Specifying window size for a webpage linked to a Button in RISE

Dec 09, 2018

When adding a webpage link to a button, is it possible to have the page open in a separate window and specify the window size?  (I recall this is/was an option in presenter and quizmaker....)  If not, is there a way to add (or change) a line of code manually?

Hi Marc,

Right now, using a Button Block to link to a webpage will open the webpage in a new tab, not a new window.

Unfortunately, changing the size of the browser window, isn’t something you can currently do in Rise, but we'd love to hear more about how being able to do that would be helpful for you.

Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Hi Guillermina, while we don't have a way to open the webpage in a new window, have you tried using the embed block to embed the website into your course? This way, the learner doesn't need to access the website on a different tab.

You can embed your site by using this iframe code:

<iframe src="URL"></iframe>

Once you insert the link to the iframe code, it should look something like this:
