Open Link in New Window Instead of a PopUp

  • My theme is TwentyFoureen. I have a Flash (SWF) banner in the sidebar. I did not upload the SWF file, it is a link. When clicking on the Flash banner the link opens in a popup. How to I get it to open in a new tab? My HTML is limited but I read somewhere I need to include getURL(“XXX”, “_blank”); Any idea where exactly this needs to go? If it is wrong, how do I get the link to open in a new tab when clicking on the banner? I tried targe’=_blank but it is not working.

    This is the SWF banner, I blanked out the link details:

    <object width="160" height="600" classid="clsid:XXX" codebase="https://XXX.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=4,0,2,0"><param name="movie" value="//XXX.swf?clickTag=https://XXX&clickTAG=https://XXX" ><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><embed src="//XXX.swf?clickTag=https://XXX&clickTAG=https://XXX" quality="high" wmode="transparent" pluginspage="https://www.XXX.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="160" height="600" allowscriptaccess="always"/></object>

    The XXX is the company’s name, is it really essential?

    Only if you need specific advice.

    Your solution is that somethings somewheres has to be changed to somethings else. See I just solved your problem. Now if you need the selfless volunteers here to test your problem and give you free specific advice, then details are required, otherwise be happy with the generalities.

    The other approach is that you create an analogue of your problem, that exhibits the same problems and without attached confidentiality.

    I would like to thank you all for helping me with this, I really appreciate it. As I cannot reveal the company’s name I have contacted their development department to look into this. It appears that the problem is only with one banner (lucky me, the one I chose to use) and all the rest are working fine. I asked them to look into this and let me know exactly what was the problem. I will update their answer in thread to help other people that might face the same problem as I did.
