I need to open a link which is on an HTML file into a new window. I have tried doing it using the hyperlink properties like - window = _blank etc.In that case it opens into a new window but says 'Page can not be displayed'.
If i directly copy that link from IE into my HTML file without setting its properties, then it displays all the contents but in the same window.
The whole aim is to display the contents right but, in a seperate window.
If you want to open a new link from a .fex follow the steps below.
1. Create a new fex and name it say myhtm.fex 2. Use
-INCLUDE MYHTM
command in your original program 3. In myhtm.fex, use the window.open() method to open a new link in a separate window (refer to MSDN Page for more explanation)
Sample code for myhtm.fex will be something like this:
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<HTML>
<script>
my_window = window.open('http://www.yahoo.com', 'newwin',
'resizable=yes, scrollbars=yes, toolbars=yes, location=yes, directories=yes, status=yes, menubar=yes, copyhistory=yes');
</script>
</HTML>
-HTMLFORM END

I was just trying to give him an option in case he wanted to make some changes to the code generated by HTML layout painter. Sorry, did not mean to offend you.

Well, if you're just using the gui to create your hyperlinks and such, it should be sufficient to enter the http:// address in the dialog window. 'Action' should be URL, in the 'Source' field you can type your http address, 'Target type' is window, and 'Target name' is _blank. As you found, your new window will open with this setting, so that works ok. If the page can't be opened or found, investigate the url shown in the location of the browser to see if it really is the correct one. Otherwise try some other url that will be found, like www.google.com.
