How to stop video Autoplay when opened in new tab (before clicking on the tab)

In Firefox on my old PC, and Safari on the current Mac, if I open a video in a new tab, the video would not auto-play, until I clicked on the tab. On Firefox on the Mac the video just auto plays. This is pretty annoying when I open 4 or 5 videos in different tabs and they all start playing. I want to click on the tab before it starts playing.
As safari on the Mac does not play the videos automatically, I am hoping there is a way to stop it on Firefox?
So an example is metacafe.com. If you open a video in a new tab, the video will start playing automatically, whether you click on the tab or not.
If you open up the same site in safari, and open the video in a new tab, the video will only start playing once you have clicked on the tab.

...still blooming me!
Who else the autoplay helps?

When opening a new window, any clicks within the new window click through to the original window so you can't scroll or save from the new window.

Anytime that a new window is opened (such as when sending an email message or opening a pdf) I am unable to click on the new window. I can't click send or click on the scroll bars of the new window. If I attempt to click on the window it clicks on whatever is behind the window instead. If the new window opens with a cursor within it then I am able to type or scroll through with keyboard arrows, but cannot click or use the mouse scroll buttons. I also cannot choose items from drop down menus with the mouse (even in the original window). I must use the keyboard arrows to select any menu options.

I used to be able to open a new tab by clicking on the + tab on the far right. Now when I click the +, nothing happens. No new tab appears. What could be wrong?

The Open a new tab (the + sign at the far right of the tabs) does not respond. How do I fix that?

hi Christian
For this you need to do .......
in the table tag populate this event
<b>onRowSelection = "<OnSelect>"</b> this event.
Now use a flag, let it be SHOW_POPUP.
Now in the event handling capture the selection event of the table.
IF EVENT->EVENT_NAME = 'tableView' AND
EVENT->EVENT_SERVER_NAME = 'onSelect'.
TV ?= CL_HTMLB_MANAGER=>GET_DATA( REQUEST = REQUEST
NAME = 'tableView'
ID = '<tableID' ).
IF TV IS NOT INITIAL.
TABLE_EVENT = TV->DATA.
ROWINDEX = TABLE_EVENT->ROW_INDEX.
READ TABLE <Table Name> INDEX ROWINDEX into WA.
Key = WA-<VALUE>.
clear SHOW_POPUP.
IF Key IS NOT INITIAL.
SHOW_POPUP = 'X'.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
Now in the LayOut Page Write This Script In Between Form Tag in the begning only.
<%
if SHOW_POPUP EQ 'X'.
%>
<script>
function call_help(name)
var result = window.open(name,"helpWindow", "status=no, menubar=no width=730,height=550");
result.moveTo(100,40);
</script>
<%
endif.
%>
And in between <FORM> Tag Call This Function Like
<script>
call_help("<page Name.htm>?Key=<%= Key %>");
</script>
Do not use these code as u were using earlier
onCellClick = "onCellClick"
<htmlb:link id = "link"
onClientClick = "return popitup('mat_move.do?key=11')">
</htmlb:link>
Do Remember to clear the SHOW_POPUP Flag on request of the page at each time.
<b>What I am trying to do is , On click of the table control i will trigger a server event.
i the server event i will set the flag SHOW_POPUP and navigate the data that is required on the popup window through navigate->setparameter().
now when the layout will be refreshed it will check the SHOW_popup Flag. If it is set, it will define the javascript fuction, otherwise skip that code.</b>
I think This will definitely help you , If you find any problem do revert back....

How to stop video/animation when the back/continue button is pressed

hi! we are currently playing some of our videos via SWF. the swfs are placed on the slides and automatically play. Next and back buttons were added for navigation. One thing though is that when the next and back buttons are pressed to go to the next slide(even when the video in the swf is not yet finished) the swf still plays in the background. how do you set the triggers for this? thanks!
by the way, we used flvplayback component in flash as3. so flash publishes both the flvplayback skin swf and the main swf of the FLA file. Then on Captivate's side, after zipping, we included the swf files there

Yup, in the swf animation I placed some lines of code to make the slide pause but in my case since I'm playing a video on my swf pausing the slide doesn't pause the video.
myRoot = MovieClip(root);
mainmov = MovieClip(myRoot.parent.root);
mainmov.rdcmndPause = 1;
The code above will pause the slide. You can try if it works for you.

How to stop book marks from opening in a side bar instead of the current tab

I was fiddling around with some add ons, but for some reason now whenever I try to open a bookmark it opens them in a weird little side bar thing on the left of my screen. How can I make it so that my bookmarks open up in my current tab again?

hello, you can right-click those bookmarks, select properties & uncheck the option to load the bookmark in the sidebar.

Is it possible to force Firefox to load a url in a tab when opening a new page (before the page has loaded)?

Recently when using a rather unreliable internet connection I'm often get dropped connections that prevent pages from loading.
In the past this used to result in an "Unable to connect to server page" when the timeout happened, which was fine as I could just refresh the page.
These days however the page is timing out when the page is still on the about:blank stage (or stuck on the current page), before the url has been updated, so I'm losing the address.
Is there any way to force firefox to update the url as soon as the page load request is made, as opposed to when it recieves a response from the server (which is how it seems to work at the moment)?

If you click a link then Firefox may only be showing the URL on the location bar if at least there is a connection to the server.
If you are on Linux then it should take minutes before the connection times out, at least that is what I see (on Windows it is only 20 seconds). This might be different in case the connection drops.
There should be a try again button of the net error page to reload this link.
Don't you see such a button?

Open a new window while clicking on the command button

Hi,
Can I open a pdf report in a new window when adf command button is clicked?
I am using jdev11g
Thanks

Hi John,
I found the goButton's destination expression do not read value from any controls e.g.: Input Text.
Is there anyway to read some value, that input by user not in the db, on the screen?
e.g.: I have a Input Text for user to input a date to print the report. I've tried to binding the control in backingBean, but I get a null value from the goButton's destination function.
the jspx:
<af:inputText label="Search" id="it1"
                        value="#{backingBeanScope.backing_goUrl.it1Value}" autoSubmit="true"/>
<af:goButton text="goButton 1" id="gb1" targetFrame="_blank"
                       destination="#{backingBeanScope.backing_goUrl.searchURL}"/>in the backing bean:
public class GoUrl {
private String it1Value;
public String getIt1Value() {
    return it1Value;
public void setIt1Value(String it1Value) {
    this.it1Value = it1Value;
public String getSearchURL() {
    String s = getIt1Value();
    return "http://www.google.com/search?hl=zh-tw&q="+s; // the result of s is always null.
}Cheers,

Home computer (running Vista) no longer opens new tab by clicking on the tab line. Unable to open a new tab on same window unless the website does it. Computer (using XP) does not have this problem.

This problem has appeared only in the last week or two.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

How do I get firefox to open a new window when i click on a link in a webpage ?

When I click on a link in a webpage in Firefox, generally it opens the new page in the window i am in (though some times it does not). How do I get it to open a new window (or tab) each time I click a link.
For example, on www.bbc.co.uk if I click on a link, the new page opens in the same window, if I then click another link in the new window, again, it opens in the same window. To get back to the original window, I have to use the back button twice. Surely there is a setting so that all 3 windows can be open on separate tabs or separate windows.
I have been to the tabs window in options, but doesn't seem to make a difference.

Open link/bookmark in new tab in same window:
*Middle-click (press the mouse scroll wheel) the link
*Ctrl+left click the link
*right-click the link, choose "Open Link in New Tab"
Open link/bookmark in new window:
* Shift+Enter on the link
* Shift+left click on the link

How to stop while loop when a specified function is terminated?

I want to make a program which has 2 thread, one of which is to control some devices, and the other is to measure outputs of the devices.
To do that, I should make a 2 independent loops, but there comes a problem here.
I want to terminate 2 loops at the same time, but it's difficult for me to do that, because when I try to notify upper sequence's termination to lower loop by some value change, they have some dependency.
That's why I need your help. I want to know how to stop lower loop when the upper sequence's termination keeping their independency.
Please let me know. Thank you.

Is the upper loop commanding the lower loop at all? I would think you would have some type of communication between the loops. Just use that communication to send a stop command. Or the next best way is to just simply use a notifier.
