Guided practice answer hyperlinks #3

Closed jsta closed 7 years ago

jsta commented 7 years ago

I really like the hyperlinks from the guided practice prompts to the answers. Also it makes sense that the hyperlinks at the actual answers point to web resources. However, when I download the pdf these answer hyperlinks (to external resources) do not launch my browser. Instead, they open a text file like this:

<html>
<head>
<title>Redirecting...</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://www.fda.gov/food/foodborneillnesscontaminants/metals/ucm115644.htm">

<script type="text/javascript">
  window.location.href = "http://www.fda.gov/food/foodborneillnesscontaminants/metals/ucm115644.htm"
</script></head>
<body>
<p>
  If you are not redirected automatically, use the following link:<br>
  <a href="http://www.fda.gov/food/foodborneillnesscontaminants/metals/ucm115644.htm">http://www.fda.gov/food/foodborneillnesscontaminants/metals/ucm115644.htm</a>
</p>
</body>
</html>

I am using the Okular pdf viewer.

@jsta do you notice the same behavior if you open it in Evince or another PDF viewer (e.g. Preview, Adobe Reader)?

Sorry about this, it works in Evince. I needed to set a kde browser default (http://askubuntu.com/questions/160918/clicking-links-in-pdfs-opened-with-okular-opens-abiword-instead-of-the-default).
