  • How to pass value to pop up window using javascript function?

    I am not sure how to do this, I want to open new window from existing form,This is Mod/PLsql for consists some javascript functions also. When I am clicking on new window in form then new form should open with results of value entered,but new window form is opening with main page :( , not able to get text box value from parent form. How to call textbox input value in popup window from parent window using javascript?
    currently I'm using following code:
    HTP.p('<script type="text/javascript">
    function pop_up5()
    var l_url=window.opener.document.getElementById("p_single_store_pc").value;
    window.open(l_url, '''', ''fullscreen=no, scrollbars=1'');
    </script>' );
    Edited by: user11970612 on Jun 14, 2012 5:02 AM

    this is probably due to the Javascript code and not a "real link" to another page... I don't know if the null is due to the Javascript...
    But if you really really want to use javascript instead of a ... you can pass the location of the url with JSP (on your main page) as a parameter to the open window... (...) u can put instead of main.jsp <%= request.getServerName()+request.getRequestURI() %>
    the value <%= ... %> will return something like test.com/html/main.jsp
    Hope this helps.

  • ?? about popup window using javascript

    I am launching a popup window using the following script.
    locate.onRelease = function(){
    getURL("javascript:n_name=window.open('
    http://www.wesitename.com/webpage.cfm','name_name1','width=720,height=330,scrollbars=yes') ;void(0);");
    Right now all of my links load in the same popup window...
    but if that window isn't closed for (instance if it was minimized)
    by the user... and the user clicks another link for this popup...
    it stays behind the main page rather than coming to the front
    again..
    My question is... Is there anyway to assure that this browser
    window comes to the front when updated with a new click???
    Thank you in advance

    YOu could change the name_name1 for each link to name_2 name3
    and so on.
    By using same window name you load content into the same
    window, using new
    name makes automatically totally new request and new pop up.

  • Close external window using Button

    Hi all,
    I have implemented a Web Dynpro application which runs in a portal. It opens in a separate browser window.
    Now I have to implement a "close" functionality inside this application, which closes the window when the user clicks on a Button (or LinkToUrl -- never mind).
    What would be the best way to implement this on NetWeaver 2004s?
    Regards,
    Martin

    HI,
    You can use an external html file to close window.
    Looks like your trying to close window from that window itself.
    then create an close.html file and put it into mimes folder
    access this file
    String url = WDURLGenerator.getAbsoluteWebResourceURL(wdComponentAPI.getComponent().getDeployableObjectPart(),"close.html");
    wdThis.wdGetViewController().wdFirePlugExit(url);
    in close.html write a javascript which contains following function
    <html>
    <SCRPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'>
    function win_close()
    window.parent.opener = top;
    window.parent.close();
    window.opener.close();
    </SCRPT>
    <body onlod='javascript:win_close()'>
    </body>
    </html>

  • Open page in popup window using javascript:popupURL

    Hi, call a page in a popup window works fine using javascript:popupURL, but my question is
    Is it possible to specify height, width, pos x and y for the popup window?
    Thx in advance,

    Derlis,
    sure, but I guess you will have to write your own javascript function to do so:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function myPopupURL(url)
      w = open(url,"winLov","Scrollbars=1,left=0,top=0,resizable=1,left=0,top=0,width=500,height=200");
      if (w.opener == null) w.opener = self;
      w.focus();
    </script>
    &lt;A href=&quot;javascript:myPopupURL('http://otn.oracle.com')&quot;&gt;OTN&lt;/A&gt;Best you put the javascript into the page header or page template header.
    You could even pass the parameters with each call to the javascript function as parameters.

  • No MAIN tab to select per yout homepage directions for firefox/windows --using win7

    Your prompts to set homepage (aol) for Firefox Windows are Click Tools then select MAIN tab then HOMEPAGE etc. - No MAIN tab appears - Im using Windows 7 HP Pavilion desktop

    Where did you see the instructions that called it the Main tab? The [[How to set the home page]] article refers to it as the General tab.

  • Mac 10.7, when I close firefox window and later open firefox window it opens with blank page in English

    After closing a window with sidebar bookmarks open and later returning to firefox I have to open a new window and re-add my sidebar bookmarks

    Hi Andis.
    First of all, this is completely normal behavior, although it's a bit irritating, I know. What happens is that when you close Firefox, despite the window disappearing right there and then, Firefox keeps running for a little bit until the whole closing procedure is completed. This can take a fraction of a second on fast computers, or can take a few seconds on slow computers or when Firefox is storing a large session (if you save your tabs). All you have to do is wait a bit until Firefox closes, and then open it again.
    To see if it's still running, you can press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC and then, under the Processes tab, you can see if firefox.exe is still there. If it's taking an unusual amount of time to close (which happens very rarely, and only if the browser freezes on exit), you can force the application to terminate from this application (task manager).
    Firefox 4.0 will reduce by 97% the time it takes firefox.exe to close, so this problem will be basically erased for Firefox's next version.
    Until then, I can recommend you this extension, which helps you restart your browser more easily and without bothering about closing times:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3559/
    Hopefully this will help.

  • 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 can we close the window using a button in applet?

    I have a close button in my applet which should close the browser from where the application is launched. Can somebody post a sample code for doing the same?

    I'm afraid I don't have any sample code, but I can describe a possible solution.
    1. Retrieve the JSObject via Application.[url http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/application/Application.html#getHostServices%28%29]getHostServices().[url http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/application/HostServices.html#getWebContext%28%29]getWebContext()
    2. Use the JSObject to manipulate the JavaScript into closing the Window.

    if you want to limit yourself to IE, you go look at
    the IE JS documentation at
    msdn.microsoft.com/library
    if you don't want to limit yourself to IE, you don't.Here's the first line:
    Here's a window named javascript_1.
    When you click on this link, a new window called javascript_1 gets opened and the HTML page javascript_window_1.html gets put into the window. Because the features parameter is optional, you can just leave it out. This will give you the default window you would have gotten if you'd used a targeted href, as in the previous page.
    Notice that I put the call to open the window in an onClick. You don't have to put window.open() calls inside an onClick, it was just convenient to do so in this example. You'll see examples of window.open() inside <script> tags soon.
    The second link is almost exactly like the first link. It just opens a window with a different name and loads in a different HTML page:
    Here's a window named javascript_2.
    The third link sticks a new HTML page into the first window. This works because the third link opens a window with the same name as the first window: javascript_1.
    Here's another HTML page going into javascript_1.
