Hi all,

On my survey, I have links to some instructions (images), and I would like to open them in a new tab (or window), but as I've searched it through all the application, this forum and manual, I can't find how to do that.

Is that possible? Could it have to do with the version I'm using (Version 1.90+ Build 9596)?

Thanks to you all,
João Fernandes

This actually has little to do with Limesurvey. This is a HTML or Javascript issue.

You either have to open the additional information in a popup window via Javascript (switch on javascript for your survey in the administration) or go with a good old html link with target="blank" (I think). Have a look on the internet, there should be plenty of examples.

Thanks for the quick reply, holch. Like you said and for future reference, it is as easy as editing the group / question you want, toggle fullscreen, and click in the "source" button. Then, you just have to edit the HTML and insert «target="_blank"» in the elements you want to open in a new tab.

Thanks,
João

Evidently not as easy as all that. Every time I add the " target="_blank" html code and save the question the html disappears!!! Is it a bug that the html language you type in just disappears or changes?

This is the code I typed in:

If yes, please indicate the dataset(s) that you used from the list linked below:</p>
<pre>
<a href="calm.geo.berkeley.edu/ncalm/dtc.html" target="_blank"><span>NCALM Data Tracking Center</span></a></pre>

this is what I get when I save or save and close:

Why is my " target="_blank" disappearing?

I'm not sure why that is being sanitized (1.90 is quite old) but have you tried the editor "Link" button?

Yes, I've tried that as well. It puts the coding in but when I save or save and close the coding either disappears or changes (i.e. the < and > signs change to &g).

I'm using this version of LimeSurvey: Version 2.00+ Build 121019

Is the XSS filter turned off?

Nope it wasn't...that was the problem. All is good now. Thanks so much!!!
