Default size of new browser window launched from community links portlet

Does anyone know of a way to control the size of the new browser window that is launched when the user clicks a link in a Community Links portlet (or any other links that launch a new browser window)?
We default all users to open links in a new browser window and I can't seem to find any rhyme or reason to how it sizes the resulting window. Some community links come out really skinny and un-user friendly, while others are nicely sized to near full screen.
Is there some way to control this?
Thank you.
Darla

Darla,
Which version of the portal are you guys running? We are currently using 6.5 and all the links/Documents/ExternalLinks/Pages open up in a new browser window with the same sizes.
Its basically controlled by javascript.

Controlling the appearance of a new browser window coming from a weblink

Hello all,
I have a weblink. When the end user clicks on the web link a new browser window opens up.
I would like to be able to control the appearance of the new browser window. I want to be able to hide url address bar, tool bar and all menus.
Is there a way to do this by editing the weblink in CRM OnDemand ?
Thanks,
Trish.

Trish, if it is possible it would need to be in the URL and I think you'll need to do a google search to find out how you pass IE attributes into a URL.

Can I size a pop-up window called from a link from "_blank" in Target Frame

I would like to size the window smaller then what the default is set to when calling a pop-up window via a link when setting the Target Frame property to _blank. Is there a way to do this so I have some control of the size of the window?
Thanks,
Chris

As far as I know it is not possible to resize the window that gets opened when target="_blank". Window can be resized only if it is opened only if it is opened using window.open

New browser window from single movie frame?

Sorry but I am a total newbie>
I have a 4 frame movie imported into one layer and want to
specify a different URL to be opened in a separate window for each
frame. So I have made each frame a keyframe and added from the
behaviors a geturl event for each frame. When this is published it
loops the movie and opens a new browser window for every frame for
every loop, resulting in dozens of browser windows. How can I make
this a mouse clickable event so only when I click on a frame will
the new browser window launch?
I am trying to use onrelease, but I am not sure how this
should work as I can't find a good example.

1) you can't 'click on a frame' in the SWF file when it's
running, you must click on a 'button' or 'movieclip' instance the
you construct ON a particular frame, or all in the same frame with
different buttons on theStage.
2) you need to add a 'stop()' action to your actions layer to
stop the SWF from 'playing' which is why it continues to open more
windows, MovieClip timelines play and loop by default.
3) more information that you will ever need is located in the
Flash Help files(F1) along with many tutorials to learn the basic
concepts, open them and go to 'Getting Started in Flash' to learn
some basics.

Opening a servlet in new browser window

Does anyone know how you can make a servlet open in a a new browser window when clicking a link for that servlet.
cheers

Hi..
do
window.open("http://localhost:8080//yourservlet-path//servlet-name");
you can also set window properties, they are passed as parameters to window.open
see syntax of window.open. but this thing will open your servlet in a new window with default properties.

New browser window from CRM Web UI causes problems

Hi Experts,
We have several links to internal web sites that CRM users can access from the web UI. Problem is, whenever one of these links are selected, the user looses whatever it was they were doing in CRM and the main window displays the following message:
The object you have selected is starting in a new browser window. You can continue working normally in the current application. However, you may have to navigate back to the page you were working on.
Anyway to prevent this from happening? Would very much appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Stephen Brewer

Hello Brewer,
If your requirement is to open some URL say google.com etc in a now window, then there are only 2 ways
1) Use Transaction Launcher
2) Use PopUp Window.
1) If you use transaction launcher, and created the link in your direct link group then on click of the link, the URL will open in new window but you cant avaoid the message that you get in the current window. Also, if users POPUP Blocker is ON, user will never come to know why the new window has not launch.
2) This is very simple and straight forward approch for opening URL. However, POPUP windows in WEB UI are modal windows, so say on click on a button on Account Overview Screen, i open google.com in a popup then unless i close this popup , i can not work on the account overview screen . However, you can see the account overview screen as it is and you can resume back when the popup is closed. Also you can define the even handler on close event of pop up so you can pass the data to & fro between the webclient view and the pop up.
to open some extrenal URL in a PopUp , You will need to create a blank view and attach it to a window. In .htm file of the view, you can use tag IFRAME and call your external URL here.
Hope its helpful.
Thanks & Rregards
Prasad
PS : the popup blocked problem will still be there however, it flashes a message like pop up blocker is ON in case of using popup window

Opening a new browser window from flash

Does anyone know of a method fo opening a link in a new
window in firefox from within flash that isn't blocked by the popup
blocker. It seems like the security in FF 2.0.0.6 (I'm on 2.0.0.11)
has been tightened to prevent any _blank or window.open calls from
flash getting through. I've tried the standard getURL, fscommand
and ExternalInterface call to a javascript window.open method.
Nothing now works.
I understand the need for the popup blockers, but this is a
legitimate popup only invoked on user interaction (click) - the
same window.open call in an onClick event outside of flash works
fine and I guess it is blocked from within flash because there is
no way of knowing if the call is invoked from user interaction or
automatically - but seems a shame.
So any other way of getting a new browser window to open from
within flash in firefox?

Use target="_blank" in your form declaration.<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="someAction" TARGET="_blank">The _blank keyword tells the browser to load the results in a new window.
If you need more control over your window (size, address bar, etc.) you'll need to use javascript.<SCRIPT>
function submitForm(windowName){
   newWin = window.open("",windowName, "menubar=no,resizable=no,...");
   document.myForm.target = windowName;
   document.myForm.submit();
</SCRIPT>
<FORM NAME="myForm" METHOD=POST ACTION="some.jsp" TARGET="">
<INPUT TYPE=BUTTON VALUE="Submit" onclick="submitForm();">
</FORM>

New Browser Window from Hyperlinks on PDF created in In Design

I am creating PDF documents using In Design CS3. The PDFs have hyperlinks to other PDFs as well as hyperlinks to webpages. The finalized PDF is being accessed through our website as a link on the webpage. The PDF is opening in a new browser window/tab and the hyperlinks are working great. My problem is this: How do I get it so that the hyperlinks on the PDF open to a new browser window as well. Currently, when I click a link, it changes the current browser window that the PDF is in. I want to set this so that anyone, from any computer will have it so that the link opens a new window/tab.

In Adobe Acrobat (the application, not the .pdf reader) use the Link Tool to edit the hyperlinked text object. Remove the “Open a web link” action assigned by default to handle the hyperlinked text when clicked. Assign a new action to the linked text that will open the hyperlink in a new window.
Note: The links have to be established each time you create a PDF – they do not carry over from In Design or any other software.
1.     Access the Link tool (Tools > Advanced Editing > Link Tool)
2.     Right click on the hyperlinked text and select Properties
3.     In the Link Properties dialog box click on the Actions tab
4.     In the middle of the Actions panel in the Actions section click on the Open a web link action listed there to select it.
5.     Click the Delete button located just below that section in the lower right corner. This removes the action from the list and the Actions section should now be empty.
6.     In the Add an Action section right above the Actions section click on the Select Action drop down menu and select the Run a JavaScript action from the list.
7.     Click the Add… button.
8.     In the JavaScript Editor that opens up, click your cursor in the Create and Edit JavaScripts area, like you would in a word processor to begin typing, and type the following line:
app.launchURL("http://www.MySampleURL.com/someFolder/somePage.html", true);
9.     Change the hyperlink text between the quotation marks to your desired URL.
Ex: app.launchURL("http://www.cnn.com", true);
Caution:
1.     The code is case sensitive so make sure you typed app.launchURL NOT app.launchurl or some other case combination.
2.     Make sure that you have quotation marks around your hyperlink URL.
3.     Make sure there is a semicolon at the end of the line of code you just typed.
4.     Make sure that the quotation marks are straight up and down – not on an angle.
10. Click OK to close the JavaScript Editor dialog box.
11. Click OK to close the Link Properties dialog box.
12. Save the .pdf and test your .pdf hyperlink by opening the .pdf document in a browser, click the link and check to see that it opens in a new browser window.

How to open a new browser window without toolbar, location, and menu bars from AIR?

I have the following problem in my Flex+AIR application. I need to embed an ActiveX component that has JavaScript API inside my application. I tried to embed it inside <mx:HTML> component but unfortunately, AIR doesnot support plug-ins or ActiveX controls. So I've decided to open it in a new browser window. I tried navigateToURL(...) method but it has two problems - it is opening a new tab in the existing browser window and there is no way for me to configure the new browser window appearance, like removing toolbar, menu bar, location bar, etc. Then I tried to open a new window from JavaScript running inside <mx:HTML> component using window.open(...) API but it doesn't open a new window at all.
Is there any way for me to open a new browser window without toolbar, location bar, etc. (which will run ActiveX control, so it cannot be AIR window) from inside AIR?
Best regards,
Arkady.

Conditionally opening a new browser window from a JSP page

When the user clicks on a button in my JSP page, I'd like to launch a new browser and display certain things in that browser window while leaving the original browser window open. The new browser should only be displayed if certain conditions are met.
My thought was to invoke a javascript method in 'onLoad' which would determine if the new window needs to be launched.
This is kinda what my page looks like:
<jsp:root version="1.2" ................>
    <jsp:directive.page import="java.util.*, com.test.Configuration" contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"/>
    <f:view>
     <ui:body binding="#{Page1.body1}" id="body1" onLoad="launchWindow();">
     </ui:body>
   </f:view>
   <script type="text/javascript">
        function launchWindow(){
         if (Configuration.openWindow()) {
          window.open("hello.jsp", "newWindow", 'toolbar,width=400,height=400');
    </script>
</jsp:root>
My problem is that the call to "Configuration.openWindow()" does not resolve correctly. If I remove that call and simply make a call to "window.open()" all works. But once I put the condition in, nothing happens. I do not see an exception in my browser window but a new browser window does not open.
Is my syntax correct. Can I make a call to the static method 'openWindow()' in my class 'Configuration.java'.
I posted this same query on the JSF forum but received now replies. My question is more suited to the JSP forum and hence I'm posting this question here.
thanks,
tsc

I have made some changes so that I do not directly access the 'Configuration' class in my javascript.
I have a hidden field on my form and when the user clicks the button, in my back bean, I set a value for the hidden field. In the javascript function 'launchWindow()' I check if a value has been set for the hidden field and if yes, I open a new window.
<ui:body binding="#{Page1.body1}" id="body1" onLoad="launchWindow(document.forms[0]);">
<h:inputText id="hiddenField" value="#{formBean.hiddenValue}" />
<script type="text/javascript">
        function launchWindow(form){
            alert("in lw");
            var test = form["form1:hiddenField"].value;
            alert("got test");
            if (test != "")
                window.open("hello.jsp", "newWindow", 'toolbar,width=400,height=400');
            alert ("done test");
</script>When my page is first loaded, the launchWindow() is called and all the alerts popup as expected.
When I click on the button (the back bean sets the value on the hidden field), my page is reloaded but this time its blank.
Any ideas as to why this maybe the case?
thanks,
tsc

Disable menubar and location from popup dialog in new browser window

How to hide the toolbar, menubar, location and status for the popup window (not inline, but new browser window style) using ADF 11g?
Just like HTML javascript:
window.open ('page.jsp', 'newwindow', 'height=100, width=400, top=0, left=0, toolbar=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no,location=no, status=no')In ADF 11g, I have a jspx refered by a taskflow action with "dialog:" prefix, and I call it from a button like this:
<af:commandToolbarButton text="Add"
id="ctbAdd"
action="dialog:create"
useWindow="true"
windowEmbedStyle="window"
windowModalityType="applicationModal"
windowHeight="400"
windowWidth="600"
/>How to control the toolbar, menubar, location and status for the popup window?
Thanks in advanced,
Samson Fu

I tried it but not success. My code as below:
    public void handleAddLaunch(LaunchEvent launchEvent) {
        launchEvent.getWindowProperties().put("toolbar", "no");
        launchEvent.getWindowProperties().put("menubar", "no");
        launchEvent.getWindowProperties().put("scrollbars", "no");
        launchEvent.getWindowProperties().put("resizable", "no");
        launchEvent.getWindowProperties().put("location", "no");
        launchEvent.getWindowProperties().put("status", "no");The popup windows contains all the toolbar, menubar, location...
Is there any example or reference for the keys and values for getWindowProperties()?

How to open a new browser window from a JSP page?

Hi,
I am picking up records from the database and displaying each record in a seperate text area field using the JSP code. I should be able to display the content ( available in the text area) in a seperate window if the user clicks on one icon.
Is it possible to open a new browser window using JSP? If yes, how can I write information on the new browser window?
Thanks in advance.

Load balancing 10g forms - Connection from new browser window not supported

Load balancing 10g forms - Connection from new browser window not supported
We're experimenting with using webcache to load balance between multiple applications servers running OC4J forms processes.
We currently have one machine with infrastructure and mid-tier (BI & Forms) installed, which is being used for the webcache functionality, this is load balancing between 2 other servers each of which just have the mid-tier (BI & Forms) installation
In order to get this to work, I had to follow the instructions in the Forms deployment guide : http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_11/web.1012/b14032/tuning.htm#sthref707
The main gist of this is that you need to set the following in the orion-web.xml file in order that the sessions are maintained:
<session-tracking
cookies="enabled">
</session-tracking>
This all works fine in most cases.
The problem I am having is if I do one of the following on the client machine:
1) From IE6 / IE7 run a copy of a forms application. Then open a new window using the "New Window" menu option, and attempt to run another forms application.
2) In IE7 or Firefox 2.0 open a copy of the forms application, and then open a new tab and try and open another forms application.
If I try either of these I get a FRM-92101 error, and the following is displayed in the java console:
oracle.forms.net.ConnectionException: Connection from new browser window not supported
From trawling various forums (including metalink and otn) it looks like a problem with the way coockies are handled.
Unfortunately the usual workaround is to ensure that the session tracking option in the orion-web.xml file is disabled.
The problem is that I need this enabled in order for the load balancing to work.
Does anyone know of any other workarounds or patches that might help resolve this?
We're using Application server 10.1.2.0.2 running on windows 2003 servers.

You were right. Carriage returns were stopping it from working (the document is laid out over separate lines, so I assumed it would make no difference...).
I've now managed to get it so the forms at least run, but they are all being run in the forms OC4J instance on the same machine as the OHS.
Has anyone actually managed to get this to work, or am I doing something wrong?
I did wonder if using an OHS instance on a machine with no forms installation would make any difference?
I had raised a support call via metalink on this subject, but they eventually came to the conclusion that the only way to do this is with a hardware load balancer (Despite several documents suggesting that webcache is the way to go (including the forms deployment manual)).
I'm at the point now of giving up and writing some custom scripts to do the job instead...

Opening of an ADF applcn in a new browser window from another ADF applcn.

The requirement is in the form of a usecase below, can you please let us know how could we resolve this.
Let us consider we have two ADF applications A and B. Once ADF application A is rendered, in one of the pages of Application A there is a link which takes us to Application B. We want to open the ADF application B in a new browser window.
There is one more restriction here, the first time the link in Application A is clicked it should bring up the Appliciation B in a new window say W2 , later on if the person clicks multiple links from Application A it should refresh the exisiting open window W2 with the Application B. i.e we do not want multiple windows to come up for a single link.
I do see the commandlink has a usewindow=true ,this is the functionality we want. basically the first time the link is clicked a new window should pop up, later on every click of the command link we want to refresh the same open window which had come up the first time the command link was clicked.
Edited by: user504058 on Nov 9, 2010 6:05 AM

I did try using the Golink with targetFrame with all the values "_blank", "_parent", "_self" , "_top". with targetFrame value set as _blank it brings up multiple windows.
Let me be more clearer, I do have application A in browser window say W1 and when i click a link from Application A present in browser window W1 the Application B should open up in new browser Window W2. And further on simaltaneous clicks on the link in Application1 should only refresh the Window2 with Application B.
i.e, at any given time i want only two windows to be present i.e, W1 and W2.

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.
