Creating a popup browser window from an applet

Hi, in a java applet that I am developing i use AppletContext.showDocument to load a web-page. The thing is i want this window to be a popup, devoid of toolbar and statusbar, etc. do you have any idea on how i could accomplish this?
I tried to do it with javascript, but i could only create new pop-up child windows of the html file that contained the method for opening pop-ups, i could not change the parent window itself to become a popup.
If you have any idea on how to either create a pop-up type window from an applet, or make the current window into a popup i would be grateful to hear it.

The only way I can think of is to use JSObject to call JavaScript on the current page & have JavaScript do a window.open

Closing browser window from an Applet?

I've written a series of applets that perform different functions. I placed a button on each applet with the purpose to close the window in which that applet is running. However I don't even know where to start looking to find out how to make my applet close it's own browser window. I know how to open a new browser window from an applet but not vice versa.
Can anyone help please?

Right, I sort of tracked down some code that uses getMethods to allow me to invoke a Javascript command. It is not pretty and took a little bit of editing to get to work but it does the job without putting JS stuff into my HTML.
However it is causing some problems. If I open one of my other applets it will only let me close that window and the previous applets ceases to respond at all. I think this may be because the invoke gets the JSObject which is the window and somehow having more than one applet open in different windows is causing it to get confused and is locking the first window and only responding to the second.
I have seen a much simpler method that uses:
import netscape.javascript.*;
and JSObject to get the window but my compiler complains about the import. Any further suggestions or an example would be welcome as my current solution is a bit limited as you can effectively only have one window open at a time which doesn't suit my needs.
Many thanks.

Problem in Closing Browser window from an Applet.

I have wriiten a small Applet progarm 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 and then close the frame window,it works fine that the browser window will close, when the frame window is closed.It calls the window closing event in that applet stop method is called and In stop methd a closeLaunchedBrowser method will called this has a Javascript method and the Method closes the window using the self.close() method.
But now if I continue this process of launching applet and then closing frame window, initial 1 or 2 steps it has know problem when I continue this, after 3 or 4 steps, it result in browser hang/crash.
I am using java version 1.4.2_01 or higher and IE or Firefox(any other NetScape based) browser to load applet.It works fine with IE but getting problem in case of Firefox(any other NetScape based).
The error dialog information and related event log generated is shown below :
The dialog which is displayed before crashing of firefox has information :
"firefox.exe has generated errors and it will closed by windows.you will need to restart the program.
An error log is being created."
The error log information :
Source : Browser Event ID: 8032
"The browser service has failed to retrieve the backup list too many times on transport \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{611A64A2-8F4B-409E-9AB2-0D9BF741E791}. The backup browser is stopping.
The 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 {
protected JSObject win = null;
private JFrame frame = null;
private boolean alreadyClosed = false;
public void init(){
this.win = JSObject.getWindow(this);
frame = new JFrame("Test Frame");
frame.setSize(300, 400);
frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
System.out.println("windowClosing");
TestApplet.this.stop();
frame.show();
public void stop() {
if (!alreadyClosed) {
alreadyClosed = true;
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();
}If any one know solution regarding how to aviod this crash of browser please let me know. I will be very thankful to you.
Thanks.

Is it possible to open a browser window from an applet?

Hi,
this might seem a simple beginners question to you, but to me it is more like a nightmare.
Is it possible to have a link in an Applet that opens up a new browser
window with a fixed address??
If yes, can anybody tell me how? or where can I find documentation about it?
Please help me.
Thanks.
dunja

myApplet.getAppletContext().showDocument(URL url, String target);
TARGET:
"_self" Show in the window and frame that contain the applet.
"_parent" Show in the applet's parent frame. If the applet's frame has no parent frame, acts the same as "_self".
"_top" Show in the top-level frame of the applet's window. If the applet's frame is the top-level frame, acts the same as "_self".
"_blank" Show in a new, unnamed top-level window.
name Show in the frame or window named name. If a target named name does not already exist, a new top-level window with the specified name is created, and the document is shown there.

Open pdf in popup browser window

Hello
I want to show a pdf file which is stored in a blob column in the database in a popup browser window.
I'm using apex 4.1 (soon 4.2) ans an 11gR2 database.
I searched the OTN forum and found a lot of threads about this issue but I do not see a solution that works fine for me.
Most inspiration from this post:
Show PDF ....
There is an example application from Kumar:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=52018
worspace: kumar2003
username: test_user
password: test
application: 52018
Test1 is the solution I want to create.
I tried :
Content-Disposition: inline;and that works almost fine. Only the pdf is not in a popup browser window.
Patrick Wolf suggests:
<a href="your_download_link" target="_blank">PDF</a>But I do not exactly know what he means.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards Erik

Hi,
I hope I understood your question correctly, if so my suggestion may be helpful. Otherwise I think it's nearly the same what paul writes, I only made clear my proposal in a website for you, first a photo:
and here is the link: http://www.goldschmiede-blumberg.de/pdf/adob_pdf.php.
Note 1: "Ausgabe 9" und "ein Mausklick hier genügt" are links!!
Note 2: " Um pdf-Dateien ...." Means: To read pdf files, you need the free Adobe Reader. The current version you can download from the Adobe website.
Look at it's source code.
Viel Erfolg

Open new browser window from a JApplet

Hi,
I want to open a new browser window from a JApplet.My first thought was to use the Live Connect technology but it worked only with simple applets not with JApplets.Then i tried it by getting the Applet context (getAppletContext() method) but it still didn't work with JApplet...(it worked with Applet).I believe it has something to do with the applet security but i haven't yet figured it out.
For example when i call the getAppletContext() method from a JApplet i get an java.security.AccessControlException ... .Thanks

I must correct myself now :).
The getAppletContext() method does work with JApplets too.Still , i have problems with the Live connection alternative.It seems that it by importing the netscape.javascript package i get the security eror that i mention above...

How can I open a new browser window from UIX?

I need to open a new browser window from an event handler. How that can be done? HELP!
Thanks!
Martin Patrici

HTML doesn't really let you do this on the server side; the client is in charge
of creating new windows, not the server.
If you know that clicking a certain link/button, etc. will always raise a new window,
then you should use Javascript or "targetFrame" accordingly.
If the decision will only be made on the server side, then you could reload the current
window, only this time use an "onLoad" on the <body> to raise a window.

Closing browser window from Flash movie on CD

I have to put a flash lesson I created on a cd for a client and while testing it I noticed that my exit button in the movie no longer seems to function.
This is my close window function
    function closeWindow(evt:Event)
        var url:String = "javascript:window.opener=self; window.close()";
        var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
        try
            navigateToURL(request, "_self");
        catch (e:Error)
            trace("Error occurred!");
Can anyone tell me why this wouldn't work when the movie is launched in a browser window from a CD?

Fi it is at all possible you cannot do that with url request.
Try using ExtrenalInterface class:
ExternalInterface.call("javascript:...");
It may not waork though depending on security settings and embed parameters.

Making buttons link to popup browser windows in ActionScript 3

I am trying to figure out how to make buttons on my flash
file link to URLs that appear in a window of fixed dimensions (with
scroller bars) next to my Flash window.
I am aware that Adobe has instructions for creating pop-up
browser windows through Flash (
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14192)
However, what I'm trying to do is a bit more complicated,
since I want to have multiple embedded invisible buttons in the
Flash window that each take you to a specific URL when you click on
them. Alternatively I'd be happy if any button click resulted in a
link to a random selection from a pre-programmed list of URLs.
Any suggestions? This is for ActionScript 3.

Hi Im having a simlar problem with creating a button that
opens up a url link in a blank browser window and keeping it at a
specific size. here is the code that I'm using.
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,
mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
var urlStr = "my info_page.html";
if (ExternalInterface.available) {
ExternalInterface.call( "window.open", urlStr, "_blank",
"width=400,height=400");
} else {
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(urlStr);
navigateToURL(urlRequest);
the problem is the window doesn't open when I click on the
button and I don't know how to fix this

How do I open a new browser window from Flash

I wish to open a new browser window from Flash and when the new window closes to return to the location from whence I started.
ThomasChen

The command to open a new window would be the "_blank" part of a command to link to a web page in the code below.
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.anothersite.com", "_blank"));
As far as the new window closing and getting back to where you were in the original window, I don't understand where that original window might have gone to... You should be wherever you last left it.

New browser window from uix

How can I open a new browser window from an event handler in UIX?
Thanks in advance,
Martmn Patrici

I just tried your suggestion. Unfortunately, it did not work. Here's the UIX code I used:
<tableSelection>
<singleSelection model="${bindings.MPOOrdersView1Iterator}" text="Select">
<primaryClientAction>
<firePartialAction targets="_uixState MplistsView11" source="MPOOrdersView10" event="select"/>
</primaryClientAction>
<contents>
<submitButton formName="mlrhomeform" text="Print Lists" event="print" />
<submitButton text="View Merge Reports" event="mergerpts" formName="mlrhomeform" targetFrame="_blank"/>
</contents>
</singleSelection>
</tableSelection>
The only difference from the original code is the addition of the targetFrame="_blank" in the submitButton.
It had no effect. My redirected page showed up in the same browser window. This left me with an expired page when I press the Back button on the browser.
My assumption is the response.sendRedirect() call wipes out the targetFrame setting.
Does anyone know how the browser (Internet Explorer in this case) actually gets notified to open a new window? There's got to be something that the targetFrame="_blank" sets up to cause it.
I know that Netscape supports a "Window-target:" header, but unfortunately IE doesn't. Is there some "standard" header that I can put in a response.addHeader() call that would tell all browsers to open a new window?
Of course, a UIX solution would be preferrable!
Any other ideas?

Close a browser window from a servlet

I am newbie and am trying to close the browser
window from my servlet without prompting as my
servlet is designed to run as a batch app.
The servlet is invoked by a scheduling agent and
performs the batch function , but leaves the browser
window open .I don't see the problem with that. The users can easily close the browser if they want to. It's possible that some Javascript could be used to close the browser window but it's user-unfriendly and shouldn't normally be done.

Invoke a Browser Window from any screen.

I've added my own menu after "System Help" on all screens by adding it in MENUSYST status MEN. I want to call Function Module CALL_BROWSER to start a Browser in Windows which will provide Training information for Users. I'm doing this by using 'T' type menu entries to Call a Report Transaction to call the FM but this resets the original SAP transaction (as if you'd typed /N in the OKCODE). This is possibly becuase my calling transaction is not in a new task. I can't find a suitable Exit in SMOD as an alternative.
How can I invoke a Browser Window from any screen (that a User might use) without resetting the calling transaction?
