Open PDF in new Window

[postmanplod]

Hey Folks,

I'm trying to figure out a solution to this problem that has been hanging over my head now for a while. Basically we have grouped lists of PDF's and when the user clicks these, we want them to appear in a new window. Now I know you can go into Acrobat Reader and untick to open in browser, but the client wants it performed all behind the scenes. So, steps I have performed so far:

- Downloaded a Jquery library here:

http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.4.4.min.js

- Created a new file called: OpenPDF.js

- Pasted the following Code in the OpenPDF.js file:

$(document).ready(function() {
$("a[href$='.pdf']").removeAttr('onclick').attr("target","_blank");
});


- Uploaded both files to the newly created ScriptLibrary.


- Navigated to the List Page that has the PDF's

- Clicked Site Actions: Edit Page, Insert > Content Editor WebPart

- Clicked to Edit the HTML Source of the HTML WebPart, then pasted in the following to reference the two files that I uploaded to your Script Library:



<script type="text/javascript" src="/dhtpump/InformationSystems/ISTeam/ScriptLibrary/jquery-1.4.4.min.js" ></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="/dhtpump/InformationSystems/ISTeam/ScriptLibrary/OpenPDF.js" ></script>

- Saved the page.

Nothing happens - where have I gone wrong?

Regards,

Michael

it has been a few months since i played with jquery...

have you tried something simple like this:
$("#MSO_ContentTable").text("Welcome to Sharepoint jQuery")

i went crazy trying to get simple things to happen with jquery.

Hello,

Thank you for the reply.

I'm pretty new to sharepoint and java script. Where would I put $("#MSO_ContentTable").text("Welcome to Sharepoint jQuery")?

Regards,

Michael

Mmmm it still doesn't work. The list of pdf's are also grouped.....

Where are you storing the jquery files?

I created a new library and put them in there - I was told not to put it at the root though - does this matter?

shouldn't matter, just make sure all users have read access to the library holding the jquery files.

i also added my sp-admin account to the read permissions.

also have a look at this codeplex article:
