How to make New Windows open where I want!

Every time I launch Safari, it opens the window on the left side of the screen. How to do get it to open on the right side? I'm sure there is a keystroke combination to reset the default position or AppleScript, but I can't find one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem way back. I finally gave up and now use the following applescript. Change the pixel coordinates of the top left and bottom right of the window, that appear in parentheses, to fit size of your screen. Mine is set for my 2x" early Cinema display.
javascript:self.moveTo(190,0);self.resizeTo(1150,995)
Make a bookmark put this script into the URL area of the bookmark (right side) and rename it to something like "my window size" and then put it in your bookmark bar folder. Then just click on it in the bookmark bar and window will move and resize to whatever you have entered in the parentheses.
Fair winds and happy bytes, Dave Flory

How to make new tabs open in the url I desire?

the info on the page that best describes the solution is way WAY too techie for non-tech-but-otherwise-intelligent people.
how about if you put something where non-tech-but-willing-to-try folks are likely to look for it, namely the "tab" area under "options"? perhaps a box that shows where firefox currently directs when a new tab is opened and a simplistic way to enter the desired url?
thank you.

You can set the browser.newtab.url pref on the about:config page to the desired URL.
Type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key to open the about:config page like you open a website by typing the URL in the location bar.
*If you see a warning message then you can confirm that you want to access the about:config page.
You can use the Search bar at the top of the about:config page to locate preferences more easily
So in this case start typing browser.newtab until you see the line with the browser.newtab.url pref.
You can right-click this line and select modify and change the value of this pref to your preferred new tab website.

How to make safari window open up to my size pref

Sorry about the long subject title. Everytime I open safari on my Apple computers the safari window will open up in a different size or place. How can I set it to open to my own default like preference so that it covers the screen when I open safari.
Does that make sense?
Thanks!

Thanks alot for the quick response. However, my problem is that I do resize the window with the lower right drag every time I open safari. It doesn't seem to save the setting or something. If I stretch it out huge....next time I open, it will be tiny, (and hitting the green button doesn't fix it) or in a different possition.
Any other ideas?
Thanks!

How to make download window open to front

When I download a file, how can I make the download window automatically come to the front?

THANK YOU! I don't know which idiot thought of removing the downloads window in favor of that ridiculous menu but I've been tearing my hair out trying to fix it. The old window has everything you need in one easy window while the menu requires multiple steps to check EACH download. I was ready to drop release 20 and go back to 19.

New window opens behind existing window - how to modify?

Sometimes when I select another program or function, the new window opens up behind an existing window on the screen. I know there are ways of getting to the new window, but how can I make W7 operate like earlier Windows in this respect - i.e. always open a new window in the foreground?

This is an OLD POST, but I think I need to contribute my two cents!
In Windows 7, window pop-ups are control by FOREGROUNDFLASHCOUNT and FOREGROUNDLOCKTIMEOUT in the REGISTRY (You need to CLICK ON the START ICON at the leftest of your TASKBAR, and type REGEDIT in the SEARCH PROGRAMS and FILES field). Go to the REGISTRY
EDITOR and it is at this path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\CONTROL PANEL\DESKTOP.
One click on the DESKTOP (Manual Display), and your will see the detail populate at the right side of the REGISTRY EDITOR window. Go to fine the FOREGROUNDLOCKTIMEOUT, and double click on it.
The EDIT DWORD small window will pop-up. Change the VALUE DATA to ZERO.
Yes, you must restart your PC in order for the change to apply.
Here is what is telling us in the Windows 7 manual: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc957205.aspx
ForegroundFlashCount

Specifies the number of times the taskbar button flashes to notify the user that the system has activated a background window. If the time elapsed since the last user input exceeds the value of the ForegroundLockTimeout entry,
the window will automatically be brought to the foreground.

Yes, if the DOWNLOAD timer in the FOREGROUNDLOCKTIMEOUT (SHOWING 30D40 Hexadecimal) is longer than the 3 FLASH(Default), then you will see the new WINDOW pop-up behind your mother window or your application. Set the VALUE DATA to ZERO, sooner
than the 3 FLASH of the FOREGROUNDFLASHCOUT, the the DESCRIPTION above is applied.
Good luck

How do i get the components when a new window opens from the main window?

In a given application, i am able to get the list of components for the main window. When an event happens in the main window, now a new window opens here how do i get the components for this newly opened window?

getContentPane().getComponents() can be used, only if i know that new class name thats been poped up when the event happens to that main window....
Is there anyway in runtime to know that new class name & fetch the event...

I click a link but it doesn't open. Instead I get a popup saying "Open the link in a new window," "Open link in a new tab," etc. How can I kill this popup or whatever it is forever?

I click a link but it doesn’t open. Instead I get a popup saying “Open the link in a new window,” “Open link in a new tab,” etc. How can I kill this popup or whatever it is forever?

That happens if the server sends the file as text/plain.
You can see this if you open "Tools > Page Info > General": Content-Type: text/plain
Files send this way will always open in a tab.

How do I make new tabs open to my specified home page instead of blank page?

How do I make new tabs open to my specified home page instead of blank page?

I generally like to avoid add-ons, and the second option is still an extra step - not opening tabs to the homepage, as requested (rather how to switch to your Home page after a tab opens to the blank page).
Here's a wild idea: How 'bout a setting option in Tools > Options > Tabs for "Always open new tabs to my Home page" ?

On eBay, when I click "enlarge" for item picture, the new window opens off screen; how can change the default location?

It used to be that when I clicked "enlarge" under the item picture, on items that offer this feature, the new window opened to the left of the screen, which is useful. Now, however, only the left-hand edge of the new window with the enlarged image is visible on the right hand side of my screen and I have to pull it across every time, which gets annoying. I think this started after I created two windows in eBay, one of which was on the right of my screen. Now it seems that the enlarged image window always opens where the second of the two eBay windows was located.
I look forward to your suggestions.
Thanks, Simon

Ok, I figured it out, I clicked "i don't have device available" and it let me log in to my account.

New windows open as something ridiculously small. How can I reset default window size?

New windows open in a space the size of a postage stamp. Quite literally. I have to grab them and expand them in order to even use them.

Firefox should remember the size of the last closed window. Once you have stretched it out to the desired size, make it the last window you close. If Firefox stubbornly refuses to remember settings changes, then you might want to consult this article: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Preferences+are+not+saved Preferences are not saved].
Any luck?

When I open a new window (Ctrl+N), I want a blank page to appear. I do not want my home pages opened. How can I do that?

When I open a new window (Ctrl+N), I want a blank page to appear. I do not want my home pages opened. How can I do that?

A new window opens by default with the home page(s). 
If you want a blank window then you need to open an about:blank page in a new window. 
You can do that with a bookmark that you open with a Shift+ left-click in a new window. 
Otherwise you need to set the Home page to a blank page and use a bookmark to open the preferred Home page in a new tab.

New window opens behind, etc.

I'm running Safari 4.0.5. Several things are happening. I can't launch Safari directly from the dock. The Safari icon on the dock open a finder window with the Safari icon, from which I can launch Safari.
After several minutes of inactivity, the address bar will not accept input. Clicking on the bar moves the bar. I'm lucky if re-launching Safari solves the problem. Then there are the windows. When I click on a link, the new window opens behind the old one. Clicking on the window does not bring it to the front. I have to move the original window out of the way in order to enter text or click on links in the new window. Sometimes, the dock indicates Safari is running, and there is a Safari window open, but not active. Clicking in the window does not make Safari active. Sometimes Safari is active and I want to go to the Finder. Clicking on the desktop does not take me to the Finder.

HI John,
Move the current Safari icon off the Dock. Just click and drag the icon straight up until it goes "poof".
Now go to your Applications folder and try launching Safari from there. If you can, then you will see a new Safari icon in the Dock. Click that then click: Options/Keep in Dock. or just Keep in Dock.
You may need to reset Safari and empty the cache also.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset. Relaunch Safari. If you still have problems...go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Make sure Safari is not running in Rosetta. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle so it faces down. Where you see Open using Rosetta... make sure that is NOT selected.
If you still have problems, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If it's a successful launch, then that .plist file needs to be moved to the Trash.

How to pen new window while redirecting to a page

Hi,
I have a jsppage 1,jsppage 2 and aspPage. In jsp2 I am getting the
values from jsp1 using request.getParameter("hhhh").Once I get
all values in jsp2 , as soon as I got the values I need to redirect to asp from jsp2.
I don't have any form or any button in jsp2.When I do submit in jsp1,
immediately it has to open asp page in new window. My question is how
I open the asp in new window in this redirection case .....?.
I tried this way but not working ...
WebsiteUtils.sendRedirect(request,response,window.open("ASP page"));
I know if I have submit button in jsp2 I can write a javascriptfunction
to opennew window but here the case is different....
Appreciate your reply.
Thanks

On jsppage1, instead of using a from submit button, you can create abutton and write th onClick as
<input type="button" value="OK" onClick="window.open('jsppage2.jsp','win2');">
Now in Jsppage2.jsp, after doing all the processing, use sendRedirect to call jsppage3.jsp.
Since jsppage2 is never being displayed, page3 will bw the one which will be shown in the new window opened by the name win2 on onClick.
If I have understood your requirement correctly, then this should work for you as I have tried it out.
