E61 - multiple browser windows possible?

I haven't found a way to open a 2nd browser window using the built-in web browser on the E61.
Is anyone aware of a way to open a link in a new window, such that you can have 2 or more windows open simultaneously? The obvious technique of holding down the shift key while clicking on a link does not work.
It seems that some 3rd party browser apps do support this feature. But I'm hoping that its possible with the built-in browser and I've just overlooked something.

Not sure about E61 browser, but is possible with Opera.

    If I have multiple browser windows open (not tabs, windows) and I close 1 of them, why do ALL browser windows close?

    How are you closing the window?
    Are you using the File menu or the close X on the title bar?
    Use Alt + F to open the File menu with the Close Tab entry visible (doesn't work with the mouse).

  • Best way to approach... Wizards and Multiple Browser Windows?

    How have others got / would others get around the following problem?
    I have a 4 page custom-built wizard to collect information about people and then, on the final step, insert that information into my PERSONS table. I use the same 4 pages as an Update wizard as well (I have a hidden item which is set either to 'CREATE' or 'UPDATE' depending on whether the wizard is in CREATE "mode" or UPDATE "mode" which I can then use in conditions to tell the app which process to run.) This works nicely and by using the same 4 pages for both my update and create wizards it means I need half as many pages.
    When a user enters page 1 of the wizard in UPDATE mode, pages 1, 2, 3 and 4 are populated with details of the person record they are updating. They can then change the values they wish, navigate to the end of the wizard with the "Next" button and then save the changes.
    When a user enters page 1 of the wizard in CREATE mode, I clear the cache for pages 1, 2, 3 and 4. The user can then navigate through the pages using the Next button and then click "Save" to save the new person (perform the INSERT into the DB).
    The problem comes when the user is half way through an update wizard and then, for some reason known only to the user, decides to open a new browser tab/window and start a Create Wizard in this new tab. Starting the Create Wizard has the effect of clearing the cache for the 4 pages which is an issue for when the user goes back to his other tab and tries to continue with the Update Wizard he was half way through (because all the items will have been NULLed). This problem occurs essentially whenever the user initiates one wizard (CREATE or UPDATE) when he is already half way through another one: One of the wizards is always going to get "messed up".
    I would be interested to hear how others have dealt with this problem in the past? Somehow limit the user to having one Wizard open at a time? Or something else?
    All/any comments/thoughts/suggestions much appreciated,
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Well the easiest way around it is user education. Just put an information blurb on the right that says.
    >>
    Running this wizard in multiple browser windows or tabs will/could cause malformed data to be saved.
    >>
    Just like when you do online credit card transactions and they tell you not to click twice or you get charged twice.
    The problem is that the same browser , if in different windows or different tabs, will share the same session.
    You could maybe store all your information in a collection or something and not save or clear cache till the end, but that seems like overkill, just put some text in there that says don't do this!

  • Creating multiple browser windows in Flash or Dreamweaver

    I created a Flash site with several scenes. Is there a way to
    command and code in Flash via Action Script and/or Javascript the
    creation of multiple browser windows each holding one of the scenes
    upon the release of a button corresponding to a respective scene?
    Can this be done in Dreamweaver alternatively? If so how? Can it be
    done at all?
    Thanks so much.
    Jody W

    Hi Gorka:
    I’m finally able to focus on your suggestions and
    hopefully finally finish my site. Just to make sure I’m clear
    on your advice using a scene called “paintings” as an
    example, I discard my earlier code such as <PARAM name =
    “FlashVars” value = “jodysite_paintings.swf =
    paintings”>, and replace it with the code you suggest that
    would look like this once completed (below)?
    <PARAM name = “FlashVars” value =
    “jodysite_paintings.swf =<?php echo $_GET[' paintings
    '];?>”>
    <EMBED FlashVars = "jodysite_paintings.swf=<?php echo
    $_GET['paintings'];?>"></EMBED>
    And in the Actions window for the button that would open a
    new browser window upon release for the “paintings”
    scene, the Actionscript for that button would read:
    getURL("javascript:window.open('
    http://www.jodywidelitz.com?scene=paintings','Paintings',
    toolbar = no, menubar = no, scrollbars = yes, location = no,
    fullscreen=yes, width=1024,height=768); void(0); "_blank", "GET");
    if(paintings != undefined){
    gotoAndStop(paintings, 1); 1 is for frame 1
    This is the way I have the code now, but I developed a glitch
    as soon as I changed the code. My preloader stays caught up in a
    continual load that won’t finish, and won’t advance to
    the next scene. It was working before I entered any FlashVars
    coding. So the Flash movie embedded in Dreamweaver stays blank.
    Also, I am using the original Flash MX and Dreamweaver MX from
    2002-2003. By some chance, does this earlier version of Flash MX
    not recognize FlashVars? I do have the DOCTYPE as <!DOCTYPE HTML
    PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> to allow any
    deprecated code, etc.
    Thanks again,
    Jody

  • Is it possible to have Multiple Browser Windows for a Faces App

    I have just read from another thread
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=427&thread=308725
    that states:
    ..the RI only keeps state for one URL at a time (in the words of the spec: "if the JSF implementation has saved state information for a tree identifier /foo in the user�s session, but receives a request with URI /faces/bar, the saved state information will be thrown away.").
    That means that if you hit the /faces/ servlet with anything (e.g. /faces/css/mainX.css) after it has rendered your .jsp page, all the state necessary to process your form will be lost.
    This must mean that I cant have more than one browser window with a faces
    app at a time, I think that it is necessary to provide the funcionality.
    My application is showing database tables and allows the user to edit them, but to restrict the user to one window doesnt seem feasable.
    If you cant have more than 1 window then command_hyperlinks have serious drawbacks in that the user could be tempted to right click and open another window, then the application would not
    work when changing from one window to another.
    I have an idea but I cant see how to get it to work.
    a hidden page-thread id that identifies which browser window/tab the user is on and that identifies a page-thread map that stores values such as the component tree and other things like list iterators, the problem is that if the user "clones" the window you would need to clone the map and change the hidden page id.
    Does javascript know a window id that it could send?
    Any bright ideas.
    How do uSoft manage this?
    Is http the right protocol????
    As I understand faces apps should be run in a browser window with no back/forward buttons and without any command-hyperlinks to /faces/... so that the user can never break the program, is this correct?

    This used to be the case until EA4 because it has been fixed. Future release will also support necessary API that gives you control over what to save or what not to.

  • Since updating to 3.6.11 I can't open multiple browser windows. Windows 7 Pro

    Using Win 7 Pro I've always been able to open multiple Firefox browser windows. Since updating to Firefox 3.6.11 I can only open one window at a time. I can still have multiple windows open using Internet Explorer or Chrome.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • When I have multiple browser windows open - but in the "minimized" mode - and I want to open up one of them for viewing, ALL of the windows automatically open as well. How do I prevent this annoying function. I cannot find it anywhere in the options.

    This does not appear to be a system issue, but rather a functional aspect of the browser windows. E.g., if I have 7 browser windows open to different sites... and all are Minimized, and I decide to open one to study, THEY ALL POP OPEN automatically. I am using Firefox v3.6.8 on Windows 7. This is an annoying behavior of the browser, and I am sure it can be somehow "turned off" but cannot determine how to do that. I have looked through all options. I am not a techie, but have reasonable proficiency with software apps.

    This can happen if you drag a tab slightly down in the browser window while clicking.
    Firefox has a feature called tear-off tabs
    You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.
    You can also do this via the right-click context menu of a tab: Move to New Window
    You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

  • Maintaining session across multiple browser windows and page refreshes

    Hi there,
    We're currently developing a Flex application with a couple of session-related requirements that we're not sure how to solve. Before we jump in and maybe go about things in the wrong way, I thought I'd post and see if anyone here knows of some elegant solutions!
    Currently, when our Flex app starts the user is presented with a log-in screen which authenticates the user against our server. Client-server communication is done through BlazeDS.
    Our first requirement is the ability to open a new browser window from Actionscript - this window will load a pdf document. The servlet that serves this pdf should deny the request if the user is not already logged in. The only way we can see to do this so far is to open the pdf url using navigateToUrl() with the '_blank' target, passing a jsessionid token as a url parameter. Is there a better way to preserve session state when opening a new window?
    The second requirement is to preserve some application and session across browser refreshes. Our Flex app has several screens that the user can tab between. If the user hits F5 or the refresh button in their browser, we'd like the app to return to the same screen after the refresh. I've been looking into using BrowserManager to add a fragment such as #screen=2 to the url, but of course we only want the app to display screen 2 if the user has already authenticated with the server. Is there a way to reuse the user's existing session credentials after a page refresh?
    Many thanks in advance for any advice anyone can offer on this. It could very well be that we're missing something about how BlazeDS uses / exposes session credentials that would make all of this easier to implement than we currently realise!

    We use javascript to pass values between a 'data look up' window and the originating Servlet. If this is of any use, I can send you some examples.

  • Suddenly after running Firefox for years, I cannot open multiple browser windows using Windows XP.

    I have always been able to open more than one browser windows, so I can have my email minimized while doing other tasks on one or more other browsing pages. All of a sudden, I can only open one browsing page. When I try to open a second, I get the red circle with a diagonal slash through it stopping me.
    Can anyone help me?

    Hi,
    The path to the profile would usually be '''My Computer''' > '''?:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\***.default''', if there are no other profiles. If there is another profile, it would be that instead of ***.default. You may have to enable hidden files and folders.

  • IE 10 spawns multiple browser windows

    This problem occurs the day after we release patches each month.
    From time to time, when users login and get their desktop, IE spawns a bunch of
    browser windows (20+) and the users have to close them out.  What is the cause and how do you stop this behavior?

    Hi,
    According to my experience, your system probably infected by malware or virus, you can use security software scan your system firstly.
    On the other hand, how about resetting IE settings? Please have a try. 
    Please check if IE enabled any other plugin that may cause this problem.

  • Running Multiple Browser Windows on Apple 30"?

    Gidday,
    Can anyone please tell me how to set up three browser windows (right, center, left) on my Apple 30"?
    Thank you!

    Boy, do I feel like a Mo-ron! (I thought there might be an app that did it automatically.)
    Thank you for the help, Phil!

  • Until very recently I used to be able to open multiple browsing windows in Firefox, but now I can only open one window & if I close down the session & try to reopen Firefox it doesn't open

    I can restart Firefox only after rebooting my laptop.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
    <br />
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br />

  • How do i control an external movie in a separate browser window?

    i am creating a website for a band, with an mp3 player. i
    want to be able to make an mp3 player that pops up in a separate
    browser window. the mp3 player would have a "playlist" that can be
    dynamically changed from the main window, which gives a list of
    albums & tracks to choose from. the model for this is
    Rhapsody's web interface.
    so, how would i go about creating & dynamically changing
    the playlist (while music is playing) across multiple browser
    windows? the "playlist" would be an array of references to mp3s, i
    guess-- so is there a way to pass events & variables across the
    windows?

  • Is it possible for multiple/different hyperlinks to open up in the SAME browser window?

    I am able to put hyperlinks to various web pages in a PDF document.  When I click on the first one, it opens up in a new browser window.   The problem is that I want each subsequent link to reuse that same browser window.  This seems to work when I open up the PDF document from my desktop, but if the document is first loaded into a web page, each link opens up a *new* browser window.

    Hi Pat,
    Thanks for the quick response.
    I used Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 to create the document.  I added a link and then in the "Actions" property for the link, I specified
    "Run a javascript":  app.launchURL("http://www.cnnfn.com", true) .
    I had to use the app.launchURL method because the "Open a Web Link" action causes a warning message to appear when the PDF is contained in web page.  You have to first click "Open in a new window" before the url is opened up in a new browser window.  The behavior that we want is that each time you click on a hyperlink on the PDF, you are automatically taken to a specific browser window (without warning and reusing the window that has already been opened).

  • 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

    If yes, can anybody tell me how? or where can I find documentation about it?
    Please help me.

    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.
