Drop Down Menu - 3rd Level iView open in new external Window with parameter

Hello Community,
we have the following problem: We have created some drop down menu for the portal navigation. Some iViews we are going to open in new Window. Therefore the iViews are getting some parameters like: menubar=no, toolbar=no, resizable=yes, status yes....and so one....And also the iView has fixed height and width.
Now when we are going to open the iview in the second level position, everything is working fine and the window functions are also used.
When we change the position of the iview from an second level position to an third level position, and we want to open the iview from the drop down menu, the window functions and the size is not used.
Can some one help? I have attached the JSP Code:

  • Font drop down menu won't stay open in Photoshop Elements 8

    I have Photoshop Elements 8. Up until today it worked just fine. I have been trying to change the font type using the drop down menu of course. Every time I click on the drop down menu it tries to open, but will not stay open to make the change. The menu just flickers in the attempt to open it up.
    I have reset the tool, deleted any preferences at start up using the Ctrl+Alt+sSiht keys and no help.
    I am using a Windows 7 64bit system. Like I said, this hasn’t happen before. Now that I think about it, sometimes when a menu box is open it will disappear behind the main window and I need to find it again by toggling the window, this will make the change menu to reappear. But still no font drop down menu.
    Anybody have any help?

    If photodrawken's suggestion doesn't make any difference, which was my first thought on the problem, here are a couple of other suggestions.
    You might have a bad font. Have you installed any fonts or programs that might have put in new fonts recently?
    In pse 8 under Edit>Preferences>Type uncheck Font Preview Size and see if that makes a difference.
    Also this lists a fix for missing scroll bars in pse 8 and even though that's not your exact problem it would be worth a try:

    Do you have any third party plugins installed for pse8?

  • Webdynpro application can't display a URL iView in a new External window

    Fellow developer:
    In my WD4A application, I called the method 'navigate_absolute' to display a URL iView in a new External window.
    The code is as follows:
    data lo_portal_manager type ref to if_wd_portal_integration.
    call method lo_portal_manager->navigate_absolute
    exporting
      navigation_target = 'ROLES://u2026'
      navigation_mode = '1'.            ('0' - Displayed in the Same Window, " '1' - Displayed in a new External Window)
    The application can display the iView in the same Window (navigation_mode = '0'), but cannot in a new External window (navigation_mode = '1').
    In the iView properties, the following attributes are set to:
    1. Launch in New Window - Dipslay in Separate Window
    2. Open iView Links in New Window - Yes
    If you know the answer, please advise.
    Thanks

  • Opening/focusing new/existing window with refreshed data

    hi ,
    I want to open the results in a new browser window with current requested data as soon as I click on a button from a jsp.I mean as soon as I click on a button if the new window is already opened then the opened window should be get focused with refreshed current data, if the new browser window is not already opened then clicking on button from jsp should open a new window with refreshed data.
    Following both ways are not working proper, could you tell me whts wrong with it..?
    javascript functions:
    function winOpen(statusVal)
    var resultsUrl = "http://.........";
    var fullURL= resultsUrl+"Status="+statusVal;
    var lastOpened = null
         if ( lastOpened != null ) {
              lastOpened.close();
              lastOpened = null;
    lastOpened =window.open(fullURL, null)
    lastOpened.focus();
    with this code new window is opening but if I minimize that new window and if I click on a button jsp with new querry values, the same opened window is getting focused but not with new results in that window. I.e results in window are not getting refreshed ....
    2.
    with the following code every time it opens the new new windows( irrespective of already opened window) with new requested data.
    function winOpen(statusVal)
    var resultsUrl = "http://.........";
    Openedwindow=window.open(resultsUrl+"Status="+statusVal;
    Openedwindow.focus();

    Can u let me know how you solved this.
    Thanks in advance

  • In navigation bar the drop down menu is not holding open when trying to select item - ONLY in Firefox.

    When trying to select item from any drop down in navigation bar the menu shrinks. I seem to not be able to navigate further than 1st item on the drop down list.
    However, it seems to be working in other browsers but not in Firefox.
    The website affected by this behavior is in the following link: http://www.coubroughandco.com
    I am wondering what could possibly be the cause of it.

    Hello,
    I get the same issue. To make sure we are talking about the same thing I have uploaded a screenshot. See below.
    When I hover over 'Buying' the menu pops up. I then move my mouse down over 'Your Budget' nothing happens. I then move the mouse down again over 'Leasehold or Freehold?' the menu disappears. It is not possible to click on the 'Leasehold or Freehold?' link.
    I don't believe Firefox is at fault here. I think the website has not been properly tested to work with Firefox. I am not an expert in web design but other forum contributors here will be able to identify the piece of code in the site that is causing the problem.
    I think the best thing you can do is to make contact with the business to let them know that their website navigation doesn't work for Firefox users.
    I hope that helps.

  • How to make applescript open a new safari window with a specific name?

    tell application "Safari"
      activate
      make new document at end of every document with properties {name:"MY-NAME", URL:"http://www.google.com"}
    end tell
    Run this script and see if you can figure out why the NAME of the window is still "Google".
    The dictionary  shows several different NAMEs for windows, documents and tabs and only tabs are R/O.
    This doesn't do anything either:
    tell application "Safari"
      activate
      make new document at end of every document with properties {name:"MY-NAME", URL:"http://www.google.com"}
      set the name of window 1 to "TEST"
    end tell

    The title of the window is provided by the page source.
    You can override it (once loaded) with, e.g,
         do javascript "document.title='MY-NAME'" in document 1
    If you had a blank Safari page (i.e. not Top Sites which does contain source data), you should be able to change the window title with
         set name of document 1 to "MY-NAME"

  • Can I change the order of lines in a drop-down menu?

    Can I change the order of items on a drop-down menu? Specifically, the "open" menu that comes up when I right-click on a link.
    Putting "open in new tab" on top of "in new window" makes sense, of course, since it is used more often. But I do a lot of surfing, and had the old position in muscle memory. Re-training my brain to click on the first line instead of the second is taking a long time, and makes me grumbly.
    I'd love to put it back to the old order. Can I? and, if so, how do I do it? (Please give me detailed instructions, IOW, please assume I am a complete simpleton, because sometimes I am.)
    HP G62 w/ Win 7 home premium. If it matters, it's 64-bit.
    And my old desktop, which has, yech, Vista. (I haven't upgraded it to F4 yet.)
    Thanks,
    Roo

    Where is that drop-down list, on a webpage?
    Please provide a screenshot of that issue. <br />
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem <br />
    It is best to use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed a maximum file size of 1 MB.
    Then use the '''Browse ....''' button below the '''''Post a Reply''''' text box to upload the screenshot.

  • Filter query based on a value from a drop down menu

    I am using ADFBC/JDev 10.1.3/ADF-faces (JSPX)
    I would like to display a table of data based on a view object and have a drop down menu of values that the user can select from which would filter the table of data. The filter would be applied to a field in the VO. For example, have a JSPX page that shows all employees and have a drop down menu that filters the employees by a specific department with an option to show all departments too in the drop down. I'm not sure if Steve Muench's example #76 (http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2004/09/23/notYetDocumentedAdfSampleApplications.html) would serve as a basis for this requirement or not.
    Can anybody give me high level guidance on how to do this? Both declaratively and programmatically would be great.
    Thanks,
    Quoc

    I can't get the JSPX page to display the correct data. It's displaying the entire VO and when you try to select Yes or No or All from the drop down menu, it just changes the Active Flag column in the table to whatever you select for the first row only and still displays the rest of the rows in the VO.

  • Responsive Drop Down Menu Issues

    I'm having a few issues with my responsive drop down menu.  I'm trying to make one row with 2 separate menus that show up next to each other.  The left side is general a menu and the right side is social media links.  I have them functioning with 2 major issues.  First, I can't seem to get my background (black) go across the entire page.  It stops between the 2 menus.  Second, When I shrink down to a phone size browser and replace the menu with a drop down menu, my images (I'm using images instead of text so that I can use a specific font) expand to fit the space.  I want them all to show up as the proper size and want the drop down menu to be right next to the social media links.  Here's a link to the page so you can see what I am talking about.  My HTML and CSS are below.  Thanks.

  • Drop down menu is a small square and no tab display.

    Hey, my tab display is gone, my drop down menu's won't open, such as file, edit, view, history etc.
    I have no idea what's going on, I don't want to lose my bookmarks and I can't import them into IE atm.
    Any help would be great, if I have to re-install is there a manual way to get bookmarks without going into the menu bookmarks and manage/export?
    Thanks.

    I have the same trouble with Firefox v.24.0 It occurs on Windows XP, Windows 7 Pro, and Windows 7 Enterprise.
    @foodie2 - your workaround definitely works and is far less painful than changing settings which could affect other sites. Great idea!

  • When I am using Safari, I get a drop down menu with suggestions of "move to new window", etc.  It is driving me crazy.

    When I am in Safari, many time a drop down box will appear stating, "open in new window", "move to", etc.  What is this and how can I stop it from happening?

    That sounds like a Contextual Menu, and should only appear if you right-click or ctrl-click on something.
    Does it ahppen in other applications too ?. If not, I'd start by disabling any Safari Extensions in Safari - Preferences - Extensions.

  • Can't use drop-down menu

    the OS of my laptop is windows 8. the drop-down menu does not stay open. my anti-malware program cannot open.

    '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web link}
    While you are in safe mode;
    Press the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar.
    Followed by;
    Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
    Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''
    Mac; ''application name'' '''> Preferences'''
    Then '''Advanced > General.'''
    Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
    Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?
    Then restart.

  • Mobile drop down menu won't disappear once I have clicked one of the links in the drop down to take me to an anchor further down the page. I want the drop down to disappear upon clicking and scroll at the same time.

    Basically I have a drop down menu, which i have tried to create numerous times with different widgets available in muse or as freebies on the net.
    The menu within the drop down is a manual menu and each button links to an anchor on the page, so that when clicked the page scrolls to that anchor.
    My problems is that once I have clicked one of the links to go to the anchor further down the page the drop down remains. For the purpose of User Experience and fluidity across the mobile design i would like the drop down to disappear on click of the anchor link. Is this possible?
    Many thanks,
    Lew.

    Hi Brad,
    At the moment I have used an downloaded widget which utilises the acordian style to create the drop down. Here is a link to the Mobile version of the site - http://www.brainstormdesign.co.uk/phone/index.html
    Many thanks,
    Lew.

  • Drop down menu's are not working on my new version of photoshop cc?

    How do I make all tools available please, none of the drop down menu's are working on my new photoshop cc?
    Could someone tell me how to make tools like the polygonal lasso tool work please. Normally they show up when you click on the small triangle next to the main tool to select the other simillar tools...
    Thank you

    You get to the polygonal lasso tool by click and hold a second or two on the lasso tool, this will bring up the flyout menu. If that does not work then right clicking should.

  • 'Weird' Terminology: rigs, snapshots and checkboxes/My odyssey, to create a simple drop-down menu ;)

    The Preface
    I'm a hobbyist! "Daddy does movies", enthusiastic about the -zillions of features, tools like FCPX and Motion5 offer! I'm no designer, no engineer, no 'pro'. My goals are sky-high, results more down-to-earth
    This is no request for help, just to share my … quest for a 'simple' effect. Or feature… Or box.-
    In hope, it helps YOU to solve your problems…
    The Issue
    Simple: I wanted to create my very own 'title' template for FCPX. Concept: a lil' animation, the two teams logos reveal a lower third, showing the actual score. Plus, an insert showing the scorer (=my kids love to see themselve in such 'sports graphics' )
    Usually, I 'manufacture' such graphics as single Motion-Projects. This time, my goal was a template, my kids slaughtered in the first season's game the other team by 11:1 (which is in soccer…  a goal-fest) To 'built' each Title manually as individual Projects would spend too much time. I needed a template! … so, step #1: using a Dropzone for opponents logo - easy. Animating - been there, done that, easy.-
    But that 'show players face&name' … 18 team-members… wouldn't it be nice to have some 'drop down menu'?
    How to accomplish that?
    The Manual, with all respect, is written for experts. Describing ALL options in one sentence. I need a cookbook, step-by-step-instruction … My preferred source of imagination, MacBreakStudio/rippletraining/Mark Spencer, hasn't done a tutorial for 'drop downs' yet.-
    My guts told me, it has something to do with 'rigs' …
    The Rig
    I dragged my folder with player-pics into my Motion5 project; there, I could check/uncheck each player. But I wanted these 'boxes' avail in FCPX, I wanted to 'publish' this check-list. Trying 'tis&'tat, I noticed, I can apply to the opacity of each player-pic a Rig. And a Checkbox-rig - hey, that close!!
    … soooo?
    No 'checkbox' in FCPX after publishing my title. No list after publishing to FCPX! What have I done wrong?
    The Snapshots
    I was confused by the meaning of  'snapshot'! … and since it made "ping!" in my head, it's so simple:
    As I would done it in a 'manufactured', single Motion project, I have to select each team-member, create a New Snapshot, set opacity to show only this player; create another New Snapshot, showing a diff. player. … and so on, and so on.
    … for sure, for convenience I renamed each Snapshot to each Player's name…
    In my amateurish mind, I had the imagination, Motion5 would offer me a 'behavior' (or 'filter' or whatever) to create checkboxes; or drop-downs; … uhm, well it does, but for me the work-flow is back-to-front: first creating a status-quo, then tell 'this is option#1/#2/#3' … I had the idea, you can select first an 'empty box', then drag its content into it. I've learned: professional don't tic this way.
    Eighteen Snapshots later …
    The Result
    After publishing my hand-crafted Title, it appears like that in FCPX:
    The Dropzone is to apply the actual contestants team-logo; the 'Title' is the score, just type the number; and - finally! - I had my drop-down-menu, listing all players,  for simple selection.- Me happy … !
    In movin' images:
    http://youtu.be/wIeu1cVMu94
    As mentioned before: the design isn't meant to win a price; and most probably, there are 'shorter ways to Rome' … so, if any of you 'pros' like to comment or recomment a 'better', in terms of 'easier' way, don't hesitate to teach me!

    Motion-guru Marc Spencer from rippletraining.com has an episode upon Rigging at MacBreak Studio
    MacBreak Studio - Episode 151: Setting up a Rig in Motion 5 for Final Cut Pro X    
    … I'm no expert (as you notice in my first post ), but I'm really overwhelmed by the endless options, esp. in correlation with FCPX… on first sight, 'rigging' looked like 'bundled color sliders' to me, but by creating your very own drop-down menus you can create extremely powerful tools, handcrafted for your very own needs.
    For sport-reports, with its tons of statistics and inserts, you can create a box of 'title genrators' - once done, multiple times used, and extreeeemly fast then.
    … And when a 'nnob' like me manages it, it is really no rocket-science…
    Kudos to the DevTeam at Cupertino!!!
