"open in new window"

[egptech]

I use an HTML page as a menu for PDF files on a CD. I would like the PDF files to open directly in Acrobat reader when the link is clicked, rather than open in the same or new browser window. Is there a relatively easy way to accomplish this?

<a href=&quot;#&quot; onclick=&quot;window.open('

http://www.egp.com')&quot;>Here</a>

This attempt did not work as desired.
Thanks,
Gene

i dont think that is easily accomplished or even possible. pdf's will be rendered by the browser 100% of the time (im sure there is a way to force acrobat to open) but i doubt that is easy. also what purpos would that do as all the acrobat functions are available in the browser anyways when a pdf is opened.

<a href=&quot;mypdf.pdf&quot; target=&quot;new&quot;>pdf</a> easiest solution to openeing a new window

...and acrobat would have to be installed which, thankfully, most don't have.

And most already have in a default install of Mozilla / netscape anyway.
