Thierry - Open website in new window link

Hey Thierry,
I'm trying to validate a page of mine for xhtml strict and am
working on the
target="_blank" issue (last error). I thought I remembered
you posting
something about an article of yours, which I found, but I
can't seem to get
it to work. I don't have a need (for this particular example)
for it to pop
up into a fixed window..just want to link to another website
in a new
window.
Can I still apply your article or is it for pop up windows?
Thanks!
Dan

Thierry,
It's cool! Maybe you, and I wouldn't be surprised, can clone
yourself? :)
Dan

Opening website in new window from Digital Editions

I have links inside my .epub but when using a PC they either open inside the frame(with no ability to scroll or navigate) or tell you that you can open in new window. The latter is fine but there's no clear demarcation as to when this will happen. How do I make it so all links open to new window automatically?

getURL('moreInfo.cfm?ID='+data.dataProvider[data.selectedIndex]['ID'],
"_blank")

For some reason if I click a link that needs to open in a new window, the new window is blank. This just started happening when firefox updated itself last time

Ever since firefox automatically updated itself, I am not able to open websites in new windows - meaning that if I am on a website and you click a link on it that opens in a new window, that new window is blank. It used to work perfectly. I even checked my foxit reader and that it working well

Hello Angelika.
I should bring your attention to the fact that your user agent says you're using Firefox 3.6, not 3.0. I will remind you that Firefox 3.0 has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems.
As for your problem, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

When I click on a link within a website to open a document (word, excel etc.), Firefox doesn't open it. Even when I tell it to open in a new window, it just opens a blank tab labeled "untitled."

When I try to click on a link to a document within a website, that document doesn't open like it should. For instance, if I go to the census website and click on a link to open an excel spreadsheet, Firefox doesn't do it. It usually does nothing; if I tell it to open in a new window or tab, it just opens a tab labeled "untitled" that ends up being a blank page.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== 2 months ago?

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

When I open a link in a website it opens as a new window instead of just staying on the same page

In any website, when I click on a link it opens in a new window.this even occurs in google when I click any of the results it opens in a new window instead of just staying on the same page.tabs work fine however, it is just links on websites.

Did you check the search settings on the Google Search Settings page?
* http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en
''Where results open: Open search results in a new browser window.''
You can set the browser.link.open_newwindow pref to 1 to open links by default in the current tab.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow (3)
You can set this pref to 0 (zero) to do this for all widows opened via JavaScript.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction (0)

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.

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.

Links to files doesn't open in a new window

I've noticed that links (that refers to a specific file) created in Adobe Indesign doesn't open in a new window like the links that refers to a website when I autoconverts it in Acrobat Pro X.
Example:
LINK1: http://www.acrobat.com/testfile.pdf <--- does not open in a new window when clicked
LINK2: http://www.acrobat.com/testfolder <--- opens in a new window when clicked
Are there any way to fix this?
Will the same problem occur if I create the links in Acrobat instead?
I'm asking this because I don't want the form to disappear when the links are clicked.
Best,
Mikey

Firefox should divert the new window to a new tab when you check this box in Google's Search Settings:
"Open search results in a new browser window"
I can't think of any reason for Firefox to divert a new window back into ''the same tab''.
In case one of your add-ons is the culprit, could you try Firefox's Safe Mode?
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox using Help>Restart with Add-ons Disabled. Don't check any of the boxes in the [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode] dialog, just Continue in Safe Mode.
Does it make any difference?

I have a link to pictures now I would like to have them open in a new window

I finally have a link to my pictures with the correct size. I think I want them to open in a new window. This would make it easier for people to go back and forth to different groups. Currently when I click on a link it shows the pictures in a slide show, but is difficult to go back to the home page and click on the next group.

And by the way, it's not a good idea to start a new thread like this. It's best to keep this discussion in the original thread since it's relevant to the discussion there. But since you have already done so, let's leave it like this....

Click on a new website and it opens in a new window?

For some time now when I click a link to something from a different web page it opens in a new window.
Or if I select the option "open new windows in a new tab instead" then any links to a different website open in a new tab.
For example If I search for something in Google, then click any of the search results. The result opens in a new website.
However If I click something else from the Google website e.g. "Shopping" Then this opens in the same page.
The results is very irritating as I end up with hundreds of windows (or tabs) open.
I suspect this is a setting rather than a bug as it is 100% of the time.
Any ideas guys? I would love to go back to normal browsing

its according to the website your viewing.
Some website code is wriiten to open the link in same page/tab or new page/tab.
if it opens more than one page per click, then check out for malware/thread.

Links open with a new window help

I'm trying make my links on my website open with a new window. This way the customer won't have to find his way back to the site. I found this thread-http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=339861
It looks to be pretty helpful but I can't figure out how to edit the html file after I published it. Any suggestions?

Welcome ny854
You might want to try using an html editor like Taco HTML Edit to open html files, I find it makes them much easier to read.
Your file is viewing as a web page because Safari is probably set as the default app to open html files.
What you need to do is press the "ctrl" key when you click on the file in your iDisk, this will give you a menu, choose Open With, then choose the app that you want to open the file with from the list that you see. If you use text edit (launch the app, go to Text Edit > Preferences > Click Open and Save > Check “Ignore rich text commands in html files”).

How do I make all links open in a new window?

I have some RSS feeds on my website. If you click one of their headlines it takes you to that source to read the story. Is there a way to make all hyper links on a webpage open in a new window? If not, is there a way to make the individual links open in a new window? The website is http://www.businessfixer.net/articles

Mark,
Target: e.g. <a href=”#” target=”_blank”> is deprecated (outdated) code. Strict doc types will not pass validation.
OP,
Most people know how to use their browsers BACK button to return to a site. Or better yet, right click on links to open them inside new tabs or windows. This should almost always be a user's decision and not a web designer's decision.
If you have all links open in new windows/tabs, In no time at all, user's browser will be stuffed with them which is ugly and can diminish browser performance.
If you need to open a new window on SELECT links, use the Behaviors Panel, press the Plus sign (+) and select Open Browser Window. Repeat this for all links you want opened in new windows.

When I open a new link or bookmark I want it to open in a new window not a slew of tabs so I can see which sites I have open.

I'm sorry if I'm not using the correct terminology. When I open a new window or a link I want it to open a whole new window so I have 500 open FireFox tabs in my taskbar if I open that many windows. I do not like having everything open in one window. Used to be I could find how to undo that but you changed everything on me and now only rocket scientists can use your application. If Chrome and Internet Explorer weren't so ridiculous, I would change. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

This didn't help me at all. I want a separate window to open each time I open a new tab or bookmark. Currently when I open a new link it just adds a tab to the window already open so from my non-technie point of view, I only have one window open and have to go up top to see what is open vs. being able to look below in my taskbar and see what I have open.

Target for a .pdf with the link target _blank does not open in a new window.

I have a simple html document with links to .pdf documents all set to _blank but only one opens in a new window. The others open as _self. Changing the target doesn't seem to make a difference.
Any idea as to why that is happening?

The Template .dwt file is only used locally by DW itself, there's no reason to upload it to the server unless you intend to share it with someone. You have to upload each individual page that the Template updates, every time you update the template and propagate that change across the child pages.
It would probably be better to use a server side include. That way, you could update one file then upload it and all of your pages would automatically carry that update...

Creating a link in a PDF form to open into a new window

I have created the PDF form and every thing seems to be working fine. But I would like to set a link in the form that would open into a separate page. I have tried target="_blank" and onclick="window.open(this.href, 'child', 'scrollbars,width=650,height=600'); return false" with no success. Can someone give me some direction on how to create a link within a PDF form that will open into a new window?

Try this, using JavaScript:
app.launchURL("http://www.adobe.com",true);
