Close browser window on click - pass parameter

Hi,
I have two applications (iViews) in the portal, one passing parameter to the other. On click of 1st iView, it passes parameters to 2nd iView, which opens as a separate window in portal. I need to select some values in it and on clicking OK, some parameters should be passed to the 1st IView and the window must be closed. The parameter must be made available in the 1st Iview, by autorefreshing.

Getting hang/crash problem when I try to close browser window from applet

I have a small Apllet that has a button that calls a Javascript function in the opening window, to close the window in which it is loaded.
The Applet window is a PopUp window from one of my application's window. First time I start my application and load that Applet the button works fine. It calls the Javascript method and the Method closes the window using the self.close() method.
But now if I open the applet window again and click on the button to close the windows, it hangs. I put in trace statements and saw that it hangs on JSObject.getWindow() window.
I am using JDK Plugin 1.4.2_07 and 5.0 , if I work out on IE browser, it works fine.But when I use firefox or mozilla it gives problem of hanging/crashing.
Note that in case of 1.4.2_07 this problem experienced some times but in case of 5.0 it gives always for other than IE browser.
Please, if somebody could give me some clue about why this would happen, I will really appreciate that. and code related to this is given below
import javax.swing.JApplet;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import netscape.javascript.JSObject;
public class TestApplet extends JApplet implements ActionListener{
protected JButton closeButton = null;
protected JSObject win = null;
private JFrame frame = null;
private boolean alreadyClosed = false;
public void init(){
this.win = JSObject.getWindow(this);
this.closeButton = new JButton("Close Browser Window");
this.add(this.closeButton);
this.closeButton.addActionListener(this);
frame = new JFrame("Test Frame");
frame.setSize(300, 400);
frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
System.out.println("windowClosing");
alreadyClosed = true;
TestApplet.this.stop();
frame.show();
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
stop();
public void stop() {
if (!alreadyClosed) {
alreadyClosed = true;
frame.dispose();
closeLaunchedBrowser();
System.gc();
System.runFinalization();
private void closeLaunchedBrowser() {
final TestApplet thisObject = this;
Runnable r = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
JSObject win = (JSObject)JSObject.getWindow(thisObject);
if (win != null && win.toString() != null) {
//win.eval("top.opener=self;self.close();");
//win.call("close", null);
win.eval("self.close();");
} catch (Exception e) {
Thread t = new Thread(r);
t.start();
Thanks.

I am waiting for any reply. I have tried for all these below options still I am getting Problem. I heard this is because of javascript, it wont call methods more times .Thats
why I need other than JSObject or java script solution.If some one know anything about this or any modifications I have to made for the below options to avoid that problem please let me know.
// URL durl = new URL(thisObject.getCodeBase(), "test/CloseMe.htm");
// System.out.println("URL :" + durl.toString());
// thisObject.getAppletContext().showDocument(durl);
// thisObject.getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL("javascript:window.close();"), "_self");
//win.eval("top.opener=self;top.close();");
//win.call("close", null);
//Object[] args = { "close", new Integer(50) };
// win.call("setTimeout", args);
//win.eval("setTimeout("close", new Integer(50));");
If it is the problem of JRE I just need it should work on 1.4.2_01 or higher.
thanks.

Close browser window using FPM

Hi all,
My requirement is to close the browser window on click of a button in the webdynpro component.
I have triggered FPM event gc_event_close in after action of that view.
The window gets closed perfectly if I execute the application from SE80.
But the window is not getting closed when I run the application from portal, instead I get a message saying' The application is closed, you can now close the window'
Any pointers on closing the browser window when the application is run from portal would be of great help.
Thanks in advance.
Veda

I can confirm this behavior. You can change this behavior by adding code in process_event method.
1. Fire a portal event with
"urn:com.sapportals:navigation", "CloseWindow", ""
OR
1. Fire a Exit plug with close_window = abap_true

How to close browser window after user log out

Hi,
Does anyone know how I can close browser window after user logs out. The scenario is when user clicks a log out button I will invalidate user session and close the browser right away in the backing bean.
Your help would be appreciated.

Try run this and you'll see that it runs fine with no exceptions:
<%
     String someText = "bla bla bla";
     response.setContentType("text/plain");
     response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=message.txt");
     try {
          ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
          os.write(someText.getBytes());
          os.flush();
          os.close();
     } catch (Exception e) {
          out.println("ERROR: " + e);
%>It looks like that after I've closed the outputStream I can't do any more processing in the JSP. Even if I remove the setContentType and setHeader methods it still behaves this way.
I'm starting to think that there's no way around this...??

Close dialog window by clicking on 'X'

Hi
I am displaying a dialog window that allows the user to modify data.
When the user clicks on the 'Cancel' button I have placed on the window, the action code fires and the return listener fires.
I have added some java script that executes the following command when the user closes the dialog by clicking on the close icon.
submitForm("groupCaptureForm",0,{source:"cancelGroup"});
Basically simulating a click on the 'Cancel' button.
For some reason when the user closes the window by clicking on the close icon, the action code fires, but the return listener code never fires.
Any idea why?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Express install always asks user to close browser window

Is Adobe in charge of the code that closes browser windows at
the end of express install?
I'm currently using SWFobject 1.5 to embed my flash movie
with express install active and neither IE6, IE7 or firefox will
automatically close once express install has finished. It used to
be that IE would close and reopen the window, firefox never used to
but that's a different topic I'm sure.
Perhaps Adobe changed something?

Never mind, found the answer here:

Opening New Browser window for click event on an image

hi all,
I want someone to help me out solving the problem of opening
a new browser window on the mouse click event of an image or a
button etc.... The new window would contain the datagrid details
from the main window, but in an expanded form. If at all there is a
solution, I even want to know whether there is anyway for sizing
the poped up window,because I dont want the new poped up window to
cover the entire screen.
For getting better idea of my problem, the best example I
could give is the popup window that appears when we click on the
preview button while posting the message to the forum.
Someone please do help me out in this regard.
Thanks,
amar.

I'd definitely try to use a Flex popup... but the
flash.net.navigateToURL method is a simple way to open a popup
window in a new browser. You can pass any data needed by the new
page using the URLRequest and/or URLVariables. The URL you navigate
to could, of course, be another Flex application if necessary. I
use this only when I need to open a popup window on another site,
or an HTML formatter report or something similar.
Concerning yourself with the size of the popup window may be
a bad design choice also. I, for example, have my browser
configured to open all popups in a new tab regardless of sizing
constraints imposed by the designer. If it is absolutely necessary
for you to have control over the size of your popup window, you
should follow the advice given by others and use a Flex
popup.

Webdynpro for ABAP not closing browser window after click Exit

Hi Experts,
We come across a minor problem when executing a Webdynpro for ABAP on our Production Portal.
We have a "Exit" button which suppose to close the browser window with the webdynpro codes called but it failed to do so.
The execution steps of the Webdynpro app:
     Click "Exit"
     Click "No"
     Results message in the browser:
The code we use to exit and close the Web Dynpro application
* Code to close the application when the WebDynpro is executed
* as an independent application
* Also requires an Outbound Plug (GO_EXIT) in the main Window
data : lr_ref      type ref to ig_main_window.
lr_ref = wd_this->get_main_window_ctr( ).
lr_ref->fire_go_exit_plg( close_window = abap_true ).
What would be the issue causing this, the Webdynpro codes or Portal config?
Our systems are SAP NW 7.31 with:
ECC6 (Basis 731 SP10)
Portal (Basis 1000.7.31.7.0.20130227234100)
Thank you for your help & advise.
Derek Phung

Hi Tashi,
Thank you for your quick response & help.
According to your more info link, the check will return ABAP_TRUE as the webdynpro app is ran on Portal.
Sorry i should have mention that I got it working on our Dev & Test portal but now forgotten how i have done it, we now need it config for our production portal. I have vague memory collection that i config it somewhere on the portal, maybe one of the Application Modules in NWA?
Any advise, help, hints would be very much appreciated.
Thank You & regards,
Derek

How to close browser window after flushing a file to the browser?

I have this simple JSP, which flushes a String to the browser as a file (message.txt). The JSP gets opened in a new window when the user clicks a link.
The problem is that after the JSP has run, the browser window won't close automatically. I've tried adding a small javascript to achieve this, but i doesn't seem to even get run.
How can I close the browser window after the JSP has run?
<%
     String someText = "bla bla bla";
     // Flush to browser
     response.setContentType("text/plain");
     response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=message.txt");
     try {
          ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
          os.write(someText.getBytes());
          os.flush();
          os.close();
     } catch (IOException e) {
          return;
     } catch (Exception e) {
          return;
%>
<script type="text/javascript">
     window.close();
</script>After the JSP has run, an empty html page with the following source can be seen:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

Try run this and you'll see that it runs fine with no exceptions:
<%
     String someText = "bla bla bla";
     response.setContentType("text/plain");
     response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=message.txt");
     try {
          ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
          os.write(someText.getBytes());
          os.flush();
          os.close();
     } catch (Exception e) {
          out.println("ERROR: " + e);
%>It looks like that after I've closed the outputStream I can't do any more processing in the JSP. Even if I remove the setContentType and setHeader methods it still behaves this way.

Close browser window from webdynpro

Hi
Is it possible to close a brower window on click of a button in webdynpro
Thanks
Murali

launch an asp page to accomplish a task.You can use the URL object in Java, this will make the http request to the asp page sharing the browser's cookie (in IE and Moz on windows).
If the applet needs to make a connection to antother server than the one the applet came from you might be in trouble. You have to sign the applet or the user needs to set up a policy for it.
Signing your applet:

Can't find a java script that will close browser window

I went through the archives and found several java scripts
for closing browser windows. Unfortunately none of the work. If I
find one that will work on a Mac - Safari then it won't work on a
PC - IE. I downloaded and installed that extension but cannot find
it on my Mac menus. Running MX2004 on a Mac.
Here are the codes I've tried and a example page:
<a href="#" onClick="window.close()">close
window</a>
<a href="javascript:window.close();">{YOUR TEXT
HERE}</a>
<a href="javascript:window.close()">Click here to close
this
window</a>
<a href="javascript:self.close();"> close window
</a>
Here's an example of a non working page:
[removed to protect the company]
and another script that doesn't work:
[removed to protect the company]
Thanks for all your help.

Close Browser Window with view button element when view embedded into fpm

Hi,
is it possible to build a button into a component view which is embedded into a fpm to close the browser window?
tried to build a exit plug within the view/window of my component. But nothing happened. the window stays open
Maybe is it an option to fire the fpm close plug of the fpm from my component view embedded into the fpm?
Hope you can help me.
Using the close button of the fpm is not an option because the window should automaticaly close when clicking on a button embedded into my component view.
Kind Regards
Rico

Hello,
one more question.
Is it possible to change the method. so that the fpm opens within the same browser window instead of a new one?
Maybe is there a solution with the portal?
