Can I use javascript to open a URL?

First, client demands force me to use an alias to my targeted URL.  If I want the button to load "https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/", I have to create a .htm file that contains this:

 

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL='https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/'" />
</HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>

 

and then point my Captivate button to that .htm file to load the site.  It opens fine in a new tab.

Can I do this with javascript, but open the URL in a new browser window - not just another tab?  The tab has an effect on the main Captivate timeline when I close the tab.

Thanks!!!

You could try the following on a button

 

 

window.open("https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/", "_blank", "toolbar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes");

 

You'll just set the success action as Execute JavaScript and put the code in the Script Window.

Hopefully that helps you get going in the right direction.

First, thank you for your suggestion.

Apparently there is a popup blocker that's not permitting the page from opening.

Thanks again!
