Re: Opening a website in new browser window

David,

I may have read it wrong, based on the OP's post below. Perhaps he meant he simply wanted a new window to open but his scroll bars would be available if someone closed the new window.

My ESP has left the building. But on the plus side, I have more than a bushel of tomatoes to make juice from!

Hi Mike,

I see your point. I was reading it another way, and just thought the OP wanted to open in a new browser window. Obviously I was wrong, and should read things more carefully. Thanks for the clarification.

David,

I guess I wasn't being clear. It's not real hard to open a page, either in a new window or the same one (it the OP's case, I don't see it making a huge difference, as he wants to keep his nav bars and not leave his site), but it's problematical making the iframe the correct size. The Pub page's frame would have to be long enough to hold the target page or a viewer will get a vertical scroll bar. Ditto for the width. And links on the target page may bring up pages that are much longer or shorter.

I've done this but usually am calling a php page, such as a survey which is not deep and automatically adjusts to the page width. But imagine if the target site has its own nav bars - it's likely going to be a hideously designed view presented to the visitor.

Basically, if I'm so concerned about keeping a visitor on my site that I'll do everything possible to prevent it, I wouldn't put any off-site links on it!

Actually it is possible to code a link so that it opens in a new window Mike. There are at least two ways in Publisher. Reference: Create a hyperlink in Publisher that opens in a new window:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher/HA011587451033.aspx

However, the ECMAScript method has a code error. This error was caught by another poster who said:

"The problem with the script on page HP030805631033.aspx is that it includes
'comment out' code, meant to prevent older browsers from displaying the
script as HTML. The script does work if you remove the 'comment out' code.


The script on page HP030805631033.aspx is: <script language="JavaScript"
type="text/javascript"> <!-- function Show(Url, Name, Features) {
window.open(Url, Name, Features); } // --> </script>.


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


This is the same script, but without the 'comment out' code of <!-- and //
-->."

I use both methods, and can confirm they both work with the change in the code snippet.

For all intents and purposes, this isn't feasible. It's akin to wanting to wanting to watch your fireplace when you visit the neighbors down the street.

The only thing you might try, and I don't recommend it, would be using an i-frame to contain the site. I would bet it will look like crap, though.

How do I get a link inside Publisher 2007 to open up a website into a new browser window?

For example, I want to provide the convenience on my web site for a viewer to clike a link to see valuable content, without leaving my site entirely. I don't want them to have to click their back button, rather still see my navagation bars while they view the other site.
