Override links that open in a new window?

Hello,
Does anyone know if there's a key combination or something like that to override hyperlinks that open in new windows? Most of the time I like to open those links in the same window. Instead I have to make do with opening them in new tabs.

In case anyone's interested, I've discovered that the method of dragging a link to the address box (or the current tab if it's visible) is a good way to avoid a new window being opened.

When clicking on links that open in a new window, the links don't open and Firefox freezes in a way. I can navigate the page I am on but cannot click to open a new tab or bookmark.

When navigating the internet, if I come across a web page that has a link to open a picture or program in a new window, if I click on it, it does not open. Firefox immediately looses functionality in that I cannot open a new tab with the mouse wheel, right click to open a new tab, or use my bookmarks in either the drop down or toolbar to navigate away. I can usually still navigate the page that I am on, for example, (https://loanconsolidation.ed.gov/AppEntry/apply-online/appindex.jsp), when it freezes I cannot click on any of the content at the center of the page but I can still use the links from the list on the far left. For an example of the pictures, (http://www.insect-sale.com/), if you click on "New Arrivals" at the top of the page it takes you to a list of products that can only be viewed by clicking on them. Usually a picture of the item would open in a small window but it does not and Firefox freezes. This has also happen when I try a view a degree audit on a school's website where a program would usually open in a new window. The only thing I have been able to find that still functions properly when this happens is the home page button. I can click on it or use the wheel to open it in a tab just fine, but if I try and go anywhere else I cannot. The only way I can get Firefox back to normal is to use the Task Manager and end the process. Another thing I have noticed, that may or may not be related; is that my Norton Internet Security toolbar, that should show up below the bookmarks toolbar and above the tabs, only shows up about 1 out of every 10 times I open Firefox. Some days it doesn't show up at all. If it does show up and I log into Identity Safe, the autofill for the programed website works, even if the toolbar doesn't show up the next time I open Firefox.

Go to Tools->Options->Apps
Here you should see two columns: Content Type on the left, Actions on the right.
Find and select excel spreadsheet or any other content type in the left column. There should be a corresponding action in the right column. What is it? You can use the drop-down list to select the option you want:
Always Ask - Firefox will ask each time: What do you want to do with this file?
Save file - Firefox will save this file to your computer
Use - Firefox will give this file to the program to open it
In case of saving, Firefox will either prompt you every time where you want the file to be saved, or save it to the default location. It depends on the preference in
Tools->Options->General->Download

Creating a URL Link that opens in a new Window

HI all,
Is there a way in Captivate 3 to have the user click an object that opens a URL in a new window? By doing this the user can then close the new window and return to the CBT where she left off. Right now, the URL opens in the same window and when she clicks back it returns her to the beginning of the CBT.
Thank you in advance!
Kris

Hi there
You may accomplish this in several ways in Captivate. If you are using a Button or Click Box object, there is a button to the immediate right of where you type the URL:
Click this button and choose New.
You will also likely want to click it again and DE-select the Continue playing project option.
Cheers... Rick

When I click on a link that opens in a new window, it takes an unusual long time to open. (16-20 seconds). Same with opening Firefox when I turn on my laptop.

Once it's open, it works fine. I can move around the document or page without any issue, it's just opening. This does not happen when it opens a new tab. Only when it opens a new pop up page. Same with opening Firefox in the morning. I did the same process in IE, and did not have the same problem.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Also make sure that your security software is blocking (pop-up) windows.

When I clicked on a link, it opens into a new window. I would prefer that it opens as a new tab. Does anybody know how to change this? Thanks

Tools > Options > Tabs: [X] "Open new windows in a new tab instead"
You can look at the browser.link.open_newwindow prefs on the about:config page if you want to divert all JavaScript window.open() calls to a new tab.

How can I set web links to open in a new window?

I'm using the links tool in Acrobat 5.05 to create links in my pdf to other websites, not documents. When the pdf is posted online, I need those links to open in a new window. Now they open in the same window, which subjects the viewer to using the back button to return to the originating pdf and waiting for it to completely reload. This is a sizeable pdf file, making that very time consuming. I tried Un-checking the option about "Open Cross Document Links in Same Window" but tests indicated that it made no difference.
If you need more info to clarify my question, please just ask. Any suggestions in regard to solving this will be appreciated.
My apologies if a similar question has already been asked/answered. I did not find reference to it in my search.
Thank you.

You can use JavaScript for this. For example:
app.launchURL("http://www.adobe.com", true);
More information is in the Acrobat JavaScript reference. Note that this method is new to Acrobat 7. You can still use Acrobat 5 to create the JavaScript, but it won't work for versions less than 7, or for most users of non-Adobe PDF viewers. If you go this route, you should add some code that checks the version of Acrobat (Reader), and only execute the above code if 7 or above.

When I click on a web link to open in a new window - it has double Browser bars (chrome), no URL. I close that window and do it again it often works correctly.

How can I get embedded advertising links to open in a new window?

I am working with Muse and have tried editing the HTML but it didn't work.
Thanks, Sandy

If you are inserting links as text and then through Hyperlink adding external link , then you can setup the link to open in a new window.
http://helpx.adobe.com/muse/using/creating-hyperlinks.html#id_29862
In case the link is included in any html frame , you can declare target="_blank" which would open the links with a new window.
Thanks,

How do I set up an html link to open in a new window outside of the PDF?

I've done a lot of searching and cannot find an answer to this dilemma. I create press releases for my employer's website in InDesign, then export as PDFs. They appear as icons on the "news" page of our site, which the user clicks to open and read. Each PR has links to various pages on our site, but I want those links to open in a new browser window so that the user can still read the PR. I understand this option is not available in InDesign PDF export, but can I modify the link in Acrobat X, then resave? If so, how?
Thanks for your help.

The only way I know of is to use a JavaScript action with a link/button that uses the app.launcURL method where bNewFrame is set to true: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.150.html

Is there a way to make links automatically open in a new window / new tab when viewing the PDF online

Hi there,
Currently we are adjusting our PDF files at our company, in order to make them more "user-friendly".
We are looking for a way, when our customers view the PDFs online, that the URL that is in the PDF, when clicked on, will automatically open in a new window, instead of opening the URL in the same window as the PDF is opened..
Could some-one please help me this?
regards,

It worked for me. See the source of my example at (PDF link to open in new window). (Sorry, that is the default title of the test page.)

Drill that opens result in new window?

Is it possible to change the default drill behavior for OBIEE?
I need drill to open the result in a new window.

Actually I think user615005 is referring to clicking on a drilldown to make it open in a new window. This solution will make the report itself into a link and pop up in a separate window.
I've been looking for this functionality myself. I got a few js files from a blog I frequent, and I'm going to test them out. I'll post back if it's successful.

Link to open in a new window

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to make a button in Flash. I need it to open a new
window.
I tried:
on(release) {
getURL('
http://www.atlands.com',
_blank);
It still opens in the same window. What do I need to write
instead of _blank ???
Thanks for help
Jana

set your browser to open new windows in a new window.. the
code i provided is the correct code to open in a new window, as
well as using _blank.. both do the same. but in the world of new
browsers with tabs, it totally depends on the users' browser
settings.
also, your blank needs to have quotes around it, as it is a
string.
getURL("
http://www.ladakfda.com",
"_blank");

Please help: Linking from PDF to other PDF's that open in a new window... but NOT in full screen mode!?

Hi All,
I have a project where a PDF is viewed in full screen mode when opened, from within this I wish to link to a variety of other PDF's.
Creating the links is simple, however I can not work out how to control the new window so that the new PDF opens with the toolbars and menus, ie not in full screen mode.
Any help would be apreciated, google is not my friend on this one.
LB.

Hi Thanks for the response.
I thought I had, but what seemed to be happening was that the Linked PDF was
adopting the full screen property of the original PDF. I'll give it another
go and let you know.

Have you tried setting the initiall view properties of those PDFs to what
you want? Go File>Properties>Initial View.

I have just noticed that the new edit tools don't allow for setting up links to open in a new window. This is a very basic tool. Can it be incorporated ASAP.

previous editor made i t very easy for clients to create links in text that opened in new windows rather than existing window. I consider this a basic tool. Can it be re-incorporated ASAP.
