Javascript:showPrintPDF opens a blank window

I use a courier site which opens a new window to view and print the labels for parcels, using "javascript:showPrintPDF". Firefox opens a blank window with no content.

I'm not sure anyone can diagnose this for you without registering for the site, so here are some suggestions for self-help.
Question: Did it work before and stop working recently? If so:
(A)
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
(B)
To rule out the possibility that an add-on is interfering, can you test in Firefox's Safe Mode?
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode] using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the Safe Mode dialog, do not check any boxes, just click "Continue in Safe Mode."
If the window populates correctly, this points to an add-on or custom setting or perhaps a saved password as the problem. A few things to work through.
If the site doesn't load correctly, we would have to consider other factors.
Any luck?

When I open a pdf file, Firefox opens a blank window, then the file opens in a Adobe Reader window. How can I stop the blank window?

Whether I am using Firefox 3.6.8 or Thunderbird 3.0.6, clicking on a pdf file opens a new window. After a few seconds the pdf file opens in a separate Adobe Reader window. When I am done with that and close it, I still have to go back and close out the blank window. Got to be a configuration issue some place. I have tried several settings under Tools/Options, but haven't found the right setting yet. Any suggestions?

Thank you very much for the reply. I followed your instructions. This fixed half of the problem. Links to pdf files that are on web pages now come up with a box that asks if I want to open or save the file, without a blank browser window in the background. That is great.
When I tested the fix with pdf file links in email, the problem still exists. I tested links in Outlook Express, Yahoo mail, and Gmail. Any time I click on a pdf link in an email, a blank Firefox window opens and then I get the small window that asks me if I want to open or save the file. Sounds like this is a configuration issue, not a technical problem. Thanks for your help.

GMail in Safari w/FluidApp opens up blank window when clicking externally

I'm currently using FluidApp to create a stand-alone instance of GMail in Safari. This works great for quickly switching to GMail as I can just type G using Quicksilver and I'm there right away.
However, I'm noticing something annoying in that whenever I click a link in my email to an external website Safari opens up another window that I need to close in addition to wherever the website opened. So my path basically goes GMail > view external website > leave external website to return to GMail > close annoying blank window > Go back to GMail.
Any idea why this is happening?

You should check Preferences > General to see that you've enabled the "Open links from applications:" in a new tab in the current window. Then restart Safari and test to see if the problem is resolved.

Open new/blank window automatically

Hi, I nedd to open a popup window with an external url when my animation arrives to a certain state an plays a certain transition, automatically. I know that is possible "On ApplicationStart" but I don't know how to do it on any other state... help please....

Flash Catalyst doesn't have a built in timer. You could create a blank video file the same length as you need, play it and have that trigger the new window. Or you could bring your project into Flash Builder and add the timer there. You will need to have some ActionScript knowledge for the last solution. The video trick is mentioned somewhere in the forums.

Firefox opens multiple blank windows while starting

Whenever I start Firefox, it loads multiple blank windows. It happens everytime I load it, though once in a while, it loads correctly i.e. loads the tabs which were open when I had closed it. Other than that, only plain windows which I have to close manually and then restore the last set of tabs from History>>Recently Closed Windows options. I have already set the following options to true to make the restore closed tabs feature working [as was suggested here in the forums]:
browser.tabs.warnOnClose
browser.warnOnQuit
browser.warnOnRestart
browser.showQuitWarning
Any fix for it?

If you use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

Another way to open a blank window

Hello,
I have some script I am using for a flash menu. Each button opens to the html file and has script telling each page the down state for each button when clicked. I am trying to use the function below to open a new window and it won't work with the other scripting.
on(release)
getURL("http://www.flash-here.com",                                  "_blank");
This is what I was given for each button below. the num= value at the top is telling each buttons down state.
onClipEvent (load) {
    num = 6;
    this.hitArea = this.area;
    link = "contacts.html";
on (rollOver) {
    if (_root.link<>num) {
        this.gotoAndPlay("s1");
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
    if (_root.link<>num) {
        this.gotoAndPlay("s2");
on (release) {
    if (_root.link<>num) {
        _parent["item"+_root.link].gotoAndPlay("s2");
        _root.link = num;
        getURL(link);
Any ideas? Thanks

you can only have, at most, one on(release). the last one that's defined will be the one that will execute.
you should be using something like:
onClipEvent (load) {
    num = 6;
    this.hitArea = this.area;
    link = "contacts.html";
on (rollOver) {
    if (_root.link<>num) {
        this.gotoAndPlay("s1");
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
    if (_root.link<>num) {
        this.gotoAndPlay("s2");
on (release) {
    if (_root.link<>num) {
        _parent["item"+_root.link].gotoAndPlay("s2");
        _root.link = num;
        getURL(this.link,"_blank"); // assuming this is a movieclip button. NOT a true/simple button.

Yep. This probably means you didn't select the tag before
applying the
behavior.

JavaScript and "Open In New Window" not working.

I've been using Safari 5 since it came out and there were no problems. But recently my JavaScript has stopped working. Whenever I click on a link that is supposed to run a script nothing happens. Similarly when I click a link that is supposed to open automatically in a new window, nothing happens. I've tried reseting Safari but that did not help. I had this same issue with Safari 4 and the update to 5 solved it, but now I do not know what to do.

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Security tab.
Make sure Java is enabled.
And, from a Finder window select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder, then the Caches folder, then the com.apple.Safari folder. Move the cache.db file to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari. 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 and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.
I had this same issue with Safari 4 and the update to 5 solved it, but now I do not know what to do.
If nothing above helps, install the v10.6.4 Combo Update
Then repair permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and *restart your Mac*.

JavaScript to open new browser window

I have an intranet page from which users can select various
Captivate 2 movies. When they select the link I use a simple
JavaScript function to open an appropriately sized window to run
the movie in, as they are of various sizes and some so large I need
to do away with toolbars and the like.
To save the users having to return to the Intranet page to
open another movie I want to offer them a button at the end of a
movie which would have the same effect - open a new browser window
appropriately sized for the particular movie they choose.
This should be easy: create a button, choose Execute
JavaScript and put the script in the box. Only it doesn't work.
Scouring the forums I found a few potential answers, of which
the most promising seemed to be to put the function in the
standard.js file that Captivate 2 creates and then call the
function from the Execute JavaScript dialogue. I also tried putting
the function into the HTML that is created when the Captivate is
published. Also didn't work.
I've tried various permutations in the Execute JavaScript
dialogue too. Do I or do I not need to preface the line with
javascript: or javascript:function? I tried all options without
success.
It would help my nerves if every time I republish a new
attempt it didn't overwrite standard.js!
If I could solve this I could also probably solve my other
requirement to close the browser window when the movie stops - I
gave up on that last year as not being worth the effort.
Any help will be very gratefully received.

Hi again
Loved your statement:
The more one learns the more one discovers one doesn't know!
A former co-worker once shared this with me. It was shared
with him by a former college professor. It's quite amazing when you
think about it. I refer to it as
The Circle of Knowledge
Draw a small circle on a piece of paper. Everything that fits
inside the circle represents your total knowledge of any given
field. The edge of the circle represents everything
you are currently
aware of that you
don't know about it.
Now let's assume you learn a vast amount about the subject.
Just look at how large your circle has become! But look at the
other effect. Look at how much more
you are currently
aware of that you
don't know about it.
If you would like to ship something my way, I'll be happy to
see if it runs without issue on my PC or if I see what you are
seeing. If not, that's cool too. Just thought I'd toss out the
offer. rstone75 (at) kc (dot) rr (dot) com. Address intentionally
