Hello.

I am creating an interactive form in Adobe Designer 7.0. I need to hyperlink a small amount of text to a website. I cannot find out anywhere how to do this. I have attempted to write FormCalc code and Javascript code in order to link this text. Neither one works. If anyone could walk me through the steps on this, that would be great!!

Thanks!

This will work in Designer 7.1.2, try it in 7.0.

Create a Button, and add this JavaScript on the Click event, to open a new browser window:

app.launchURL("address", true);

e.g. app.launchURL("http://www.adobe.com/", true);

Thank you! But it did not open in a new window. Is there any code to make it open in a new window? I have tried target="_blank" and it doesn't work. Thanks again!

Interesting. Perhaps Designer 7.0 is the cause. I use this code in Designer 7.1 and it works in Readers 7.0.9 and 8.1. I copied the above code again into my document, added it to the Button on the Click event, and it opened the document in a new window. Sorry, I can't test it in Designer 7.0.

I am creating an interactive form in Adobe Designer 8.0. I need to hyperlink a small amount of text to another form. How can I do that with a button and Javascript?
Thanks, Arabella
