Trouble with the Open Browser Window behavior

I have a page with thumbnail images. I want to be able to
click the thumbnail and have a new window open with just that image
in the window. If I don't assign a link to the thumbnail, and
select the Open Browser Window behavior, the only 3 options for
when to open the window are onLoad, onError, or onAbort. I want it
to be opened onClick. If I do assign a link to the image, and then
select the Open Browser Window behavior, it gives me the option to
open the window onClick. However, when I test it, it opens 2 new
windows - the one I want, and the one that is the link that I
assigned to the image.
I can't figure this out! Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

You must always do the following when applying behaviors to
images:
1. Assign a link to the image first, even if it is a null
link. Use the
Property inspector to do this.
2. Click on the image in Design view, then click on the
<a> tag that you
see on the Tag inspector bar at the bottom of the document
pane so that the
anchor tag is selected.
3. Now apply your behavior.
You *can* usually truncate this process as follows -
1. Select the image in Design view and make sure that
<img> is selected on
the Tag selector bar.
2. Apply the behavior.
3. Use the behavior panel to set the event desired to
<A> onClick, or <A>
onMouseOver, or any of the appropriate "<A>" containing
items in the list.

  • Open Browser Window behavior not working

    Just getting started with DW from GL - have successfully imported a few sites into DW from GL and am having trouble getting the Open Browser Window behavior to work. Worked fine in GL, code is similar but different. Have tried different things and am out of ideas. I'm not too code-savy.
    Here's where the non-working behaviors/actions are: http://www.philasecurities.com/data/luncheon.html
    When a user clicks on the red "more..." links they should open a new browser window like they do in the "Click
    here for previous years..." section.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    bregent, thanks for your input but unfortunately most of that's greek to me. Could you either supply me with sample code for one of these links or explain what I'm doing wrong in the design mode? I've followed DW instructions and as far as I can tell I'm doing what I'm supposed to in the behaviors tag inspector. Not sure about some of the settings I should have when browsing for the linked file to open in the new browser window. What should the parameters be set to? What should the relative link be set to, document or site root? How about some of the other options like Select file name from: data sources, server, site root? I've messed with them and tried different combinations but nothings working for me.

  • Open Browser Window Behavior

    I am using the Open Browser Window behavior. When test on my
    machine, it works fine in IE, Safari, Firefox and Navigator. When I
    upload to my test server it does not open at the correct size in IE
    7 (did not test earlier versions) and Safari 3. In both browsers,
    the new window is tiny, whereas I am specifying 460 wide and 490
    high.
    The code for this behavior is: <li>Chairman - John
    Andrews (<a href="#"
    onclick="MM_openBrWindow('Bios&amp;Roles/BioJMA.html','BioJMA','width=460,height=490')">b io</a>)</li>
    The page is at:
    http://www.collabracom.com/Home-Test8/About/Index.html#
    I have the behavior inside a Tabbed Panel. The links for this
    behavior on on the "Leadership" tab.
    John

    My pet peeve - a website in a single page.
    It works fine for me in IE7. Once I found the tab.

  • Open Browser Window Behavior - Why is hover cursor and I-beam vs finger?

    Why do links that use the Open Browser Window Behavior create
    an I-Beam when one mouses over while all other links display the
    finger icon? The I-Beam is hard to see and not the "normal" thing a
    visitor to a site expects to see when hovering on a link. Anybody
    know what this is about?
    I am attaching the code. At least I think I am...
    And here is a page in a site I am working on that shows this
    phenomenon:
    Click
    here.
    The link I am referring to is in the body: "Let's try a Notes
    Popup here"
    Thanks!

    Your A tag is missing its href atrribute, which in this case
    should be
    "popuptest_1.html" and then add ";return false;" after the
    openBrWindow
    call, so this:
    <a style=""
    onclick="MM_openBrWindow('popuptest_1.html','','resizable=yes,width=300,height=200')">Let
    try a Notes Popup here.</a>
    becomes this:
    <a style="" href="popuptest_1.html"
    onclick="MM_openBrWindow('popuptest_1.html','','resizable=yes,width=300,height=200');retu rn
    false">Let's try a Notes Popup here.</a>

  • Ie7 open browser window behavior problem

    I'm stuck! I'm using the open browser window behavior to have
    a click through to a small photo on my site. I have defined the
    dimensions and it works fine in firefox but in ie7 the browser
    window is too wide - wider than the size I defined...
    Can anyone help?
    You can see the problem is you visit
    http://www.dizigniz.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/anastasia/anastasia.htm#
    and click on the 'view' button under 'Swatches'

    If you are opening an image directly in the browser, you will
    never succeed
    in doing this. Is that what you are doing? If so, then
    investigate the use
    of

  • Open Browser Window behavior not working in IE6 Win

    Using DW 8 on Mac and can't get this Open Browser Window
    behavior to work in IE 6 on a Windows machine. Any
    suggestions?

    This page is a GoLive page, and it throws a js error when it
    loads because
    of some of the GoLive code you have left therein.
    I see that link as orange in IE6. And when you click on the
    link, you throw
    another js error, because the function (MM_openBrWindow) is
    not defined on
    the page - which is what causes the link to open in a
    full-size browser
    window. If it were not for that js error, you would get TWO
    windows opening
    since you have BOTH a link and the behavior, and the behavior
    is not
    'killed' with a return false, like this -
    <a href="aptapp.html" class="override"
    onClick="MM_openBrWindow('aptapp.html','QualifyforFREEMOVE','scrollbars=yes,width=760,hei ght=800');return
    false">

  • A:hover with "open browser window" behavior?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to make a text link follow the a:hover style (CSS?) with the behavior of "open browser window"?
    I've been using the "OnClick" option (for behaviors), but the cursor doesn't turn into the little hand symbol so I feel like people won't know that you can click on it.  If I could make it change color like it does when it is a direct link, or if i could make the hand symbol appear, that would be great.
    Thank you in advance!!

    We'd need to see your code but I'm guessing you did not highlight the link text and make it a null link.

  • Open browser window behavior in Mac not working right

    I am simply selecting my text in my html document and then selecting "Open Browser Window" from the Behaviors panel.  I then put in the info for the file I want it to open along with the size, etc...
    When I test it in the browser (Safari) the link works but the rollover features don't show ... it doesn't show as a link in the browser window.  I followed the tutorial exactly and the instructor's browser showed the link as a rollover.  It's driving me a bit crazy.
    I'm using CS5 on the latest version on Mac OS (Snow Leopard).
    I can put up an example if needed.
    Thanks so much for any assistance.

  • How to get the text of an onclick/'open browser window' behavior to look like a link

    If I set this behavior to a specific word (on an <a> tag without the 'href') the link is not underlined and the mouse does not turn into a pointer. If I set this behavior to a full <a> tag with the 'href="..."' then the browser opens a new window (as per the behavior) and a new page on the original window (as per the href="..."). How do I get the link to appear as a link (underlined and mouse changing into pointer) without having to assign a href="..." to the <a> tag?

    Gary,
    I appreciate the time you are giving me to address my question. However, even though I would like to have this link stand out to the viewer, I do not want it to stand out from all the other links that surround it. Also, I have tried the solution you have given me, yet it to also causes the browser to load the new window and the original page. There is no difference whether the behavior is linked to <a href> or some other tag as long as there still is an <a href> the original browser will load the new page as well.

  • Most recent version of Mozilla Firefox (Windows 7 64 Pro) will open but not display any content in the open browser window.

    After logging into Laptop, Win 7 64bit Pro and launching Mozilla Firefox the browser window opens but the content is blank or black. Mouse over produces change and the only thing I can get to display is when I click in the area the Config/Setup icon would be on the tool bar.
    Even uninstalled and then reinstalled the latest versions of Firefox but still getting the exact same results. Yesterday there were many Windows Updates applied to my computer but after rebooting post updates, Firefox was working fine for the entire day and evening.

    hello spitcher, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
    in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

  • Why does "Open Browser Window" Behavior only give the option for "OnMouseOver"?

    The title says it all.  I want to use the OnClick behavior butit will not let me have that option.  I can not figure it out, nor find anything on Google.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ryan.

    Which one?
    2014.0 (June of last year)
    2014.1 (October last year)
    2014.1.1 (most recent)
    If you don't have the "latest" the general blanket statement of "update to the most recent" will probably be what you get from any customer support personnel you reach.
    Personally, I haven't gone past 2014.0 yet, and probably won't for a while.
    In my CC 2014.0, the OnMouseOver is the default, but when I click it in the Behavior Panel to choose other options, they're all there.

  • How can I customize the opened browser window

    I need to customize the browsers to tell them not to display the address bar or any toolbars. This will be a stand alone presentation that won't connect to the web but use the browser to present. I don't want any browser details. As close to a frame as possible like a pop up window.

    When you post a question and then repost more variations of that question, the threads can grow very confusing.  This one has been answered in one of your other threads.  I am locking it.

  • Open browser window in same location

    I am using Dreamweaver CS3. I have photos opening up to their
    original size with the open browser window behavior. The problem I
    am having is that the new browser opens up bringing the main page
    back to the top with the new window at the top. How can I get is to
    open in the exact location where the photo is shown without
    bringing the main browser window to the top? Should I be doing
    something else beside using behaviors?

    It would be better to use an arbitrary string after the "#",
    making sure
    that that fragment identifier does *not* match a named anchor
    on the page.
    That way the document won't jump *and* won't freeze either;
    which can happen
    in IE6 when users click on links that have "javascript;" for
    href values.
    An even better approach of course would be to use a "real"
    href (what's
    loaded in the popup) with a "return false" statement...

    Thanks for the responses. The java script command worked
    well. To avoid IE issues, I made the link like this: #!. That makes
    it pop up right there. The open browser command was done on the a
    tag for the image (the original # place holder). How would you use
    a "real" href with the return false command? Can you give me an
    example?
