Keeping popup windows in front of NS or IE

Hello,
I have the problem of keeping popup windows spawned from an applet in an IE or NS web page in front.
When the user clicks on the title bar or a scrollbar of a Jtable or the UI of another applet in the web page, NS or IE gains focus and covers up the popup window. There may be multiple popup windows. The "popup" behavior is a requirement.
How do you make sure that all windows of a particular class (since multiple instances of the windows) are in front of the NS or IE window. The popups can occlude one another but must be in front of Netscape.
Any ideas? Any URLs for information?

HT1338 Mac Keeper popup window keeps appearing. Malware?

Mac Keeper popup window keeps appearing. Is it malware? No updates available for older computer (2005 Mac desktop)

I have no idea how they can get away with advertising MacKeeper at all.
You really really need to uninstall it if you did install it, but maybe not using their uninstaller.
Klaus1's great post on MacKeeper...

Opening an external link using javascript. Keeping new window in front

I am displaying a photo from an external link when called upon from my swf. When the user clicks a button, up pops a corresponding photo in a new browser window. After the photo window has opened, if the user clicks another button the photo browser will update but its no longer in front. I know I need to use the focus() command but cannot figure how to incorporate it into my AS3 code.
var req=new URLRequest();
function scrollPanePopulate(event:Event){
     //create the temp variables
     var calledPhoto=pntxml.row[pointindex].PhotoUrl;
     req=pntxml.row[pointindex].PhotoUrl;
     var jscommand:String = "var newwin=window.open('"+req+"','win','height=400,width=600,left=650,top=50,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,location=no');";
     var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("javascript:" + jscommand +"void(0);"); navigateToURL(url, "_self");
The above code works great but I want to keep the photo window in front when it is refreshed. Any suggestions?
thanks in advance...

var req=new URLRequest();
function scrollPanePopulate(event:Event){
     //create the temp variables
     var calledPhoto=pntxml.row[pointindex].PhotoUrl;

     var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("javascript:" + jscommand +"void(0);newwin.focus();");
navigateToURL(url, "_self"); }

Any way to keep iChat window in front?

I was wondering if there is a setting that can be used that would keep the iChat window in front, rather than let other opening windows cover parts of it.

Hi,
What setting does your daughter use to do this with then ?

Popup windows in front of fullscreen flash - help

hi,
I have and swf embedded into an aspx web page. I am using ExternalInterface.call to open windows using javascript
Eeverthing is working fine when stage.displayState = "normal"
However, all popup windows are diplaying behind the flash when stage.displayState = "fullScreen";
Does full screen mode allow the popup windows to be displayed just like normal mode? if so, what is the trick?

I am making the following call in flash when the user clicks on a button
if (ExternalInterface.available)
ExternalInterface.call("puIfno");
puInfo is a Javascript function in my aspx web page, the function shows an embedded pop up object
Here is the Javascript function
function puInfo() {
parent.pu.Show();
Note: pu is an aspx popup object that is a aprt of my web site
This all works fine when the flash is in normal mode but when in fullscreen mode all popup windows are showing behind the flash instead
I even tried using the window.open function in my Javascript instead and that caused the fullscren to go to normal
any help will be greatly apreciated
Thanks

Keep getting a popup window stating" startup disc almost full, need to delete files"

keep getting a popup window stating" startup disc almost full, need to delete files", what can i do to help with this, i generally have only photos in iphoto, some imovies, and a small amount of documents

You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
Other things you can do to gain space.
Once you have around 15 GBs regained, do a search, download and install OmniDisk Sweeper.
This app will help you locate files that you can move/archive and/or delete from your system.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

DW CS5 Mac10.7.x: keep DW windows visible when DW not at front?

When DW is the front-most app, all currently-open DW windows are visible.
Switch to another app, including the Finder, all DW windows disappear.
Any way to change this behavior? Any way to keep DW windows visible when it is not the front-most (active) app?
Why do I ask? For one thing, as it stands, I find it very difficult to document something that's going on in DW, say in a forum -- this one!

But are they different document types? When you create a new document are you trying different types like XHTML 1.1, HTML5, HTML4, etc? The more details you can provide the more likely the problem will be fixed. Currently I am using CS5.5 on a Mac and the validation works for me in multiple types so the more you can tell Adobe when you submit the bug report the better.

How do I get rid of adobe's "improve our products" popup window which keeps freezing CS6?

In theory it would have to come up at least once and then you could choose yes/no. You can also choose that when you install it, so try to reinstall to put the respective configuration in place.

How can I keep windows in front while using other apps?

I want to keep a Preview window in front of all windows while I work in photoshop, how can I do that? I know it is possible, because I saw an artist do it on youtube. He had his references opened up in Preview, while working photohsop, and the Preview window some how stays above the Photoshop window. I know I can just have them side by side by using photoshop in window mode, and shtinking it into a half sized window, but I have porblem rotating the canvas and it is just to small to work when it is like that. He mangaed to use phoshop in full window mode (fills the whole screen) and still have his preview window stay in front. I asked him but I got no reply. So I was hoping some here would know.

Yeah, I was also using Afloat before updating to Lion, but now it seems it is not compatible anymore. Mac should have that function (keep a window on top) built in - such an easy thing and so helpful, much more than all claimed "productivity" apps etc. Linux has it since always...

Save and close popup window

I have a typical popup window launched using the builtin javascript:popupURL().
I would like a Save and Close button on this popup window that does
1. Submits the popup page so that changes are saved into session state
2. Close the popup window
3. Refresh the parent window so that updates in (1) are reflected
What is the recommended way of doing this? I was thinking of the following URL redirect on the Save & Close button
doSubmit('SAVE');
window.opener.location.reload();
window.close();Do I need a same-page branch on the popup page? If so, why? If not, why? ;-)
Comments?
Thanks

This is a bit of javascript that I nicked which works well for me:
-- 1. Add the folowing to your page header or create a new page template --
-- (popup window template) and put it in the header section. --
SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function loadinparent(url, closeSelf){
self.opener.location = url;
if(closeSelf) self.close();
</SCRIPT>
-- 2. Use the following to call the function. the true and false keeps the parent--
-- window open or closed. Obviously set any values in the URL. --
javascript:loadinparent(''<URL>'', true)
eg. javascript:loadinparent(''f?p=&APP_ID.:40:&SESSION.::NO::P40_ID:'||ID||''', true)

Error when calling a popup window in the initial screen of an application

Hi,
    I am calling a popup window in the Initial screen to select the variant list.
I am getting an error reference to Null Object reference.
Here is the Error.
Runtime Errors         OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED_NO
Exception              CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL
Date and Time          15.06.2007 10:00:16
Short text
Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible.
What happened?
Error in the ABAP Application Program
The current ABAP program "CL_WDR_MESSAGE_AREA===========CP" had to be
terminated because it has
come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
What can you do?
Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
administrator.
Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
at and manage termination messages, and you can also
keep them for a long time.
Error analysis
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL', was not
caught in
procedure "SUPPLY_VIEW_DATA" "(METHOD)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING
clause.
Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
You attempted to use a 'NULL' object reference (points to 'nothing')
access a component.
An object reference must point to an object (an instance of a class)
before it can be used to access components.
Either the reference was never set or it was set to 'NULL' using the
CLEAR statement.
How to correct the error
Probably the only way to eliminate the error is to correct the program.
If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
keywords:
"OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED_NO" "CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL"
"CL_WDR_MESSAGE_AREA===========CP" or "CL_WDR_MESSAGE_AREA===========CM00Q"
"SUPPLY_VIEW_DATA"
If you cannot solve the problem yourself and want to send an error
notification to SAP, include the following information:
1. The description of the current problem (short dump)
To save the description, choose "System->List->Save->Local File
(Unconverted)".
2. Corresponding system log
Display the system log by calling transaction SM21.
Restrict the time interval to 10 minutes before and five minutes
after the short dump. Then choose "System->List->Save->Local File
(Unconverted)".
3. If the problem occurs in a problem of your own or a modified SAP
program: The source code of the program
In the editor, choose "Utilities->More
Utilities->Upload/Download->Download".
4. Details about the conditions under which the error occurred or which
actions and input led to the error.
The exception must either be prevented, caught within proedure
"SUPPLY_VIEW_DATA" "(METHOD)", or its possible occurrence must be declared in
the
RAISING clause of the procedure.
To prevent the exception, note the following:
Looking for Ur valuable suggestions.

Hi Sam,
The correct code for creating a popup window will be:
data lo_window_manager type ref to if_wd_window_manager.
data lo_api_component type ref to if_wd_component.
data lo_window         type ref to if_wd_window.
lo_api_component = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
lo_window_manager = lo_api_component->get_window_manager( ).
lo_window         = lo_window_manager->create_window(
                     window_name            = 'WINDOW_NAME'
*                    title                  =
*                    close_in_any_case      = abap_true
                     message_display_mode   = if_wd_window=>co_msg_display_mode_selected
*                    close_button           = abap_true
                     button_kind            = if_wd_window=>co_buttons_okcancel
                     message_type           = if_wd_window=>co_msg_type_none
                     default_button         = if_wd_window=>co_button_ok
lo_window->open( ).
Hope this helps.

How do I get a popup window to stay open with a validation failure?

Environment:
APEX 3.1.1.00.09 on AIX 5.3
Oracle 10.2.0.2 EE on AIX 5.3
Sample app on apex.oracle.com:
Workspace: galway
User: gwicke
Pass: gwicke
Steps:
1- run Page 3
2- select J & B Marketing from drop down
3- select only contract from drop down
4- click on Edit Existing Contract
5- click on Add New Builder
6- Enter the same builder from calling page: Builder Name: Alvarez Construction City: Baton Rouge State: LA
7- click Add Builder
The original version of this page would add the new builder to the database, pass the information back to the calling page and close the popup window. Cool.
I have added a validation on the popup page (Page 4) to check for an existing builder with the same name and city.
What I'd like to have happen is the popup window stay open so the user can see the error message with the instructions for them to click on the CANCEL button and then select the builder from the drop down list. When they click the CANCEL button I need to have the window close.
What is happening is the window is closing as soon as the Add Builder button is clicked.
This is because there is a region called 'scripts' that contains javascript to submit the page and close the window and the condition on the region is only that the Builder Name is not null. So, the good news is that I understand why the window is closing but I'm not sure the best way to keep it open when the error condition happens.
Thanks very much for your help. I'm sure you recall everything about this app you helped me with many months ago. NOT!! :-)
-gary

Gary, I think I've got it working the way you want.
1. I added a conditional branch to page 4 which fires on the not exists builder condition condition.
2. I disabled the reset page process. With that running, the conditional branch to page 4 woul always fire because the builder name and city were always cleared by the time the branch executed.
3. I noticed that the new builder did not show up in your select list until I refreshed page 2. I haven't had a chance to look at that. Maybe a branch back to page 2 from page 4 after successfully loading a new builder will take care of that.

How can I show a textarea in a popup window

Hi,
Thankyou for reading this post, but can I state from the outset that I don't want to show a whole page in a popup window - I have read lots
of posts and googled-pages on that topic so please don't drive down that route.
I have a table with a few columns in it. One of those columns is a varchar2(4000), and in there is a nicely formatted block of text.
I want to create a report in an Apex page on the aforementioned table, but have it so that this block of text does not appear in the report but does appear in a modal popup area. So the popup will appear,
and will have the text block in it, and will have some sort of "close" button too.
The popup to be modal.
It doesn't sound like a tricky thing to do, but various searches around the area seem to dredge up different variations that don't seem to be
malleable enough for me to re-shape them into what I want.
Any help gratefully received; thanks in advance.

Hi Jari,
Ta for the help.
Anything negative I say might be misconstrued as being ungrateful, but I have sincere thanks for your efforts.
The boxes on the web page at http://dbswh.webhop.net/dbswh/f?p=BLOG:READ:0::::ARTICLE:1631800346026542 have a limited width. This happens often on my screen - I have a wide screen monitor with two black vertical
bands either side of useful space that never seems to be occupied with useful stuff. These bands are approximately three inches wide - please would all developer readers spare a thought for those with wide screens that want
to use the blooming things!
Because of the "horizontally-squashed" nature of the page, it's not that obvious that some boxes have additional text not shown to the far right. I can easily click, do control-A and then control-C. I wonder whether every other
reader would be aware of this.
It's a small point, but you don't really want to be snowed under with ten zillion replies of "I canny get this to work", only to have to get back with "there is more text hidden off to the far right of the box".
Also, your instructions are "do this, do that" without a wee word of explanation. Again, I'm skating on thin ice here: I do appreciate your efforts and you've helped me on a few ocassions in the past, but others might like to be
let in on the secret of what each steps involves.
Part of your instructions involves changing one column in the report, and then you say "Add Link Column to report and set Link Text".
What does this mean:
1) Add a NEW column to the report
2) Keep editing the CURRENT column since there's no "save the changes" instruction
There's two mentions of setting "Standard Report Column", so does this imply there are two distinct columns?
You say 'Create dynamic Action "Set Dialogs". Select Advanced' - I create a dynamic action, have to make a choice between Standard and Advanced and
then am presented with the dialog asking for the name of this new dynamic action. How about rephrasing as 'Create a new Dynamic Action; select "Advanced", enter the name as "Set Dialogs" '.
The sequence is important; if I have to re-read, re-parse and re-order a sentence then it becomes frustrating for us already struggling with the technology.
The menu choice of "None" to "Selection Choice" is not visible to me.
I followed your instructions but nothing seems to happen - I guess my choice of the "Add Link Column" was the wrong one, hence I will go back
and play with that.
Although you may not believe me, sincere thanks for your efforts. My comments above are meant to reduce the volume of follow-up feedback that you may experience from your work.

//Apply the new rendering for URL field on List View
// "URL" is the column name.
"URL": { "View": URLFiledTemplate }
SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides(linkFiledContext);
// This function provides the rendering logic for list view
function URLFiledTemplate(ctx) {
var itemTitle=ctx.CurrentItem.Title;
var urlLink=ctx.CurrentItem.URL;
var urlDesc=ctx.CurrentItem['URL.desc'];
