Opening .pdfs in the same window/tab.

I look at a lot of .pdfs (Journal Articles) in my browse. Generally, I only download a fraction of the ones I look at. Recently, Firefox has stopped opening .pdfs in the same window/tab. Instead, it prompts me to download every .pdf I want to look at. I then have to save them, open them on my desktop, look at them, and then delete the ones I do not want to keep. Does anyone know how to get Firefox 10.0.2 to start opening .pdfs in the same window/tab again?

How do I get Firefox to show jpeg files in the same window/tab like it once did instead of asking me what to do everytime?

For a long time, whenever I click on a jpeg link in one of my Yahoo groups, the image simply loads in the Firefox window or tab that I'm viewing and I can simply hit the back button to return to the page I was on before. But just recently when I click on a jpeg link, Firefox asks me where I want to download the file and I have to choose between opening another tab, using Windows Photo Viewer, or selecting another program, I believe this is unnecessary and cumbersome. I would like it if Firefox would simply show me the image I'm trying to view in the same window/tab like it used to instead asking me where to download it and/or opening up a new tab when I don't really need it.

Hi Twistednerve84, 
At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then select Options to access the options window. Go to the Applications Panel and next to 'JPEG image' content type select to use your default application to view images.

How do I set Firefox to open items in the same window instead of a new tab or window?

I want to be able to open items (such as click on the results of a search) and not have it open in a new tab or window, just open in the same window (as the search results).

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow
*1: current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab;
For links opened via JavaScript you can look at this pref:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Opening .pdf files in same window

I'm new to AA9 but have used AA7 for a long time. In AA7, if I had a .pdf file already open on the desktop, and I opened another file by double-clicking on it, the new file would open in the same window. Then, I could close that file within the window and toggle between numerous files from the "minimize/maximize/close" icons in the window. Since I work with a lot of maps, it was very convenient to have the icons lined up across the bottom of the page, and open and close them as needed. Now, with AA9, when I double-click, it opens a new window, complete with all the toolbar icons etc. This is very inconvenient by comparison, and I don't know how to change it. I've looked through preferences and cannot find an option to fix this. Is this something I won't be able to accomplish in AA9? If so, I will go back to using AA7, but I like some of the other features of AA9, so I hope someone knows how to reset this function. (FYI, I'm using Windows 7, 64-bit, Intel Core 2 Duo, T9600, 6GM RAM, Nvidia GeForce GT230M w/ 1GB DDR memory). My version of AA9 Pro is part of Adobe Creative Suite CS4. Thanks.

Hi misterbill1717,
Using Windows 7, 64-bit and Acrobat 7 will result in problematic performance of Acrobat 7.
Acrobat releases prior to 9.2 are not supported by Adobe in Windows 7.
As to Acrobat 7 and 64-bit, see this TechNote:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/331/331732.html
So the fundamental issue will be Acrobat 7 in Windows 7.
As to your other concern.
It sounds like you are describing the Multiple Document Interface (MDI) available in the Adobe Reader/Acrobat 8 release(s).
As the article below (via the link) states, Single Document Interface (SDI) was the default in the Adobe Reader/Acrobat 8 release(s).
Change to MDI, with release 8, requires the user to perform the following:
Edit > Preferences > from the Categories: pane, select "Documents" > in the Open Settings pane >
select/check the first (top) entry "Show each document in its own window (requires restart)
Then "OK", close open appliations and restart the local machine.
Now, when one right clicks a link to access the context menu, they can "Open Link in New Window".
In release 9 of Adobe Reader/Acrobat this is no longer available. The article, at the link below, explains why.
Multiple Document Interface (MDI) was dropped in Acrobat 9. For further information check out this article.
MDI vs SDI in Acrobat
http://blogs.adobe.com/acrobat/2008/09/mdi_vs_sdi_in_acrobat.html
Also:
Preference "Show each document in its own window (requires restart)" no longer available in Acrobat/Reader 9.0

Open link in the same Window

Hello,
i want to open a link from a WDA Action Method, in order to open a bsp applikation. The new page should appear in the same window (no popup, no new window). Here the code which i have at the moment, but the BSP Applikation starts always in a new window. What can i do ?
data:
lt_parameters TYPE TIHTTPNVP,
ls_url               type string,
lo_window_manager type ref to if_wd_window_manager,
lo_api_component      type ref to if_wd_component,
lo_window                type ref to if_wd_window.
CALL METHOD cl_http_ext_webapp=>create_url_for_bsp_application
      EXPORTING
        bsp_application       = 'ZHRMPBA004'
        bsp_start_page       = 'ZHRMPBPTI006.htm'
        bsp_start_parameters = lt_parameters
      IMPORTING
        abs_url              = ls_url.
lo_api_component = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
lo_window_manager = lo_api_component->get_window_manager( ).
CALL METHOD lo_window_manager->CREATE_external_WINDOW
          EXPORTING     URL            = ls_url
         RECEIVING     WINDOW         = lo_window.
lo_window->open( ).
thanks for replays

You are calling CREATE_external_WINDOW. That API is designed to open the application in a new window. So that isn't appropriate for what you want. If you want to navigate in place then you should use an Exit Navigation Plug.

Open vi in the same window

hello,
is it possible to open an subvi in the same window like the main vi?
for example, if i open a vi by a button click the vi opens in a new window.
in some cases it will be better that the subvi is shown in an specfied area on the frontpanel of the vi.
markus

Hi Markus
Yes this is possible. Use the SubPanel-Control. To learn about it, have a look at the examples. There's a nice one (viewer.vi).
Hope this helps.

How to open BSP in the same window of WD?

Hi,
I have a WD that I would like to link to a BSP.
I added a link and put the relative path to the BSP.
Once I click on that link, the BSP is opened in a new window.
I want the BSP to open in the same window, replacing the WD.
I tried putting in the TARGET of the link: '_self', frame name and more but it does not work.
(BTW, I am trying to call SRMSUS BSP).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Itay

You need to use an Exit Navigation Plug instead:

How do I make my page links open up within the same window?

I am completely stumped. By default for some reason, every single link I have on all my pages opens up in an external window rather than within the same window. I can't find anywhere to turn this off. I have my hyperlinks open to my other pages not an external page. Please help!

Are these text based hyperlinks that you created? If so then go to the Inspector/Link/Hyperlink pane and make sure the checkbox to Open link in new window is unchecked.

Anyone know how open slideshow in the same window?

Does anyone know how to make the slideshow open in the same window as the as the site instead of a new window? I'm looking for the location and code that would make it happen on a .mac site.

Yes, of course, you can do this! You just have to know the address for the slideshow page directly....
http://web.mac.com/username/iWeb/sitename/photopagename_files/slideshow.html
username = your .Mac username
sitename = your site name
photopagename = whatever you named your photo template page
Example:
http://web.mac.com/jwtseng/iWeb/kate/art_files/slideshow.html
Once you find this URL, then all you have to do to get it to appear as part of your page is to specify an iframe tag with the URL...
<iframe src="http://web.mac.com/jwtseng/iWeb/kate/art_files/slideshow.html" width="980" height="760" scrolling="no" border="0" style="border:none;" frameborder="0"></iframe>
This is the little bit of code that you will need to insert into your iWeb pages in order to make the slideshow appear "inside" a frame on the page. Just change the underlined URL to your own slideshow URL.
To prepare the page in iWeb, you'll need to make a textbox on a page that is 980x760 in dimension (you'll need to adjust the default width of the page). Then type in some placeholder text, like "SLIDESHOWHERE". Publish the page. Then go into your iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/sitename folder and find the pagename.html file. Open it with TextEdit (make sure to tell TextEdit to "ignore rich text format"). Then find the part of the code where your placeholder text is. Replace the placeholder text with the iframes code. Then save your work.
When you check your page in Safari, you should see the slideshow appear inside the page exactly where you positioned the textbox in iWeb.

Opening Roles in the same Window?

Hi All,
I have installed ESS for a user. The particular role is displayed for the user too.
But what happens is that...whenever the user clicks on the underlying worksets, a new window is coming,
I want to get the opened in the same window......what property of the role to be changed for that.....or does it involves any change in iView or the page level?
Please share if anyone had solved the same problem.
helpful answers would be rewarded.
Regards
Arun Jacob.

Sorry, Work Protect Mode is against the User.... not the iView.
Click the personalize link (in the masthead of your portal) - > work protect mode.
1. protect unsaved data
2.choose action in popup on unsaved data
3. discard unsaved data.
you want to select 3 and restart the browser.

Hyperlink + ctrl click opens the page in new tab in my website. it should open it in the same window of my website

When i do a ctrl+hyperlink click in my website running in firefox, it opens up in a new tab, I dont want the ctrl+hyperlink click to open in new tab or new window. It should open in the same browser. (works as required in IE 7)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Ctrl+left click on a link or bookmark will open in a new tab. That is a standard Firefox keyboard shortcut. Middle-click will do the same (Middle-click = press the scroll wheel). On the following page, scroll down to "Web Navigation" or Find (Ctrl+F), enter "Ctrl+lef" (without quotation marks) in the Find box. Read the footnote 4 about how to change from background tab to foreground tab.
See: http://www.7is7.com/software/firefox/shortcuts.html
To open a link or bookmark in the currently active tab, simply click on the link or bookmark. Your current tab will be over-written with the new link or bookmark.
The following page shows the shortcuts for IE7. Click "Working with tabs". It shows Ctrl+click will "Open links in a new tab in the background" and on the next line, it shows CTRL+SHIFT+click will "Open links in a new tab in the foreground".
See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Internet-Explorer-keyboard-shortcuts#
Maybe you have installed something to change the shortcuts on your installation?

How to open links in the same window, without changing preferences?

What I want to know is if there's a way to force a click on a link to open in the current window just one time, if the page was using target=_blank or other methods to open a new tab/window.
The context menu doesn't have an option for that, was hoping for a modifier key option or something, or perhaps a plugin that would add such an option.
I know there's an advanced pref to change the behaviour of clicking on links to control new tabs, windows, etc. I don't want to change the default, I just for certain links want to prevent the new tab on a one-up basis.
(currently on Firefox 30 for Mac)

Firefox actually doesn't have any built-in preference for overriding the target attribute. If you are on a site where you know the link is coded to open in a new tab, currently, the best workarounds are:
* drag and drop the link on the address bar
* right-click > Copy Link Location and then paste in the address bar
Neither is convenient...
You might be able to find an add-on for this. For example, Tab Mix Plus, Tab Utilities, and other multi-functional tab-related extensions might have an option to force links into the same tab. In a brief search, I saw one called TargetKiller that is more focused on this but recent reviews mention conflicts with other extensions. If this is a frequent pain point, you could search further on the add-ons site.
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tab-utilities/
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/targetkiller/
Let us know the progress of your search.
Another possibility is to solicit someone to write a userscript. A userscript is a JavaScript add-on that can modify web pages, but not the user interface (for example, it cannot add a right-click context menu item). You need the Greasemonkey extension to run userscripts, and you need to evaluate them carefully because they are not formally reviewed by anyone.
You can contact userscript authors through these sites, and if someone is interested, they'll usually write the script for free and post it for everyone's benefit:

Open url in the same window.

Hello,
How can I open a new window (e.g. url to sap transaction) but in the same application window?
I am using window manager in order to open the window but is there a function for opening the window not as external window?
Thanks.

Hi,
Yes it is possible., You have to create Exit Plug to achieve this:
check this article for Ref: [Using Exit Plug in WDA|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0018077-f0c9-2b10-87af-eb9bb40776d4?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]

How Can I open Report within the same window instead of separate Window

Hi All,
I want to open report in my MDI form instead of opening it into a separate Oracle Report Navigator(i.e. Window which shows the report). How to do that? When I click the Report from Menu it should open it within the MDI Form. Any suggestion or reply would be greatly appreciated.
One more question is how can i open report with in a maximized state. Actaully, the report will be opened in the normal state. How to open in maximized state instead of normal state. Is there any property in reports to acheive this?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Gopinath Kona

hello,
reports is a separate application that is called from forms and therefore is running outside the context of the forms MDI window.
you can use the commandline parameter MAXIMIZE=YES to start the runtime in full-screen-mode.
