    Default Open file in a new window (PDF)

    Hi,

    I have a page on my site that contains some PDF documents. I want my customers to be able to open these files in a new window.

    If I create a link using text, I have no problem choosing "new window (_blank)" and the PDF file opens in a new window. However if I have a small PDF icon (png image), and I link from that, choosing the same way to open the file, It does not work. I just opens the PDF document in my website.

    This is extremely bad, as when most people want to go back to my site after having read the PDF document, they would just close the window, but now, they also close my shop.

    Please help.

    Can you post an example of the link you are using with the image?
    Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

    Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

    Hi Kim,

    First of all, sorry for the multiple posts, but I did not know which category this was under, and thought I would delete the ones that did not receive an answer.....

    Anyway, I fixed the problem by using an html editor outside of Zencart. This was the only way I could make the system remember to open in a new window.

    Again, sorry for the multiple posts
