Open hyperlinks in new window/tab/pop-up ?

Now that my hyperlinks are working again....
I have a section with "directions" to lots of locations, each location has a google map link and a link to a pdf , when the user clicks on a link for a PDF or google map etc, it comes up fine but when you hit the "back" button to return to the site you have to go back in the front door again and nav back to where you were.  How do I setup these links to open in a new browser window or a pop-up so the user doesn't lose their place on the site?  This is a actionscript 2 / flash9 project.
Thanks
Joel

I guess I forgot to mention the these links are HTML <a href = > tags in dynamic text boxes. I'm not using the getURL function. That said, I tried it in the tag and it seems to work fine. Did the trick.
Thanks

  • Open Hyperlink in New Window

    I have created an interactive pdf in Indesign.  It contains hyperlinks to destinations in a second pdf file.  I would like the hyperlinks to open the second pdf file in a new window.  Is there a way to do this either in Indesign or Adobe Professional?
    I see that it is possible in Acrobat if the docements were just to files but I am using them on a web server.
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi George -
    Thanks for your reply.  I would be happy if it would open in either a new browser window or a new Acrobat/Reader window.  The first file is a large file and the links are to a suppporting much smaller file.  I would like the first file to stay open so that it doesn't have to keep reloading and so that the user doesn't have to use the "back" button.  (My guess is that that the user is going to close the window after clicking the link, expecting that it would open in a new window,  and get very frustrated reopening the first file)
    What type of links have you set up, exactly (web link, open file, go to page in another PDF, etc.)?
    I created the links while the file was still in InDesign - they are hyperlinks to a URL -  and the URL  is a destination in another pdf file.
    The final product - both documents - will be posted on a web server.
    Before posting the files to the web I was successful in setting up the links to open in a new window (go to a destination in another file).  But once placed on the server this no longer works.
    Thank you again,
    Denise

  • Open commandLink in new window/tab

    I have an ADF app with a link to an Apex reports site. The af:commandLink calls a procedure which does some internal validation (calls a pl/sql package to get an Apex login token) then redirects the browser to the Apex site. I'd like to get that Apex site to come up in a new tab in the browser (or new browser window) but there's no target property on the commandLink or in the redirect procedure I'm using (ExternalContext.redirect()).
    Any suggestions on how to get that redirect to come up in a new window/tab?
    edit: using 11.1.1.4
    Edited by: steve_mj on Feb 2, 2012 6:39 AM

    Try this technique in a managed bean method that is invoked by your <af:commandLink>:
    // Invoke your PL/SQL procedure
    // Open the APEX site in a separate browser window
    String apexUrl = ...;
    ExtendedRenderKitService erks = Service.getRenderKitService(ctx, ExtendedRenderKitService.class);  
    String script = "window.open('" + apexUrl + "', '', 'location=0, status=0, resizable=1, scrollbars=0');";
    erks.addScript(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(), script);Dimitar

  • Open link in new window/tab

    Hello, is there anyone that can tell me how you can make a link to a webpage outside your wiki that opens in a new window or tab, so that the wiki stays open.
    thanks in advance...

    I am having the opposite issue. I am wanting all internal and external links to open within the same tab and window. It seems by default that all links that we add are opening externally.

  • Suddenly today I cannot open message in new window, tabs ONLY

    I normally open email in separate window with double click. Today it will not open. Context menu item "Open message in New Window" also does nothing. Only way I can get message open is Context menu item "Open message in New Tab." Version 24.6.0 Windows 7(64 bit).

    set Thunderbird to use tabs,,,, then change it back to a windows. I have seen occasions when the setting to user interface shows does not reflect the true state of affairs. Like it need to be reset to get the message.
    Your could try restarting from the help menu with addons disabled. See if it is one of them causing issues. (quite possible)

  • List - Navigation Outline - how to open link in new window/tab?

    I have created Navigation Outline but would like to open links in the new window or tab.
    We are using single sign-on within our intranet therefore the links looks like that: f?p=105:1:&SESSION..
    Does anybody have any ideas how to open new window, I have tried this: target="_blank" but it doesn't work.
    Thanks in advance.
    Robert

    Where exactly are you building this link to open a new window? Are you builidng it inside the query? a column link? I'm just curious; as it would make a slight difference in syntax, or where to escape, or whether or not you need to escape or not. But anyways, you could look into the javascript:popupURL syntax.
    So if you were building a link inside a query, the syntax would look similar to:
    '<a href = "javascript:popupURL(''f?p=&flow_id.:101:&session.::&debug.::&P101_ITEM:&P99_MATCH_ITEM.'')">Link</a>'
    Those are two single quotes that start and end the ....f?p-url-part....I.e., escaped.
    But thats just an example. Hope that helps.

  • Is there a way I can click on a link designed to open in a new window/tab and have it replace the current tab instead?

    For example, if I go to [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20435580 an abstract on PubMed] and click on either of the full text icons, Firefox will open a new tab. I want the full text to replace the tab with the abstract, instead.
    The best thing I can figure out now is to Ctrl-click the icons so they open in the background, then use Ctrl+W to close the current window.

    Hi,
    In your Firefox -> Preferences/Options -> Tabs, you can select the check box "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately". You would still need to go back and close the original tab, but this would help you with part of the issue.
    Thanks,

  • When I click a link on most pages, it opens in a new window/tab with just *go to a website* in the address bar.

    This happens from links in my email and links from websites. Is there a setting somewhere that I botched that hides web addresses from me?
    It however, doesn't happen every time I click a link.. strangeness.
    FF 9.0.1
    Windows 7 x64

    For the list of teachers there are email addresses in the right hand column, did you click on an email address?
    If you did that could explain the multiple tabs being opened. What may have happened is you have the mailto protocol set to open Firefox which results in 100s of tabs opening when you click on an email address. For details on fixing that see [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]], in particular the section on "Change the action for a content type". My guess is you will find mailto is set to "Use Firefox".

  • IWeb - cant adjust hyperlinks to open page in new window

    Anyone know of a work around to this obvious shortcoming? ...other then hacking the html code? the website is: www.apexjiujitsu.com
    My Links page is the one that I'd like to set parent=_ or whatever the value is for new window instead of same window

    Hi all.
    New to iWeb as well and am enjoying creating my website.
    Having played with HTML in the past and dreamweaver for creating pages, remembered there is a way to do this in a non-iweb way.
    The extra code that needs to be added at the end of your link is:
    target="_blank"
    Now how to get that in your iWeb page.
    What I did (worked for me each time) - copy the page you want to edit from your iDisk in the Finder window to a folder on your mac. Make sure to make a copy of this file in case you want to go back to the original.
    - Next open the page in Netscape (using ver 7.2). Pics did not show as I did not copy those.
    - In Netscape click File, Open File. Just navigate to your page location and click Open.
    One really neat feature I like about Netscape is that it comes with a built in web page editing tool.
    - Click File, Edit Page. Editing window appears.
    - Find the link you want to change and double-click it. It may try to open the link in new window, if it doesn't, don't worry about it. Or give you an error - close the error window.
    - Go back to the editing window and double-click on the link again. You should see a drop-down menu appear.
    - Click Advanced edit. There are two columns here - Attribute and Value.
    Attribute is what you want - ie open in a new window (target) and the Value is what happens next ie. opens the link in a new window.
    - Click on the Attribute drop-down at the bottom and choose "target".
    - Click on the Value drop-down and choose "_blank" (usually defaults to this).
    - Click OK and then OK again.
    Close the file and make sure to save.
    All I did then was copy the edited page to the iDisk folder wence it came from and overwrote the original (did you save a copy of the original in a safe location?).
    Opened the page in Safari or any other browser and voila' - link now opens in a new window/tab.
    Sorry for the long winded reply explanation. Wanted to be sure I didn't miss anything. ***Just be sure to save a copy of the original page your working on in a safe place in case you need to revert to the original.***
    Hope this helps.
    ps. Agree, adding an option to open links in new window should be put into the enhancements to come for iWeb.

  • I keep getting an error window about java since I updated to firefox 8, my tabs will flash, tabs will close and open in a new window, everything stops working, firefox is non responsive, please help

    Since I upgraded to firefox 8, I get this error window that pops up says something about java. My tabs flicker or flash, the tabs will close and open in a new window then everything stops. Then firefox does not respond. When I get this error message, I have to close all tabs wait a few seconds then open it back up it will work for a little while and then do the same thing. I have disabled plug-ins that I do not use, I have cleared my cache and cookies, I am not happy at all with this new version. I waited a while before updating. The first time I was going to update, firefox would not let me keep my anti-virus plug-in. PLEASE HELP

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Hyperlink on a trigger won't open in a new window

    I have set up a roll over trigger that reveals a target and it works great. The only issue is that the hyperlink I have assigned to the trigger will only work if I uncheck the "open in a new window or tab" box. If I check that box, nothing happens when I click the trigger, yet it's original function of revealing the target still works.

    here is one picture of the composition settings, I also took 6 other photos with a trigger/target/textbox/picture broken apart so you could see the layers, I've included all in this dropbox link:
