Target windows for links in Rise

Hi Alena

The code is set to open links in new windows always.

Can you share a link to where it's happening in same window? Perhaps it's
in an environment that's wrapping some code around the course that's
preventing it from running properly.

Hi Adam - thanks for your quick response! Here's the link:

We've got other links in the Note blocks in a different course which are opening in a new target window. Do you want me to send you the link for that one?

Hi Adam - I wondered if you've had any luck with fixing this?

Thanks

Alena

Hi Alena - we are looking into this as we speak. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for your patience.

Hi Adam - any update on this issue please?

Many thanks

Alena

Hi Alena,

I apologize for the delay in getting this bug fixed. It turned out to be a bit more tricky than expected. We are actively working on it and I'll update this thread as soon as we have a solution in place. 

In the meantime, have you tried removing and recreating the link. The behavior is a currently a bit random, so doing so might work for you. 

Thanks for the update Michael. I'll try that and let you know if it's successful.

Hi Alena

I noted that in you examples the problem seemed to be where the link did not have any text after it.

I did a test and that seemed to be the issue:

Basically the problem seems to relate to the link being on the end of a line

The first link does not open new page and when inspecting the code

<a href="https://articulate.com/">Link:</a>

The second link has target  blank

<a href="https://articulate.com/" target="_blank">&nbsp;Link:</a>
