Myself and a colleague are having issues opening hyperlinks in published courses. We're using hotspots or buttons or hyperlinked text to go to a website or download a file. We have validated that the links are good links.
When we publish the course, we cannot launch the links. We get the hand icon that indicates a link is there, but an additional window does not open. Other links from other pages in the same browser work fine.
I'm using Win 8, and Google Chrome, my colleague is using Windows 7, with IE.
I should note that previously (Until last week) I was using Win7 with IE9 and this worked fine for me.

To properly test your published content and share it with others, upload it to the environment for which it was published. Please review the following article for details:
