Opening hyperlinks in new or existing window
|
|
|
| G'day,
using Publisher 2000
I've read David Bartosik's "Hyperlinks that open a new browser window"
http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/a...1/13/81266.aspx
and reviewed postings in the n/g. I understand how to force links
to open in a new window.
However.......
I thought I saw/read ?somewhere? that there was a "global" setting
in MS Publisher that would set all links to open in new windows
instead of the default 'current window'. Naturally, I may have been
hallucinating (bad ice in my drinks ;), but if this sounds familiar
to any one else, I'd appreciate any response.
Thanks again to DavidB and DavidF for contributing so much of your
knowledge. Your, and all contributors', answers to posts are greatly
appreciated.
Cheers,
tomZ

| G'day to you tomZ,
Thanks for your comments...
I am not sure if the following works or not. I haven't tested it, but ran
across it sometime in the past and saved it in my "sample scripts" folder.
If it doesn't work, perhaps it will lead you to an answer. If you do find a
solution, let us know...

| Thanks for the script David.
It's probably too far over my head, but I'll try it never the less.
I peruse the dynamicdrive website to see where to include and how to
use.
Cheers,
tomZ

| Tom,
Actually I had the same reaction, but after posting it, I decided to try
it...trial and terror, you know, and it does work. In fact, I may change my
Favorite Links page and use it instead of the method I currently use. It is
easier to use than you would think. I only played with the basic features
offered with the script, but perhaps that is all you need.
Just create a new, blank webpage. Create a text box with several lines of
sample text. Select a word on each line, and insert a hyperlink. Then copy
the code and create a "insert HTML code fragment box", (you can put it
anywhere on your page) and use Ctrl + V to paste the code into the fragment
box. Then do a web preview and click your links, and voila...they open in a
new window.
If you want to exclude a domain from opening in a new window, such as your
navbar links? (I didn't test this, but anticipate it might be a problem),
you will have to add them to the line:
var excludedomains=["dynamicdrive.com", "javascriptkit.com"]
Try adding one of the domain names in your sample links.
I also noticed that if you want you can delete this much of the script from
the bottom without affecting the way it works:
<p align="center"><font face="Arial" size="-2">Free DHTML scripts provided
by<br>
<a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com">Dynamic Drive</a></font></p>
As you are giving credit to the author and dynamicdrive.com within the
source code, I personally don't feel I need to give them visual credit on
the page where I use the script, but you can decide that for yourself. If
you want to give them credit, then I would post the script at the very
bottom of your page. I may change my mind if I use the script, as I do
believe in giving credit where credit is due.
Good luck.
