Form renders in separate window

Some users are having an issue where their forms are rendering out of the browser and they don't have access to the routing buttons. The users that have this issue have it consistently (user A will always have the issue) but other users with the same versions of software will not have problems (user B can use the tool normally)
Specifically we are using Livecycle 8.2
Acrobat Reader X 10.0 ( we have the option checked to render in the browser)
Internet explorer 8.0.760
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Parker

The versions of the software are the same.
By routing buttons I'm refering to two different buttons we have added to the form, one for 'Approved' one for 'Denied'. Depending on which one they pick they follow different paths in the process. I hope I'm using the proper term for the buttons.
The issue is that when the form displays out of the browser the buttons are pushed off the screen. We are not able to move the screen so we can't get to the buttons.
Thanks again

Forms in a seperate Window / Frame (Tip / Solution)

Hello all,
I think I have a nice solution for the problem to start Oracle Forms in a separate window without an additional Iexplorer Window (not working for Firefox ,
Webstart is not possible because you don't get the env from default.env).
So I tell you that, I hope it helps :
What does the developer do.
He uses a javascript to open new window and copy the original webutiljpi.htm into this new window. Then he closes the main window and reload the new one.
That is all
webutiljp_wini.htm

SITUATION:
Usually the forms applet can be started with either 'separateFrame=true' (which will result in an internetexplorer-window being opened, followed by a second window containg the applet) or with 'separateFrame=false' (which will result in the applet being displayed within the standard internetexplorer-window).
Disadvantages of the first method are:
- two tasks visible in windows taskbar, potentialle irritating for customers as the IE-window doesn't seem to be good for anything
- the applet will close/crash on the internetexplorer-window accidentally being closed or another URL being entered
Main disadvantage of the second method is that so far we have not been able to hide this window's locationbar, menubar etc.
SOLUTION:
Via JavaScript it is possible to open and close windows and under certain circumstances it is possible to do this without a popup asking for acknowledgement of the action being raised.
The JS-function works as follows:
1) assign the original html-code to a variable
2) assign a name (e.g. 'opener') to the current window
3) open a blank page in a new window. For this window we do not specify a name as this would prevent us from being able to open several applets in different windows (i.e. starting a second applet would cause the first applet's window to be used and thus the first applet to be closed).
4) next, we have to replace some substrings within our variable for parsing reasons
5) write the variable's content to the new window
6) open any page in the window named 'opener' (e.g. 'about:blank') and refer to this window's opener. These two steps enable us to close the window without a popup being displayed.
7) now there's only our applet window being displayed. For some yet unknown reason, the applet itself won't be executed without a reload-command.
Note: Working with IE7 (with multiple tabs), the '.close()'-operation will not close the IE-window but the current tab.
CHANGES (HTML):
Regarding the main changes, it's not really about the code of the standard HTML page but rather about displaying this page programmatically via javascript within a new window which therefore can be customized (menubar, locationbar, size, resizability etc.).
So what we're doing is mainly creating a wrapper for the original HTML page.
It might also be possible to have the standard HTML page's code in a separate file that is being loaded from within the script, but this would result in 2 files necessary (the wrapper script and the html page) and we haven't checked if the replacement of variables (%VARNAME%) that is done by forms will still work.

Open form in separate window

Hi gentlemen
I have parent form include button this button when the user press it, it will call the other form but in same window (that what I don’t want)
My question is how I can open another form in separate window (same as when you open it alone)

Use open_form..
Read the help in Form builder for the open_form built-in... Pay particular attention to the 'SESSION' or 'NO_SESSION" argument. Pick your flavor.
For every application that I have ever made including and above Forms 5.0 I always use...
open_form('myform', ACTIVATE, SESSION);
This opens a form up in its own window, gives it focus, and makes a new separate session.

Displaying content in a separate window

I have the results of an ldap search being displayed in a JSP container, but want to be able to display the individual details of an entry in a separate window when the user clicks on an entry.
I have tried doing a window.open (and using the target attribute of <A>) using the following href...
href="portal/dt?action=content&provider=CHANNEL_NAME&dn=<util:encode value="$result.dn"/>" >
This does bring up the new window as expected, however it seems to leave the portal in a confused state. Once the window has been opened, selecting other options in the main portal window produces incorrectly rendered screens.
I don't want to go to an external page as this would require making usernames and passwords visible.
I looked at JSPPopupContainer but got nowhere with that. Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply...
Basically we have a JSP channel which initially displays just the search criteria fields and a search button - when the search button is pressed, the filter is generated based on the field contents and placed in a hidden field on the form, the forms action is to call the current page - this time, because the filter field has a value, the ldap search is done and the results are displayed below the search fields - the 'person name' being a hyperlink' which should show the persons full details.
Ideally, I'd like to keep it all within the context of the portal. I did look at calling an external page, but could not work out how to set up the link as to put all the required details in the request header and call the new page, rather than just passing it in the URL which I don't want to do as private info would then be visible.

Display XML forms in a single window-URGENT!!!!!!!

Hi,
I created a project with XML forms Builder. It is working but the thing is that now i just want to display all the forms in the same window. Means that when i want to edit a new item instead of a new window i want to work in the same browser.
Is that possible by configuring a resource renderer(NewsRenderer for example)?
Otherwise do u know another solution?
Please i need help.
I found a topic in the forum (thread below) https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=46122&messageID=466382
But i didn't understand all the points.
So if someone know something please answer.
Thx in advance.

Hi Robert,
I did as u said: I downloaded the file <u>YOUR_PROJECT_NewsRenderListItem.xsl</u> but i didn't find any <b>_blank</b> in the text. Let's say i have exactly the same problem than in the previous thread, i don't know where to add the URL and where to replace _blank.
I don't know where to find the method <u>CreateXSLDocument</u>(Detlev thread) and what is its interest?
Can u please explain where i can find "xinfo=window.open(url,'_blank',params)"? It should be (according to Detlev) in <u>com.sapportals.wcm.app.xfbuilder.server.generator.xsldocs.CreateXSLDocument</u> but i really don't know how to reach this address.
Thx a lot!!!

Adobe form opened in separete window

Hi all
We developed an AWD application which contains an Interactive form element.
When we execute the application via SAP GUI (Right click -> Test on application) everything is OK and the adobe form appears embedded in the browser.
If we copy the path of application and paste it on address bar of browser (if we don't execute it via SAP GUI) the adobe section of screen will open in separate window (won't be embedded into the application).
Please advice.
Thanks in advance

Hi...
It means, when we test the application, it is displaying adobe in new window.
Form GUI if you test, it will create one window, and displays the same in that window.
And the same application if you paste it in other browser window, internally it will again trigger one window, in that window it will display the adobe.
Hope you understand a bit concept at least .
Am unable to explain clearly with words.

My video playback, in separate window, has no volume or jog functionality

I can not use the progress jog bar, as well as the volume bar, when viewing videos in a separate window via iTunes. If i click on either of them it will simply pause the video and not slide.
To adjust the volume or skip forward or back I have to open the iTunes main window and do it form there. I can use the keyboard shortcuts but I prefer to use the separate window to control playback and volume.
Running current version of iTunes (64bit) on Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit) which was freshly installed this past week. Was also having this issue with the RC and RTM version of Windows 7 I was running prior. Seems to have broke with a recent software update to iTunes as I did not have this issue before. I have dealt with this issues for some weeks now and just see no reason to it to keep happening.
Any help?

Never mind. It's because I had audio and video going through HDMI through the Thunderbolt port. As soon as I shut off my Amp, the separate windows appeared again. Very strange.

Communication between separate windows

Hello,
I am a JSF newbie and i have the following problem.
I have one JSF-Site where the user can enter a value in an input_text field. I want to open another page in a new, separate window when the value of this field has changed. This is possible by using the onchange-attibute with the javascript: "this.form.submit(); window.open (...)"
In the new window, there?s a table with the possibly results of a selection. Each row has one button to select the row. In the onclick-attribute i tried to work with the javascript: "this.form.submit(); window.opener.location='<Adress from the first JSF-Page>';window.close();"
The data for the two pages are saved in a session bean.
The problem is, sometimes it works, mostly not. The window is closing correctly, but the first window was not updated.
Is there another way to work with separat windows? Can i manage the windows within a bean?
Thanks for your help.
Matthias

I assume this kind of behaviour is due to the life cycle of the submitted page. The values in your new page have not been persisted yet in the bean while the first page is opening, so the render gets the old values.
Is it not possible to pass the selected value from the new page through parameters in the URL of the first page instead of getting them from the bean?
Second solution, in JSF 1.2, you can use the attribute beforePhase related to <f:view> in order to wait for the persisting of the new values in the bean. The load of the first page is conditionned to a flag set after the persisting in the bean.

Followup on archived thread re Opening Bookmarks in Separate Window with FULL FUNCTIONALITY not Annoying Limits

First, I find it annoying that relatively recent threads are closed so quickly, especially when good solutions aren't found to the questions posed.
In this case, I see someone else wanted to open their bookmarks in a new window, not a tab or sidebar.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/984381#answer-526189
The 'chosen' answer provided was use Ctrl Shift B. That does open the Library in a separate window.
But for me that's totally inadequate, because one can only view the contents of one folder at a time. And I have hundreds. The person posing the question replied that detailed information on each bookmark is not displayed that way either. In my case, with a large and developed bookmark tree, that telescoping two panel view poses an unworkable limitation. And one that kept me at FF 3.6.28 until a year ago, when I found an answer to that problem, and this gentleman's also, I believe.
I'm now using FF 27, with the All In One Sidebar extension. I believe that adds a Bookmarks Icon with a Star at the top of a new sidebar.
If set up properly (see customize), left clicking allows you to "display your bookmarks" as a Sidebar, New Tab or New Window. But more importantly, in the New Window at least, it is not in the dreaded two pane mode where I can only view the contents of a single selected folder at any one time. Instead, I can open multiple folders at one time and see multiple individual bookmarks, buried in separate folders or subfolders, at one time. Ie, the same hierarchical layout that used be available before FF 4 changed the whole bookmarks architecture. So, when I open a new folder to view its contents, it doesn't close the prior folder automatically. And that's the way it should be. Users should have options, not have particular behavior imposed on them. Now, I'm not confident that I can upgrade to a newer FF as I was not readily able to get the same functionality out of AIOS using a more recent version of FF. But I didn't try hard, so it might also work with newer versions. Perhaps someone can verify that.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/984381#answer-526189
This thread was closed so quickly? That thread is '''''just over a year old'''''. Threads get archived after 6 months, or later when the thread isn't "Solved" and receives new postings later on. And the Chosen Solution in that thread was to use '''chrome://browser/content/bookmarks/bookmarksPanel.xul''' in the URL bar (or a Bookmark).
As far as older versions of Firefox and how they worked, you are mistaken about how Firefox 3.6.xx works - basically the same as the later versions all the way up the the current Firefox 35 Release version. In the Library window ''(Show All Bookmarks)'', select a folder in the left pane and view the contents of that folder in the right pane - is the same now as it was in Firefox 3.0, with few minor changes.
The last version that had the old Bookmarks Manager window, where you could have multiple folders open in the right pane was Firefox 2.0.0.20. Firefox 3.0 was the first version that had the current Library window scheme. Firefox 3.0 was where the major change to the Show All Bookmarks occurred.''The reason that I am so sure of when those changes occurred is that I have every version of Firefox from 2.0.0.20 all the way up to the current Nightly 38.0a1 version installed; I didn't rely on my memory of those old version changes - I just viewed them to answer this thread.''
Regardless of how each individual user thinks Firefox "should work", it works they way Mozilla decided it should work. If you don't like the way the standard features work you can always install extensions that do have the features you want. Mozilla doesn't impose anything on their users; don't like something find an extension that does it better for you. And it an extension doesn't exist; learn to create those features yourself by building your own extension. Still not good enough; use a different browser that works the way you think it should work.
As far as updating to Firefox 35 goes, use the Firefox Portable version to experiment with, so you don't risk your current installation in case you don't like the new version.
http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable
Just install it to your hard drive; it won't affect your current installation in any way, shape, or form.

Can we view events in separate windows?

In previous versions of iPhoto, we could open an event and make it a separate window, then go back to our Library of events and open a second event. Is this possible in iPhoto 11?
We liked the option of having two windows open with separate scroll bars and then moving photos between each.
Thanks

Afraid not.

I want to open a folder in a separate window by clicking on it. For some reason when I click on a folder it just replaces the one I was just in. I want them both to be open at the same time without having to go through several steps.

I want to open a folder in a separate window by clicking on it. For some reason when I click on a folder it just replaces the one I was just in. I want them both to be open at the same time without having to go through several steps. Old apple operating systems made it easy to have several folders open at one time.

Eric, thanks that works but seems like an extra added step also to do it that way. I've got to move and organize a ton of files and I'm looking for a easy way to get this done. I could also open the folder into a separate tab and then drag the tab out so it becomes an open window but thats a lot of fussing around also with extra steps. Not sure why these newer operating system seems more confusing and less user friendly than what they used to. In the past I could just click on any folder and it would open in a separate window making it really easy to copy or move files from one place to the other just by simply dragging them from one window to the other. Seems like I'm going through several extra steps now to do a simple task.

Mail: Clicking a message in Inbox should open it in a separate window (not just in lower pane). This stopped working after an automatic update of OS(10.6.8). Suggestions?

Before updating software (10.6.8), in Mail, clicking a message in the inbox caused the message to appear in its own separate window-- not just in the pane below the inbox. I'm not sure why this function is no longer available. I guess I could delete Preferences (where?) and see if that does it. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Nick

Before updating software (10.6.8), in Mail, clicking a message in the inbox caused the message to appear in its own separate window-- not just in the pane below the inbox.
Uh…no it didn't. Double-clicking a message would open it in a new window. Regardless of whether you have the message pane visible, you still have to double-click the message if you want it to open in it's own message window.
I guess I could delete Preferences (where?) and see if that does it.
No, you can't do that; not unless you want to say bye-bye to all your email. Don't even think about messing around with things unless you know what you're doing, and the consequences.

Can't figure it out! How to open a fullscreen game in a separate window.

I have a game I like to play (Fairy Tower Pinball by LittleWing) but due to some glitch it will only play in fullscreen mode. In its options panel there are 3 different settings (desktop, standard and wide screen) but none of them seem to change the game from full screen mode. I have tried all the keyboard shortcuts (command-h, command-m, command-shift-return, command-tab, escape etc.). I also have a mighty mouse, programmed in Expose with certain buttons for "All Windows" and "Show Desktop," but these do not work either. The hot corners are also of no use. The mouse pointer is not visible.
There must be a way to open this game in a separate window, one that I can minimize, resize and move around. Shouldn't there be an easy thing I can cut and paste into the game's programming using Terminal so that it will simply open in a window instead of go directly to full screen? Please help. I need to be able to do other things without having to quit the game every time.

i can't access the menu bar when the game is in full screen so fast user switching is out. the hotkey for spaces won't work either, just like the Expose buttons on my mouse. i still don't believe the game can lock me out of my computer like this.

The latest version of iTunes does not allow me to open a playlist in a separate window. I need this feature. Is there another way? You used to be able to double click a playlist and have it appear in a new window.

Others have commented on this too. It seems to be one of the 'improvements' of the newer version you are supposed to embrace with joy as an exciting new development. You can send feedback to Apple but realize you may be perceived as standing in the path of progress.
