Executing Go To actions

The Go To action enables direct navigation within a title. The resulting action is dependent upon the target used with the action.

When the Go To action is selected and the Target is either a chapter, section, page, or Web address, the Open in field is enabled. This option gives you the ability to open the target location in a new or existing window.

To open the target location in a new window:

  1. In the Open in field, select New Window. This enables the Window Properties sub-menu item.

  2. Select the Window Properties sub-menu item to configure the new window's properties. The New Window Properties window opens. This window enables you to define the window size, where it should appear relative to the parent window, and additional HTML properties that determine the controls that should be displayed within the browser window if the title is published to the Web.

  3. Specify the following information within the New Window Properties window:

    Window Name

    The name specified will appear at the top of the new window.

    Window Style

    Use the drop-down list to select the style of the window. Select from the following:

    Use Publish Option

    Select this to use the publishing option for pop-up windows (Use Lightbox Pop Ups) to determine the style of the window. This is the default.

    Lightbox Pop Up

    Select this to display a Lightbox-based pop-up window. This will override the publishing option for pop-up windows (Use Lightbox Pop Ups).

    Screen Position

    This specifies the location of where the new window will open, relative to the upper-left corner of the parent window. Clear this option to specify the exact x and y coordinates of where you want the new window to open.

    When this option is selected, the scrollbars are disabled within the browser window.

    No Menubar

    When this option is selected, the menu bar is disabled within the browser window.
