I inserted a button and a click box in CP7 to open an URL on a new window. The URL opens but in a New Tab. There is an issue that the URL cannot be opened on a NEW WINDOW, I am using IE and Chrome. Do you have any ideas about this issue and how to troubleshoot it? I tried with Safari and it works fine.


Thanks, Jorge - Adobe Captivate 7 user.

You generally cannot force the user's browser to do what you want.

Using JavaScript you can open a popup and specify that the window does not have a toolbar, specify a window size which would open a new window. If you do not specify the window options it would normally open in a new tab. All browser's act a little differently.

Hi Jorge

It's my understanding that all you can do is to configure the link to open in a new "whatever". Whether you get the link opening in a tab or a window is left up to the browser and how the particular user has their browser configured. For example, I use Firefox and when I look at its settings here is what I see.

I'm guessing there must be a way to force a new window, because I do see new windows appear. But I think in those cases folks are doing it by using JavaScript.
