create a link to open in a new window |
|
|
I hate to ask such a basic question, but I just can't seem to find the
answer. How can you tell a link in a list to open in a new browser window?

There's no way that I know of to do that in a Links list in SharePoint. If
you're writing HTML, you specify a target in the <a> link. I suppose you
could code a button on the list page to do that.

You can do this if you are using a Data View Web Part (DVWP). Using a DVWP
is very simple but requires FrontPage 2003 to configure it.
I have an example for the list of links on my homepage which open in a new
window.

Can you provide a little more info on how to use a DVWP to do this? I've
read some of the links on your site about this and it all seems to point to
creating new web parts that tap into databases, etc. Are you talking
about creating new web parts, or editing an existing list with FP2003 or
what? I do use FP2003 and know my way around somewhat, but could use a
little more help on where to get started with this one.

Actually, I found out how to insert a data view by just going to
Insert/Database/Data View from the menu in FP. And I see that I can select
my list of links as the database source and have it insert that list into
the web page. So I guess I'm now down to trying to find how to configure
the list so that each item opens in a new window when clicked.

Odd that no-one thought just to refer to the WSS FAQ (see my sig) item for
this.
This is item III.80 and is the third hit when searching the site with
"Links". (III.80 "How do I open links in a new browser copy")
There's more detail and options there than in this thread so far (as far as
I can see). [Although using XSLT is common]

Very simple, watch the video...

You only have to set the target value for the first link and it is applied
to every item in that column.
Thought I had recorded audio but something went wrong and I have to finish
packing for a trip to Redmond tomorrow...

Oh, and it was a total fluke that Sig Weber
(http://www.asaris-matrix.com/sweber/playground/default.aspx) just happened
to come online while I was recording :-)
