Open URL Link in new browser window

Can someone please help me? I've tried to use code as if I were using Dreamweaver without any luck(i.e. blank target).
Is there a way to make the url in the PDF open a new browser windows once clicked? Hopefully this is an easy fix! Thanks in advance!

Jono, if you are still out there. I am also having trouble with this function. The button works just fine, but it does not open another browser window. I am trying to keep my pdf open, and send them to a url. That way they can come back to the form. Like you would with the target="_blank" function in javascript.
What am i doing wrong? I have tried opening the script editor, but I am not sure what to do there. So I put the same as you did on your form, no effect. I put target="_blank" and set it to javascript on just about every option. I have tried to go into the code on the xml source tab, no luck anywhere. I have tried to just use a text field, no luck.
Seems like everything I have tried has no effect.
Hopefully you can tell me it is something simple...
Thanks in advance.

Open PDF link in new browser window?

I'm viewing a newly created PDF in a browser.
When clicking an internal link, the linked PDF loads into the same window
I need it to launch in a new browser window.
I have set the link to "launch new window" in Word where this file originated.
I have also opened and resaved it in Acrobat 10 with preference "Open cross-document links in same window" deselected.
Neither of these setting have change the behavior though all documentation I read seems to suggest they should.
What am I missing here??
-Blake

That preference setting does not apply to web links and do not refer to a browser window, but an Acrobat window.
There is a JavaScript method that might work. Try setting the link action to something like the following script:
app.launchURL("http://www.example.com/", true);
This was taken from the example here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.150.html
The problem is if a user has Reader 10 and protected mode is enabled (as it is by default), it doesn't work and opens the link in the same browser window.

Open links in new browser window

We are using Oracle WCI 10.3/Collaboration 10.3 and have a Community Links Portlet (collab portlet) setup. The links open up in the same browser window and to get back to the portal, the user has to hit the back button on the browser. So,
1) Is there a portal/collaboration configuration that enables links to open up in a new browser window?
2) Is there a way to hide the address bar when the link opens up in a new window? (the reason for this question is, we may have a link to some applications where we don't want the user going in directly. So, by hiding the address bar, they can't copy the URL and access directly without going in through the portal).
If there is any better way to do question 2 above, would appreciate the feedback.
Thanks.

I was able to figure this out:
1) In the My Account section, under display preferences, there is an option to "open documents in same window" or "new window". By changing this, links in the Community Links portlet open up in a new browser window.
2) With a simple javascript example that I found on the internet, I was able to customize the popup browser window with no address bar or menu buttons.

Opening a URL in a new browser window

Hello Experts,
I am trying to open a dynamic url in a new browser window from a Portal application (travel and expenses). Basically, when a user clicks on the submit button, Badi IF_EX_TRIP_WEB_CHECK~USER_CHECK_CHANGES is called. In the BaDI, we have added code to concatenate a parameter to a url and then open a new browser window with that url. This works perfectly in r/3 using a tcode (pr_web_1200) but when I use the portal application under ESS, the window does not open and no error message is issued. We are using METHOD cl_gui_html_viewer->detach_url_in_browser. Any idea why this is not working through ESS in Portal? Is there some other method that we need to use? Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Sal

Re: Open Portal Transaction iView in new window *without* Browser window
for iView (page) you probably set the property 'Launch in New Window' to value Display in Separate Window. To tune up the other otions you have the possibility to set the property Window Features, value should contain toolbar=no. These features will be used when Javascript opens up your window - you can apply any option coomonly documented. IMHO for your demands the best option is fullscreen=yes,toolbar=no - you get really the maximum possible size.

Open URL in a new browser from a JSF backing bean

I want to use commandButton action in jsf to launch a new browser instead of using commandLink.
How do you launch url in a new browser window by firing up a method in backing bean?
So far I am able to launch a URL within the same browser window. Here is my code:
In jsp file:
<h:commandButton rendered="#{openDataList.valueModifiable}" value="link" action="#{openDataList.link}" />
In backing bean:
public void link()
     try{
     FacesContext faces = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
     faces.responseComplete();
     ExternalContext context = faces.getExternalContext();
     context.redirect("http://www....");      }
     catch(java.io.IOException e)
...

with a commandButton i dont belive you can
well there are ways you can use javascript window.open
or you can use a commanLink ans set the target
but from my understanding there is no way to open a new browser from the backing beans ( this is because this is a client function and your backing beans are on the sever )

Opening a servlet in new browser window

Does anyone know how you can make a servlet open in a a new browser window when clicking a link for that servlet.
cheers

Hi..
do
window.open("http://localhost:8080//yourservlet-path//servlet-name");
you can also set window properties, they are passed as parameters to window.open
see syntax of window.open. but this thing will open your servlet in a new window with default properties.

IWeb link opening in a external (new) browser window.

Dear members:
After making several unsuccessful attempts to find this information I decided to post a questions here to see if anyone has the answer.
I have created two web site with several web pages in iWeb but haven't been able to add links to a page that open not in that same page but to open in an extra (external) browser window. Is there a way to make a link open in a different browser window than the one that has the page with the link ?
Another question I have refers to iWeb's display of some images. For my web sites I chose one of the templates offered with the program. In one of the pages there are small portions of text followed by a square image next to it. Some of the images in iWeb work as placeholders that are replaced by the final images once they are dragged and dropped over them. However, this small images following the text don't behave like that. They simply aren't replaced. I tried to "overlay" the final images over the template ones thinking that once the site was published they would be replaced. Actually, after posting the web site I noticed that when the pages load the template images show up first and them the ones I placed over them beginning to cover them.
Why is this happening and how can I solve this problem ?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Joseph Chamberlain

Dear varkgirl:
Thank you very much for your help and valuable suggestion.
I've tried your suggestion but ran into some problems. The links I am trying to open in another window are actually PDF files that the viewer can download from my website.
Since I was having problems I decided to try something else. After publishing the website to my desktop I then opened the pages where the links are in Dreamweaver. The layout view is great and displayed the image just the way it appears on the browser's window. I first selected the "link button" to the file and then in the inspector windows (bottom of the page) I chose under target the "_blank" option. This tells the software that the linked page or file is to be opened in a new blank browser window. I then saved the page (re-saved it over the existing file) to incorporate the changes. After this I proceeded to navigate through the website and everything works great.
Thank you for your help and suggestions. I just thought I would post this here in case it may be of help to you as well as others.
Best regards,
Joseph Chamberlain

Discoverer Viewer Open Link in New Browser Window

We have created cubes with links to details (using Manage Links).
When selecting the link from Discoverer Plus OLAP, a new browser window opens.
When selecting the link from Discoverer Viewer, it opens within the same browser window.
How can we force Discoverer Viewer to open a link in a new browser window?
We tried adding the TARGET="_blank" to the link but that only gets added to the last parameter (or passed as a parameter).
Unlike Discoverer Plus parameter, there is no _popup option.

This article by Ted Padova will give you the JavaScript code that will accomplish this: http://acrobatusers.com/blogs/tedpadova/opening-pdfs-new-browser-windows

Opening driving directions in new browser window

I have installed the Web Assist Google Pro Maps extension and
would like for the div containing the driving directions results:

However, when I open the tag inspector, it says "locked

Open view in a new browser window

Hi all,
I want to open a view in a new browser window.
I try this two code:
1)IWDWindow window=
wdControllerAPI.getComponent().getWindowManager().createExternalWindow(
          "http://www.google.it","google",false);
but in this case i can only open an url...
2)IWDWindowInfo windowInfo = wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("ExternalWindow");
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createWindow(windowInfo,true);
but in this case it open an internal windows, not an external new browser windows...
What can i do?
Thanks!

Hello Andrea,
you should call not "http://www.google.it" but result of something like this:
     public static String resolveURL(String dcName, String applicationName) throws EntryNotFoundException, WDURLException
          IWDDeployableObject deployableObject = WDDeployableObject.getDeployableObject(dcName);
          if(null!=deployableObject && WDDeployableObjectState.STARTED.equals(deployableObject.getState()))
               boolean found = false;
               int i = 0;
               WDDeployableObjectPart[] parts = deployableObject.getParts(WDDeployableObjectPartType.APPLICATION);
               if(parts!=null)
                    for(;i<parts.length;i++)
                         if( applicationName.equals(parts<i>.getShortName()))
                              found = true;
                              break;
               if(found)
                    return WDURLGenerator.getApplicationURL(parts<i>, null);
               else
                    throw new EntryNotFoundException( "Application '" + applicationName + "' not found" );
          } else {
               throw new EntryNotFoundException( "Application '" + applicationName + "' not found in '" + dcName + "'" );

Opening a link in new browser- JEditorPane

Hello all,
I am facing a small problem.
I am loading an html file from local system in an JEditorPane. Now that html is having some links.
Is there any way out by which that link when clicked is open into browser.
Any idea is welcome.
Smiles,

Add HyperlinkListener to your editor pane. Add the following method in your class:
public void hyperlinkUpdate(HyperlinkEvent event) {
   if (event.getEventType() == HyperlinkEvent.EventType.ENTERED) {
        pane.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));
   if (event.getEventType() == HyperlinkEvent.EventType.EXITED) {
      pane.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
if (event.getEventType() == HyperlinkEvent.EventType.ACTIVATED) {
      try {
         pane.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
         // editor.setPage(event.getURL());
         //Either set the page as the new page
         // or open a new browser window to display the link using
         // applet's showDocument method
         //applet.showDocument(event.getURL(),"_blank");
      } catch (Exception newPageExc) {}
      finally {
      pane.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
}

Opening remote page in new browser window

Hi there,
my applet used the browser window as its frame, that means there is nothing else but the applet. I need to call a page from the same server as the applet resides, but to display the page in a new browser window. The following code could do the job, but caused the browser to block the popup.
applet.getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL
                        ("http://mydomain/mypage.jsp"),"_blank");I'm wondering whether I could access a servlet from my applet and let the servlet accomplish this and how to.
It would be also of interest whether it is possible to do the same with a page from a remote server and triggering the client to display the page in a new window.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Open calling form in new browser window

HI,
I am using forms 9i. From menu item, i am calling a form using call_form, the called form is opening in same window, my requirement is the called forms want to open in new browser window. I am using mdi window.
Any idea ?
Regards
Ramesh babu

If you look in your browser address field, you will see your current forms has a (probably very) long url, one section of which is the form name. Now, you can use this as the URL argument in a WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT() call. However:
(1) if your URL doesn't include the userid, etc. (very likely in a production situation) you will have to log in again.
(2) as (1) might lead to suspect, you are in a new database session.
Why do you want to do this?
Cheers, APC
