Open a document in a new tab or browser window Sharepoint 2013

Customer requirement states that a doc must be opened in the browser, but requires that it open in a new window or tab. I know that this is bad practice, but customer is the customer. Please provide the best course of action. 95% of docs
will be PDFs and can not use client application as the means of opening. Appreciate your help and easiest, simplest solution.

Creating URLs that open a new tab or browser window?

Hello out there...
I am creating some podcasts via Garage Band and iWeb for my grade 9 class. I have embedded some URLs in the podcast however when one 'clicks' the links the iWeb page is closed and the user is taken to the new page.
I would like the iWeb page with the podcast to remain open and a new page or tab open up to display the link.
Is it possible to do this?
Thanks,
B!

Problem with displaying Adobe Document in a New Tab.

When an internet page opens a PDF in a new tab - only a very portion of the document and related scroll bars are displayed. When the document is set to full screen it still only displays within thie small area. As you look at this image - you can see how it's cut off.

Yes, this has only been observed on Internet Explorer. If I were experiencing this problem I would try to repair IE: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318378

Hi,
You can try using "goLiink" and then use the property targetFrame set to "_blank"; below are some for ur references:
targetFrame
_blank: The link opens the document in a new window.
_parent: The link opens the document in the window of the parent. For example, if the link appeared in a dialog window, the resulting page would render in the parent window.
_self: The link opens the document in the same page or region.
_top: The link opens the document in a full window, replacing the entire page.
Thanks,

Firefox upon opening an image in a new tab, centers the image from top and bottom and surrounds the image with a grey frame. Just started having the problem today, searched Google to no avail.

Firefox upon opening an image in a new tab, centers the image from top and bottom and surrounds the image with a grey frame. Just started having the problem today, searched Google to no avail.

Oh wow, looks like a new feature.
The "page" links in a stylesheet with the address "resource://gre/res/TopLevelImageDocument.css". If you remove that reference, then the image displays in the old style.
'''''Edit: Please skip the rest of this post and check out the next one.'''''
There might be a more elegant solution than that, but you could use a bookmarklet to strip out that link when you want to view the page in its old style. A bookmarklet is a snippet of JavaScript you save on the Bookmarks toolbar for quick access.
First, copy the following code to the clipboard (it's all one long line):
<br>javascript:var ssheet=document.querySelector('link[href="resource://gre/res/TopLevelImageDocument.css"]'); if(ssheet)ssheet.parentNode.removeChild(ssheet); void 0;
Next, if you are not displaying the Bookmarks Toolbar, use View > Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbar to display it. (If you aren't using the classic Menu bar, press Alt+v to call up the old View menu. Right-clicking the gray area just below the page address also allows you to display the Bookmarks Toolbar.)
Right-click on the Bookmarks Toolbar (or Mac equivalent of right-click!) and choose New Bookmark.
Paste the code into the Location box (the second box).
Then type a useful name in the Name box (e.g., Oldstyle Picture) and click Add.
Now, when you want to tweak the image display, click the button to run the script.
Manual clicking is a hassle, so it might make sense to look into other solutions. (Greasemonkey didn't seem to work; I think it might not run on .jpg files.)

When I open a website in a new tab (like a forum) it will start on the last page and at the bottom. So I have to scroll up. Is there a setting for this?

I open my favorite forums website. When I open a thread in a new tab the window starts at the bottom. I have to scroll up to see the top of the thread.

Does it do it if you run Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]? If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

We are building ADF custom applications and want to integrate them with EBS R12 (12.1.3) through Responsibilities and Menus.

Opening a webpage in a new TAB in OBIEE 11G

I am working on Action Links in OBIEE11g where I am supposed to open a webpage in a new TAB from a report using Action Links. I am able to open the link in a new window but not in new tab. Is there any solution for this? Any help would really be appreciated!

CSS will not help you at all (style sheet can make your link nice and colorful, but will not any impact on what the link does).
JS is the same, it will not help you because tab/windows is subject to the user settings (JS works into the webpage, but has no control, luckily for all of us, on the browser itself).
Srini VEERAVALLI gave you the answer, the same (just different place) is valid for FF or Chrome.

Open a document in a new window

How can I open a document in a new window? I need to have 2 open windows, with the same document. In MS Office, its "open in a new window". Thanks!

Feature unavailable "inthebox"
This is why I wrote a script available on my idisk:
It is a good script, Yvan, for what it does. However, even with that script it is a long way to the full MS Word functionality. In MS Word, you can change the content in any of the open windows, and the modifications are instantly visible everywhere.
If you have a 20 page document, you can change the first page in one window, the last page in a second window and page 13 in a third window. If you change a style, the consequence of the style change is instantly visible in all three windows, so you can tell straight away if it works everywhere.
With your script, one gets just a read-only copy of the first document, as far as I can tell.
I persist: the full "New Window" function of MS Word is not available in Pages, not even with your otherwise good script.

When I click a link, it changes to the new page instead of opening the link in a new tab.

I've gone to the options section several times and the right settings are in place but it still doesn't open in a new tab. I've never had this problem before. Should I change back to 3.6 or 4 beta? This problem occurs on the newest update. I believe it's 4.0.1 or something like that...I just loaded it yesterday. How can I fix this? Thank you.

It's normal for links to open in the same tab as you browse if you left-click. You can Ctrl+click or middle click to open a link in a new tab. Are either of those broken?
Some sites let you use a regular left click to open a link in a new tab (example: Google search settings), and some add-ons may change link behavior. Can you check whether one of your add-ons has been disabled?
Tools > Add-ons > Extensions
Also, if you use the Ask toolbar, try disabling it and see whether that makes any difference.

How to Open External Links in a New Tab

I want links in web pages to open in the current tab so I have browser.link.open_newwindow=1. But how do I make links from extenal applications open in a new tab?

Try setting the following to 3, not really sure if preference was actually removed or just won't accept 2, the intent was that the two variables be the same (I think)
browser.link.open_external -- Where to open links sent to the browser from an external application
* 2 (default in SeaMonkey): Opens external links in a new window
* 3 (default in Firefox): Opens external links in a new tab in the most recent window
* 1 (or anything else): Opens external links in current window
Note: In Firefox 2 and above, via “Tools → Options → Tabs → New pages should be opened in:” (same as browser.link. open_newwindow)
Pref removed from Firefox 3.5

Unnecessary alert when opening a link in a new tab

Sometimes when I open a link in a new tab firefox opens it properly but alerts me with "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (bar) isn't associated with any program."

Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
* [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Template:clearCookiesCache Clear Cookies & Cache]
* [[How to clear the cache#w_clear-the-cache|Clear the Network Cache]]
* Make sure that you are using the '''"Remember History"''' setting as described in this article -> [[Options window - Privacy panel]]
-> Start Firefox in -> [[Safe Mode]] to check if your add-ons/extensions are causing the problems.
* Also see this article -> [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
Check and tell if its working.

How do I make middle click open a link in a new tab?

Previously, when I clicked a link using the wheel click on my mouse, it opened the link in a new tab. I recently updated firefox, and now if I middle click (wheel click) on a link in Firefox, nothing happens. I just want this feature back. I tried looking in my mouse settings but could not find a relevant setting there. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I should add: I have also lost the ability to middle click on a tab to close it.
