefer Preview, simply Control-click the PDF link (or right click on a two-button mouse) and choose Download Linked File from the shortcut menu. Once the file is on your desktop, double-click it to open in Preview.
Notes:
In addition to Control-clicking the link and selecting Download Linked File as described above, you also have the choice of using Option-click on the link to shortcut the process even further.
If you do open a PDF in a Safari window, you can Control-click on the PDF itself and choose Open with Preview.
Due to certain server configurations, some PDFs will still download to your desktop instead of opening in a Safari window.
If you use a third-party PDF plug-in for Safari, it will block Safari's built-in PDF support.
Please let us know if anything works for you.

I click on a link, get a new blank page, not the info expected. Use AVG Free Ed, Windows 7 professional.

I click on a link, and get a new blank page, not the info expected. I use AVG Free Edition, Windows 7 Professional. I have tried "open link in new tab" - no joy. Not all links are affected. It is not possible to say when a link is going to fail or work - it seems random.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== It just started to happen about 2 weeks ago

I get the address as it should be as in attachment when I hover over the "FLIXTER" add on the right of screen. When I click it just comes out in a new window but BLANK. Open in IE then shows me the correct view. Puzzling. I have tried disapbling ans enabling java script in my options and sometimes this works then sometimes not??

Imported file creating blank page

I have a file of boilerplate text. My current document imports this (as a referenced file). The boilerplate file concludes with a table and then a single blank line using the Normal paragraph style. It all looks just fine in the boilerplate file.
However, in my document file, there's an extra blank page and I cannot delete. When I try to delete it, I get an error: "Cannot delete pages. They contain imported text that extends outside the page range you are deleting. Convert the text insets to text and try again."
Any suggestions?

I do not have pagination set to "make page count even" and I was importing into a paragraph of style "normal." However, you gave me an idea. I did some experimentation and this seems to fix it:
1. Open the file to be inserted. It should end with an empty paragraph, with font size of 2. Save & close.
2. Delete the inserted file from the chapter or document file.
3. If the extra blank page is still present, delete it.
4. Create a an empty paragraph where the inserted file will go, with font size of 2.
5. Put the cursor on the new empty paragraph and insert the file.
6. Refresh all references.
I know it seems convoluted, but it does appear to be working.
Thanks, Error7103.
