Can new browser tab content be cleared? i.e., recently visited, search

Is it possible to have a clear tab (nothing on it) I don't want search, history or anything!

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

I can no longer open a new browser tab by either clicking the + at the end of the last browser or by using the Ctrl key + T, how do I fix this?

I have uninstalled firefox and reinstalled firefox to try and solve this
issue, but it has not fixed the issue. To open a new tab I must right click
any current page link to get a new browser tab and then navigate to a new web address. This is a recent issue that just started happening and I can't figure out what happened or what got disabled. Please help me fix this.

Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.

Open in a New Browser Tab?

How do I open in a new browser tab (ex. IE & Firefox)? I
know how to open in a new window but cannot fins a command or code
to point to a new browser tab.

That's because it doesn't exist as far as I know. There is no
code like <a href ="xxx.com" target="_newTab">.
That is just an option the user can choose by right clicking
on a link and selecting "Open Link in a New Tab".
Just treat the content like it is opening in a new window.
You can name the new page and then focus in on it as if it is not
in a tab but a new window.

Open URL from Java in a new browser tab

Hi OTN,
Surprisingly can't find the implimintation.
In an ADF managed bean I retrieve String url. I need to open a new browser tab with this url.
Found this thread Open a url in a new window in the backing bean which shows using javascript "service.addScript(facesContext, "window.open(http://www.google.coml)");".
But in my case in doesn't work. The code is executed, but nothing happens. Maybe because the bean is called from a taskflow inline popup.
ADF 11.1.1.4
Thanks.

Well, I'm afraid that is not an option.
The goButton is in a table row. There are lots of rows so if I use EL for Destination attribute the URL would be retrieved for each of rows.
The method of URL retreiving is heavyweight operation which includes calling plsql functions, working with strings and others. So if I do it for each table row my application hungs and then I receive an exception of CPU usage.
That's why I switched to normal commandButton witch actionListener which retrieves url on click - only once. So I need to open URL from Java.

On Firefox 4, the back button does not work on a new browsing tab or window.

Ever since I installed Firefox 4, I have noticed a problem that was not present with the previous version of Firefox. Whenever I open up Firefox and enter in a new web address, I cannot use the back arrow to go back to my original homepage; the arrow is ghosted out. The same problem exists when I open up a new browsing tab. Let me explain with an example. I open up my browser, and then I open a new tab (now there are two tabs open). In the new tab I type www.espn.com. Then I click on a link on espn.com. Say then I want to go back to the espn.com homepage that I just previously visited. I can't do it by clicking the back arrow; it's ghosted out. I have to physically type the address again (www.espn.com). Why has this changed? Is there a way to fix it? Why can't I just click the back arrow to go back to the espn.com homepage that I typed in originally (or my original homepage if I opened up a new window instead of a tab)? Oddly enough, if I go one link deeper into the espn.com site, I can then go back to the immediately preceding webpage, but not all the way back to the original espn.com homepage.
I can't stand IE, but it doesn't have this problem. This problem also was not present on the old version of Firefox. I just verified this by testing the old version which I have installed on another computer.
Please advise.

Same problem here: I never had a problem with the previous versions and now I don't even get my homepage when I click Firefox. Instead, I am getting a blank screen that says "New Tab", only after I click the "Home" symbol I get my Homepage (Yahoo). The browser - back and browser forward button don't work anymore, very annoying. Normally a newer version should be an improvement but it looks like Mozilla really messed up with this "improvement". probably I am going to use Google chrome from now on.

Open Bytearray in new browser tab??

hi
I get the content of a file from the database and I want to open the content in an new browser tab.
The content will be send to the frontend as bytearray.
What kind of formats could be shown in a browser tab (e.g.: DOC, PDF, EXCEL)?
is it possible to open a new browser tap to show a bytearray file? How??
I just found only the possibility to open a pdf with e.g. a coldfusion script.
I don't use a coldfusion server or something like that.
How could I do this in PHP. I never used PHP.
thanks for any advice

Try this technique in a managed bean method that is invoked by your <af:commandLink>:
// Invoke your PL/SQL procedure
// Open the APEX site in a separate browser window
String apexUrl = ...;
ExtendedRenderKitService erks = Service.getRenderKitService(ctx, ExtendedRenderKitService.class);
String script = "window.open('" + apexUrl + "', '', 'location=0, status=0, resizable=1, scrollbars=0');";
erks.addScript(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(), script);Dimitar

Embedded hyperlink into new browser tab/window

Hi Team,
There is a requirement in my project for that, need to open embedded hyperlink into new browser tab/window, hyperlink is available in the pdf file which is open in browser (Internet Explorer).
More than 2 lakh user is using the product so, there is any way to set the hyperlink target as a _blank so that the link open in new tab/window.
Is there any adobe API is there which can support the above requirement?
Is there any other way which can fulfill the requirement?
End user is more than 2 lakh so, am not going to change the setting of Adobe reader as well as browser.
Need your help to resolve the issues.
Regards,
Rupesh

Yes, there is an API that is supposed to do this in the Web brower. Does it work? Not reliably is what I have found because different web browsers seem to interpret the way that Acrobat calls for a new window differently.
launchURL
7.0
S
Launches a URL in a browser window.
Note:    Beginning with Acrobat 8.1, File and JavaScript URLs can be executed only when operating in a privileged context, such as during a batch or console event. File and JavaScript URLs begin with the scheme names javascript or file.
Parameters
cURL
A string that specifies the URL to launch.
bNewFrame
(optional) If true, this method launches the URL in a new window of the browser application. The default is false.
Returns
The value undefined is returned on success. An exception is thrown on failure.
Example 1
    app.launchURL("http://www.example.com/", true);
Example 2
Add an online help item to the menu system. This code should be placed in a folder-level JavaScript file, or executed from the JavaScript Debugger console.
    app.addMenuItem({
        cName: "myHelp", cUser: "Online myHelp",
        cParent: "Help",
        cExec: "app.launchURL('www.example.com/myhelp.html');",

How to download blob image, inline to new browser tab or window

APEX V4.2.3
I have an interactive report with a blob download column which is set to inline. When I click on the "download" link the image appears automatically in same window as the APEX application. How do I download the image into a new browser tab? I need to squeeze 'target="_blank" ' somewhere but I don't know where as the link structure is hidden.
Here is the code for my download column in the Interactive Report.
select
decode(nvl(dbms_lob.getlength(BLOB_CONTENT),0),0,null,
'<img style="border: 4px solid #CCC; -moz-border-radius: 4px; -webkit-border-radius: 4px;" '||
'src="'||
apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P98_BLOB_CONTENT',image_id)||
'" height="100" width="100" alt="'||FILENAME||'" title="'||FILENAME||'" />')
as detail_img,
from "#OWNER#"."TIS_ATTACHMENTS"
thanks in advance
PaulP

I would suggest
SELECT ID, NAME,CASE WHEN NVL(dbms_lob.getlength(document),0) = 0
THEN NULL
ELSE CASE WHEN attach_mimetype like 'image%'
THEN '<img src="'||apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P4_DOCUMENT',id)||'" />'
ELSE
'<a target="_blank" href="'||apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P4_DOCUMENT',id)||'">Download</a>'
end
END new_img

One solution would be to generate the report via an servlet which you then call with an af:golink with an target frame set to blank.

WAD Report(Template to be opened in new browser tab)

Hi,
I have an urgent issue with WAD Report.
I have my Template with Tabstrip containing Link Item, which opens another template on click. For this I used transfer state instruction by which new template is opened in the same tab of browser,I need new template(on clicking Link Item) to be opened in new tab of browser and the old one to remain in same browser tab.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Rajeswari.

Hi
I did something similar before.
I had three tabs.
Summary Tab
Details Tab
Totals Tab.
By default when user runs the template, first tab is displayed with summary details. When user wants to drill down to the details of particular line, then user clicks on the row. When clicked on the row, details report gets generated in the second tab but user manually needs to go to second tab to see the details.
To achieve this i did the following
DP1, Analysis gird properties
"row selection"-->single with command and used SET_SELECTION_STATE_BY_BINDING.
Thanks

Cflocation problem, opening new browser tab

I have a cfform with several submit buttons. The form action is itself and depending on what submit button is pressed a different function from a cfc is invoked and then I'm trying to use cfloaction to launch a new page. When this happens it is opening a new tab in both fire fox and IE instead of opening the new location within the same browser tab. From reading the documentation for cfloaction this should not be happening and I do not want it to launch in a new window. What could be causing this to happen?

Hi John,
I agree with Adam on the <cflocation> tag. I suspect it is a browser setting.
Like in FireFox
Tools/Options/Tabs
[X] Open new windows in a new tab
Like in IE,ver7
Tools/Internet Options/General Tab/Tab Section/Settings button
then bottom section "Open links from other programs in"
[X] A new tab in the current window
Try unchecking these boxes and then try your process again. Not
saying this will correct your issue, but does seem like a browser
issue to me as well and not <cflocation>

OPENING A NEW BROWSER TAB/WINDOW WITHOUT NAVIGATING TO IT

Hello there,
I am using flex navigateToUrl( urlRequest, "_blank"); function to open a new browser window. What it does is it also navigates to newly opened window by default. I want to remain in the same page, but still open this new window without focusing it.
Is there a way to do that
Thanks.

I would update your Adobe PDF plug-in first - it is 10.1.7.x and my version says 11.3.x) To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

When I open a new tab, I used to see 9 thumbnails of my most visted sites, but now I do not (just a generic "new browser tab" page). How can I restore the thumbnail view?

I have an HP laptop, windows 7 64-bit OS. I had to open Explorer this AM to download a driver update (for audio on my computer, which instead eliminated the sound on my computer - still trying to fix that). I downloaded an update to DVDSoftVideo yesterday, which seems to sometimes change the taskbar area, even tho I always opt to not download optional toolbars (ASK toolbar for one - even tho I unchecked it, it still shows up now on the toolbar).
I don't know what is related to what.
Further, I clcked on the Firefox icon at the top left, and chose the menu view, now cannot find how to go back to the new view of just the icon.

You can look at one of these extensions:
* NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
* New Tab Homepage : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/

Can new browser tab content be cleared? i.e., recently visited, search
