Using Behaviors
457
To use the Open Browser Window action:
1
Select an object and open the Behaviors panel.
2
Click the Plus (+) button and choose Open Browser Window from the
Actions pop-up menu.
3
Click Browse to select a file, or enter the URL you want to display.
4
Set any of the following options:
Window Width
specifies the width of the window in pixels.
Window Height
specifies the height of the window in pixels.
Navigation Toolbar
is the row of browser buttons that includes Back, Forward,
Home, and Reload.
Location Toolbar
is the row of browser options that includes the location field.
Status Bar
is the area at the bottom of the browser window in which messages
(such as the load time remaining and the URLs associated with links) appear.
Menu Bar
is the area of the browser window (Windows) or the desktop
(Macintosh) where menus such as File, Edit, View, Go, and Help appear. You
should explicitly set this option if you want visitors to be able to navigate from
the new window. If you do not set this option, the user can only close or
minimize the window (Windows) or close the window or quit the application
(Macintosh) from the new window.
Scrollbars as Needed
specifies that scroll bars should appear if the content
extends beyond the visible area. If you do not explicitly set this option, scroll
bars do not appear. If the Resize Handles option is also turned off, visitors have
no easy way of seeing content that extends beyond the original size of the
window. (Though they may be able to make the window scroll by dragging off
the edge of the window.)
Resize Handles
specifies that the user should be able to resize the window,
either by dragging the lower right corner of the window or by clicking the
maximize button (Windows) or size box (Macintosh) in the upper right corner.
If this option is not explicitly set, the resize controls are unavailable and the
lower right corner is not draggable.
Window Name
is the name of the new window. You should name the new
window if you want to target it with links or control it with JavaScript. This
name cannot contain spaces or special characters.
5
Click OK.
6
Check that the default event is the one you want.
If it isn’t, choose another event from the pop-up menu. If the events you want
are not listed, change the target browser in the Show Events For pop-up menu.
