Hi there,

this is a really urgent query.

How do we get our hyperlinks to open in a new window?

When you click on either of the 2 hyperlinks in our survey, the link opens in the SAME window. This means that any respondent clicking on a link won't go back and complete the survey! Please advise how we can ensure our hyperlinks open in a NEW window?

Thanks very much
Kim Hendry

Did you use: target="_blank" ?

Volunteers are not paid.
Not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless

Hi guys, new here and to limeSurvey. I find it invaluable using it for our not for profit. But this has me stumped. I am doing a survey and I need a link in the question to a very long text doc. but the hyperlink opens in the same window and takes the person away from the survey. I have tried everything mentioned in earlier answers elsewhere in the forum but to no avail. Would be very grateful for some help on this.
Many thanks

Hi,
I entered

www.example.com/ " target="_blank:

and it opens the website in the same tab and a 404 message as it tries to find;

target="_blank:

My apologies as I am not a programmer and I placed the link code within the body of a question paragraph using the link button. What am I doing wrong? That usually works in other programs!

Please provide the complete link.

Is there really a colon instead of quotation marks?

Hi Jofmm,

Apologies, I was entering the code in the wrong place :-( . Sorted now and works perfectly. Thank you for your patience.
