Open a hyperlink in a new window - Publisher 2003

[AaronMor]

I have read all of these message boards and I can not get this to work. I
have multiple webpages that have multiples spots where if the user needs more
information they can click either a image or text that will take them to a
page with help information. Right now my pages all open in the same window. I
would like to have them open in seperate new windows.

I have tried the following which I thought would be the best solution since I
have multiple links on each page.

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function Show(Url, Name, Features) { window.open(Url, Name, Features); }
</script>

and then I used the following in the hyperlink of a image.

javascript:Show('index_files/5x_retrofit.htm','newwindow','toolbar=no,
scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,height=250,width=250')

Everytime I get an error on the page, what am I doing wrong???????

Try using an absolute link in the code:

javascript:Show('http://www.yoursite.com/index_files/5x_retrofit.htm','newwindow','toolbar=no,
scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,height=250,width=250')

This is assuming that you actually have a page "5x_retrofit.htm" on your
site.

Hi Dave,
My website resides on a LAN server and therefore I have to use virtual
paths instead of http, does this make a difference. I entered in the absolute
link like you stated but still received an error on page message. Please
advise on the best possible solution.

Sorry, but I don't know the answer. Keep playing with the path until you
find the correct way to write it, I guess...

I found that simple is GOOD.

I am using Publisher 2007 (have not tried this in Publisher 2003)

I have a brochure that I want to open in a new window so that if it gets
closed the site is still open
So I put the brochure in the same folder as the page that has its link
I inserted the following code fragment using publisher:

<Script Language="JavaScript">
function load() {
var load =
window.open('brochure.pdf','','scrollbars=no,menubar=no,height=600,width=800,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no');
}
// -->
</Script>

Then on that page I set the hyperlink to read:

javascript:load()

That's it

The brochure opens in a new window

BTW: If you have more than one link on a page that you want to open in a
new window and some that you don't ... here is how I did that
Hope this helps you out.

For the FIRST LINK

<Script Language="JavaScript">
function load1() {
var load =
window.open('brochure_one.pdf','','scrollbars=no,menubar=no,height=600,width=800,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no');
}
// -->
</Script>

Then on the page I set the hyperlink for brochure one to read:

javascript:load1()

For the SECOND LINK

<Script Language="JavaScript">
function load2() {
var load =
window.open('brochure_two.pdf','','scrollbars=no,menubar=no,height=600,width=800,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no');
}
// -->
</Script>

Then on the page I set the hyperlink for brochure two to read:

javascript:load2()
