Would anyone else find it helpful to enable file download Hyperlinks to open in a new window? I see this option is available when creating a hyperlink to an external page but could it be possible to open files in a new window also? I use this feature to download a PDF for a product brochure. I always find it strange when downloading a brochure for it to not happen in the background or a new window. Having just checked, I see that iWeb is the same but it would be nice to have the option as I feel it is more logical...? |

I actually find it an irritation when a new window opens for a file download but, if you really want to do it, just create the anchor in an HTML Snippet and add target="_blank" to open it in a new window ...<a href="{!-ASSETSPATH-!}External%20Files/file.zip" target="_blank">Download Link Text</a>You can also wrap the anchor around an image tag if you want the user to click a button instead... <a href="{!-ASSETSPATH-!}External%20Files/file.zip" target="_blank">

When you download from a link to a zip that doesn't open in a new window the file downloads in the background and the visitor doesn't lose sight of your page. When the link is set to download from a new window the visitor is presented with a blank page which they then need to close. How can this be better? ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!
