To apply the Behavior to text, you'll need to first make that text a Null Link. Do so by typing the pound sign (#) or javascript: void(0) in the link field in the Properties Inspector (fig 1)

  1. With either the text or the image selected, go to the Behaviors Panel (Windows>Behaviors) and select Open Browser Window. (fig 2)


  2. This brings up the dialog window:
  • URL to Display : This is the location (relative or absolute) of the new window you're opening. If it's an absolute location, type it in the field. It's a good idea to include the "http://". If it's a relative link you can type in the path OR better, use the "Browse..." button to navigate to the file. Browsing for the file rather than typing in the link will help ensure you get the path to the file correct.
  • Window width & height : Specify the Width and Height for the new window in pixels. If no window size is specified, the new window will open at the same size as the window that opened it.
  • Navigation Toolbar : Select this option if you want the window to display the Forward, Backward, Stop, etc. buttons in your window.
  • Location Toolbar : This is the area that displays the path or location the page is located.
  • Status Bar : This is the area of the window that displays information such as load time, and custom messages appear. This is located at the bottom of the browser window.
  • Menu Bar : If you check this option the new window will contain the menu items: File, Edit, View, Go, etc.
  • Scrollbars as Needed : Selecting this option will allow scrollbars to be present if the content in the new window exceeds the dimensions you set for the popup window size. If you are creating a new window that matches the same size as its contents you wouldn't need to select this option since there wouldn't be any content to scroll.
  • Resize handles : Select this option if you want to allow the window to be manually resized the window by dragging the bottom right corner of the window or by clicking on the Maximize button.
  • Window Name : It's a good idea to name the window. You can name it anything you like. Just make sure not to include spaces or special characters.


Hope it helps :)
