Opining a FILE in a new window

Hello everyone, happy late thanksgiving.
On my site I have a series of iframes containing pictures and or quicktime videos. On my home page http://www.tylerbedgood.com/com/home.html I have it set up to open my files and links to a new blank document instead of inside of my iframe. The problem is to get it this way I have to edit the html inside of word or textedit every time I make a change to my page. Otherwise it will open inside the parent iframe instead of the blank page like I want. Its a big hassle. Iweb 08 offers a workaround with a checkbox added to the LINKS options but not for the FILE links.
Does anyone have any information on this? It would make it a whole lot easier if there was a code out there that i could insert to just make any iframe FILE link open inside of a blank page. The code i used to make it work on my homepage was inserting Target="blank" at the end of the href coding for all the FILE links I have inside that iframe.
Im trying to add 2 new iframes on my site for my photos page. http://www.tylerbedgood.com/com/photos.html (its still in the works so no judging yet) What i dont want to have to do is the same thing i do on my homepage explained above. Any information at all would be amazingly helpful.
I also think this will answer some questions about having files open in blank windows for others that have not already gotten them.
Thanks you all for your time.
Tyler

Why more work? I guess because you have to put it manually to iDisk... Well that's not all that much of more work... It just takes time to copy...
Just be sure to put the movie into the folder where your sites gets published to. Doing so it's easy to find the url of it. yourdomain.com/titleoofthemovie.mov
Put the image in iWeb, select it=>Inspector=>enable as a Hyperlink=>put the url in and check the window
Done.
(I know you find it out... I'm just writing for future visitors...)
the downfall is that it always takes forever for me to copy a video onto my idisk. i have no idea why.
That's just because the .Mac server is pretty slow... Maybe someday Apple is gonna improve the speed of it... Actually they should...
Didn't you published it also before? You did it through iWeb but it's actually taking the same amount of time... At least it should... So it's not, it shouldn't be, a downfall of doing it this way but it would affect all the ways...

How can I put OSX 10.7 on a new Macbook Air. Maverick no longer allows "open file in a new window" and I really miss it. At the Apple Store they told me it can't be added to the new OSX 10.10 so I want to change the OSX on the new Macbook Air and it

I have been using a 2012 Mac pro to do HD video editing. I bought a new portable Macbook Air only to find that Maverick no longer has "open files in a new window" which I use all the time in the very large folders of video clips and royalty-free music. I asked at the Apple Store how I could get this back on the Macbook Air and they said it couldn't be done so I thought I would re-format the HD and install 10.7 on it and was notified by the Macbook Air I can't put 10.7 on that computer. Apple use to give this as an option but now they have gone more to the attitude of "Do it our way or go to ****!" In anger I went out and bought a Dell Laptop and Pinnacle Studio 17 which I have been learning to use. I have been an Apple/Mac user since 1979 and would still rather do my video editing on a Mac. Is there any way that I can force the Macbook Air to let me load in OSX 10.7 where there is still the option to "open files in a new window" or is there a way to add this to Maverick? The experts at the Madison, WI Couldn't give me any help on this.

Choose Preferences from the Finder menu, click on the General tab, and uncheck the box to open folders in a new tab.

Open file in a new window

Hi All,
I am adding a file item to a folder in a content area. The folder is published as a portlet on a page. Now when the user clicks on the file item, I want the file to open in a new window. I know its possible to do it when you add an URL item where there is a option where you can select the item to open in a new window. But in case of a file item, I did not find any way for openiging it in a new window. I would like to know how to open the file in a new window and if there is a workaround for the same.
I am using portal version 30.6.6.5.
Thanks

Here's a solution for Portal 3.0.8 or later that allows you to open a file in a new browser window. It requires that you create a custom item type, and use a procedure to display a link to the file.
1. Create the following procedure. You can create it in any schema, but the schema has to have select privilege on the view 'WWSBR_ALL_ITEMS' in the portal schema. In this example, the portal schema is PORTAL30. If you're running version 3.0.8, you'll also need to apply the patch to bug 1724250.
Create or Replace PROCEDURE OPEN_FILE (p_itemid IN NUMBER) as
fileURL varchar2(1024);
baseURL varchar2(256) := '/pls/portal30/docs/';
begin
select baseURL | | filename into fileURL
from portal30.wwsbr_all_items
where id = p_ItemId;
htp.p ('Open File');
EXCEPTION
when NO_DATA_FOUND then
htp.p('Document not found or access denied');
when others then
htp.p(sqlerrm);
end;
The procedure generates a link to the item filename with a target of "_blank", which opens the file in a new browser window. Replace the baseURL attribute value with the correct Database Access Descriptor (DAD) and Document Access Path ("/docs") for your site.
2. Grant execute on the procedure to the portal public schema. The name of this schema is <portal schema>PUBLIC. So if your portal schema is PORTAL30, grant execute on the procedure to PORTAL30PUBLIC.
3. Create a custom item type, using the base item type of "File". I recommend that you create the type in the Shared Objects content area, so it can be used in other content areas (from the Navigator, go to the Content Areas tab, select Contents for Shared Objects, Custom Types, and Item Types - Create). Edit the new type and go to the Procedures tab.
4. In the Procedure Call Properties, enter:
[list]
[*]Type: PL/SQL
[*]Procedure Call: <your procedure schema>.OPEN_FILE
[*]Link Text: Open File (it doesn't matter what you put here - it only displays if "Display Procedure Results With Item" is unchecked.)
[*]Check "Display Procedure Results With Item"
[list]
5. Under "Pass Attributes as Parameters", enter:
[list]
[*]Attribute: Item Id
[*]Pass As: p_itemid
[list]
(Notice how you can pass most of an item's attributes to a procedure. You can take advantage of this feature to write procedures that give you precise control over the rendering of your items).
6. In the properties for the content areas in which the new type is to be used, go to the Items tab. Specify that you want the new type to be visible. You may want to hide the base File item type, so users won't be confused by two different item types for files.
7. Edit the folder style for the content area. Go to Folder Layout. Edit the region properties for each region in which you will be using the new item type. For each region, replace "Display Name or Image" with "Display Name". "Display Name or Image" will render the Display Name as a link to your file that opens the file in the same browser window. "Display Name" simply renders the display name as text, with no link.
8. Now you can create items of the new item type. Each item's Display Name will appear next to a link that says "Open File". Clicking the link will cause the file to open in a new browser window.
Hope you find this useful.
Regards,
Jerry

Open file in a new window thru custom global link

Hi All,
I have created a custom global link. I want to open a PDF file (present at OA_HTML) from that link.
So, I created a function for that link having below properties:
Web HTML : file_name.pdf
Type: SSWA plsql function that opens a new window (Kiosk Mode)
File is opening successfully but in the same window. I want to open that file in a new window.
Please suggest some solution for this.

I have created a blank page and write logic to download file in that.
Later, on click on global link, navigated the same to that blank page. So, open save dialog is coming on click of custom global link.

Would like to move iPod touch files to my new Windows 8 computer -- but can not see hidden files

Would like to move iPod touch files to my new Windows 8 computer -- read on how to do this, but this involves being able to see the hidden fiels -- but can not see hidden files...any suggestions. Would like to transfer these files from iPod Touch to new laptop without software -- is that possible -- if not can anyone recommend a good free software to use?

There is no way to do so without software. I recently had a similiar task and was suggested to use iExplorer. It worked like a charm.
Refer to this page for iExplorer
Here is the page I was helped with on this task for reference: Export Songs
Hope this helps!

Hyperlink to open a file in a new window

I have been trying to format the hyperlink to a file so it opens on a new window. iWeb allows us to check the box 'open in new window' only for links to external pages; when we insert a link to a file, I realize the app uploads the file to the website, but I could not find a way to have it open in a new window. Is there a way we can get to and format the hyperlink reference?

1. Create the link that connects to the file (pdf or whatever) on a separate page of your site on iWeb.
2. Publish your site, then go on the internet to the page that has this link. Keep this page open on your Safari or some web browser you use.
3. Go back to your iWeb and create another link on a different page (home page, for example) of your site, and connect this link to the URL of the open page in step 2 with "Link to: An External Page" option. Click to choose "Open link in new window" on the Inspector panel. Name this link that has something to do with the file of interest in step 1.
4. On your iWeb, go the page created in step 1 and make sure "include page in navigation menu" is not selected or checked in the Inspector panel so that web visitor will not get to this page directly.
5. Publish your site. Now go to your site on the web to the page in step 3. Click on the link and it will open a new page with the link that has the file attached. Visitor can now open the file in that new window.
• It seems complicated, but you'll get it.
• You may need to refresh the pages on Safari to make it work if you have left Safari on throughout your work.
• For this method, you have to dedicate a page to carry the link that connects to the file.
Example: I create a page that has list of links to the files for viewing. These files are weekly reports. Each file is named by its date such "March 4, 2011" "March 11, 2011" etc.. This page will be hidden from visitors at first when they visit my site. Then I create on my home page a link called "Weekly Reports" that open to "External Page" via the option I have in Inspector. Even though it says "External Page" I use the URL of the hidden page containing all the actual files. On this "hidden" page, I also has a link called "Weekly Report" but this link is connected directly to this page. I do this only because I want the "hidden" page to look like my home page in terms of displayed links.

Simply put, I do not like like the new color coding "dots" and I do not like having to press the Command key before double clicking to open files in a new window. How hard would have been to include the old version of these two features?

Kate always open files in a new window after kde upgrade

kate always open files in a new window, instead of the existing window as a new document after kde upgrade to 3.5. someone else have the same experience and have a solution for that ?
cheers,

The problem is solved!
Apparently the Content Disposition: Attachment in the BLOB Download Format Mask does the trick.
For some reason I have to logout and login again in the application to see the change.
I tried changing the Content Disposition to Inline and then back to Attachment, and the file keeps opening in the same window unless I start a new session.
Is there any explanation why it is working that way?
Thanks!

Download a file without opening new window

Hi everybody,
I need to save a file to local PC into a certain predefined file in such a way that user does not get any pop-ups or new windows - i.e. 'in background'.
I have tried 'FileDownload' - this get file content displayed in new window and if saved is to be allowed - a save pop-up is displayed.
If I try attach_file_to_response of cl_wd_runtime_services - it also gives a pop-up.
Does anybody know a way to download a file to local PC in such a way that the content of the file is not displayed in the new pop-up window and save dialog does not appear?
Thank you for your help.
Helen

Hi Olena,
You will not be able to download a file in the background due to the browser security defaults. All browsers always prompt the users to accept files otherwise viruses and trojans would be able to be installed on your pc without you accepting them.
I know it is possible to write via SAPGui without a prompt but not from a browser.
Sorry.

Display PDF files in a NEW window

hi there
i offer PDF files to download on most of my webpages. example: http://www.khanomTOPproperty.com/khanomTOPproperty.com/northofkhanom.html
i would like them to load in the browser first (not automatically download), but in a NEW WINDOW, and then give the visitor the option to download it (which is the easy part of it).
even if i don't focus on opening in a new window (which is what i have now online, to make it available at last) the problem is that not all browsers display the file. some download it immediately. it took me quite a while to find out how different browsers handle it, and since it is very different i made a "browser ABC" help page on my site, explaining the different behaviors of browsers (http://www.khanomTOPproperty.com/khanomTOPproperty.com/browser_help.html). safari is great as usual and displays the file, so one can downoad it then (or not), but google chrome (and others) immediately download them without displaying them. by the way, i did NOT zip the files.
so, how to make it sure that the files are displayed (not directly downloaded) in every browser, and, as mentioned above, i would love to have it in a NEW WINDOW( or tab, but better window), to make it easy to go back to the previous page without having to reload.
and yes, i too think ISSUU is great in terms of display, i tried it but immediately forgot it when i found out that the visitor has to log in first (actually become a member of ISSUU) before being able to download - and i don't want to force my visitors to such things - the same way i will never have any advertisement on any of my pages - i don't want to make visitors angry...
thanks again, i know - lots of questions, but the result of a few weeks iWeb work, and i did not find the answers in the forum yet.

hi wyodor
oh wow, you answer almost faster than i can ask - that's what i call turbo.
sounds very simple, and i tried it. the problem is that it is not so easy to make this link. i tried to find one of the several PDF files i have to make a test, but even this was not so easy. in cPanel i have a window which pops up when i open the file manager. it gives the option to access through
a) home directory
b) web root (public_html/www)
c) public FTP root (public-ftp)
d) document root for:
(and then the domain names)
which one is the right one to enter if i want to go to my PDF files? yes, OK, not an iWeb question, but maybe you can...
anyway. i managed somehow to get to the PDF files. to my surprise i have seen that each file is there not only one time, but twice (the second time with a "_1"PDF. any idea what happened there? i only need one, do i?
OK. so i found one, localized it but still can not get the link for it. the only link i find (in the browser address bar) is the FOLDER where the PDF files are located. i don't think this will do it, as i guess i have to specify the file exactly, otherwise how can iWeb know which file i want?
how can i get a link to this file?
additional question: whenever i update my website, will this path be remembered? i guess so.
practically this means i will (should i be successfull and be able to create a link to these files) have to upload the PDF files BEFORE i can create the link in iWeb, Yes?
you see, i am really a professional (...) - if i would i would probably switch to the other side and help greenhorns like me in the forum.
by the way - are aou working for apple or is this just some sort of hobby?
thanks again and warm regards
george

Need help opening a file in a new window

I'm creating an interactive PDF in InDesign CS5.5.
This PDF contains buttons I've made that link to other, separate, PDF files using the open file method.
This is all working fine - trouble is, when I click the button to open the second PDF file, the first PDF automatically closes.
Is there any way to make the second PDF open in a new window, keeping the first PDF open?
This is something that every user must be able to do, so using preference --> Open cross-doc links in same window will not work.
Is there a JavaScript code to use?
Your help would be much appreciated!

You can set up a link to behave as you want, ignoring whatever the user preference is set to, but I don't know if you can configure such a link in InDesign.
In Acrobat, you can edit the link action (assuming it's a "Go to a page view / Go to a page in another document" type) and select "New Window" in the "Open in" drop down:

How to open a file in a new window

I need to create a link to a file and have that file open in a new window. I do NOT want to have to create a page for each of about 600 files! And yes, it has to live on MobileMe and be created in iWeb, so save the comments about using other tools and/or hosting services.
I can create the link just fine but the bloody thing opens in the same window. I thought I used to be able to do that in iWeb 1 but that's moot now.

It depends on where you put the file on your iDisk. For some reason I can't use the Documents folder on the iDisk However the Pictures folder works and you would use this link:
http://homepage.mac.com/yourMMe_account_name/.Pictures/filename. (Note the period before Pictures)
The code for the snippet is:
<script type="text/javascript">
function open_win()
window.open("http://homepage.mac.com/YOURMME_ACCOUNT/.Pictures/FILENAME","blank","toolbar=no, location=yes, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no, copyhistory=yes, width=580, height=500") }</script>
<form><input type="button" value="Click to Play" onclick="open_win()"> </form>
Click on the Demo Page link above to see the example at the bottom of the page.

Open a pdf file in a new window

How do you have a pdf file open up in a new window in
DW8?

If you are coding a page with a HTML Transitional doctype,
you can link to
the PDF file, and assign a target="_blank" option to the
link. If you are
coding a page with an XHTML doctype, then you would need to
do this
differently if you want the page to validate.
