Customizing size of new windows that links r opened in.

[chrisky]

Currently when an web address such as http://www.Whatever.com is typed in and as part of the Description portion of a bug (or the description portion of any other module), then that address is automatically displayed as a clickable web link.

The problem is that this web link is opened in a new window which was full size/screen.
It is not apparent to the [most] user(s) that they are no longer in the same browser window, thus leaving them confused as to how to go 'back' (backwards) to their previous screen/page (Sugar) from this new and external (non SugarCRM page) site they visited.

The solution I have is to open the new window with a size smaller than that of 'full screen' thus making it obvious/apparent to the user that they now have a new web browser window open of which can be closed using the little x at the top right corner among the other methods of closing a window/program.

I am prioritizing some other items this evening and thus putting this on a back burner, but the 20 mins I spent working on it, including this documenting things in order to finish this later.

The javascript code in which will accomplish this is as follows:

var newwindow;
function newcustomsizedexternallinkwindows(url)
{
newwindow=window.open(url,'name','height=750,width =550');
if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}

a href="java script:newcustomsizedexternallinkwindows('whatever TheFilenameOrAddress.html');

Some coding will need to be done in include/utils.php and some in the display view template as well (insertion of script code).
