I have a document library that is a respoistory for various training guides (Pdf Files and swv files). I would like the library to be set up so when a user clicks on one of the files,it will open in a separate browser. I checked the doc lib settings and I do not see this as an option. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Take Care
A really quick and dirty way would be to hold down the shift key when clicking the hyperlink to open in a new browser, or, the ctrl key will open in a new tab if you are using FireFox or new versions of IE

I too have been looking for a way to accomplish this, is there any coding that can be added to a page to enable new window on document library items?

Thanks pakerl for the link,
I just gave it a try, and it will work if you add it to AllItems.aspx, but it doesn't seem to work if you have created a page, and added a listview webpart to that page.
At least I can't get it to work.
I've tried adding the webpart to the page, and also any views with no luck.
Any ideas?

I took a glance at Todd's article. He doesn't state it, but you might need to put the web part with the jQuery statement at the bottom of the zone (actually step 6 in his directions).
I find a lot of jQuery based webparts just behave better if they are at the bottom. I have a vague recollection that Paul told us that once too!
Hi,
You could have a look at this jQuery snippet that worked for my need to open PDF's in a new window you should be able to extend that for swf files too.
As KClassen states it should go BENEATH the web part you want it to affect (or at the bottom of a master.page)
Cheers
Ben
