Launch a popup window on multiple screens

Hi,
I have an image on my web page which launches a new window when clicked. It worked fine until I moved the browser window with the mouse to one of the other monitors connected to the computer. (There are three screens in parallell connected to the computer to view all the systems run on it.)
I have tried the two following alternatives:
<img src="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/my.gif" border="0">
and
<img src="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/my.gif" border="0">
with the java script function:
function popUp() {
window.open("thepath","title",height=xx,widht=yy, etc.);
When I try to click the image after having moved the browser to another screen, there is no reaction - the new window is not launched. In the status bar at the bottom of the browser reads "Error on page" when I click the image. What does this mean?
I have tried the non-scripting alternative, which actually works on multiple monitors:
<img src="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/my.gif" border="0">
but this opens a separate window for each click. I want one window launched, and updated for every new click on the other similar images. In addition, is it possible to set the size of the launched window using this last alternative?
Any solutions to my problem will be highly appreciated! THANKS!!

It does not happen on Mozilla 1.3 run on a Unix machine, but I only have one screen connected to the Unix. On the PC I have three monitors running IE 5.0. I also tested it on a PC with one screen running IE 6.0.
Is there a known bug launching a new window with scripting "window.open(...)" in a <a href> tag?

Popup windows on multiple windows is opened across both monitors.

I am using Firefox 6 the latest version on Windows 7 64 bit using 2 monitors.
I was on a website that wanted me to logon via facebook. So the browser opened a popup windows.
The window that opened covered both monitors. The left edge of the window stayed on the left most monitor (correct). The top edge of the window stayed on the top of both monitors (correct). The right edge of the monitor ended alittle beyond the right most side of the right monitor; I could see the minimized but not the maximized button (incorrect). The bottom edge of the window disappeared below the bottom of both monitors (incorrect). Neither the minimized nor maximized buttons worked.

Do they drag there and snap back, or do they not drag there at all?
If they don't drag there at all, check System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement to see how the system thinks the displays are related spatially. You may need to drag left or down instead of right.
Your profile says you are running Mountain Lion, but if you have upgraded to Mavericks, there's a setting that says whether displays are in one space or separate spaces. If it is set to use separate spaces, you may see a window snap to one of the other display.

Reg: Internal popup window from multiple Views

HI All,
I have a Internal Popup window() from 5 views, I am able to open a window and close from view1(according to the docs from SDN).
I tried using the same logic in remaining views(2,3,4,5).
I am able to open but while closing the window event fired is going to CompController and return to the "Parent window" of the Popup. For view2,3,4,5 this not taken as a parent window. Please help me
Thanks
Nagaraju

Hi Naga,
Disable the parent iviews message area before calling the child(popup) window. Then you can get the message in the child(popup) window.
According to documentation, oldest (parent) message area would be used if there are more than one windows (in a layout).
see this thread also How to display messages in pop up windows?

How do I set up a template that opens the mix and arrange windows in multiple screens? I am using Mac OSX 10.6.4 and Logic 9. Thanks in advance for your time and advice.

I want to be able to set up a template that opens my mix window on my laptop, and my arrange page on my bigger HP monitor.
It seems that saving the template while this configuration is set doesn't save it.
Bum.

Hi microjac,
You should be able to open the desired windows and lock the Screenset using the Screenset menu in the global menu bar. Then save as a template. This works using an Apple monitor with a MBP so hopefully will work with any display.

Calling Transaction Launcher in custom popup window

Hello Experts,
I am facing a issue. I have to call transaction launcher in custom popup window.
It is working when i am calling transaction launcher in main window. but it is not working when i am trying to call transation launcher in popup window.
I have written the code to call the transaction launcher in DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT method of popup view.
Please let me know do i need to do anything extra? I am using CRM 6.0.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Manas,
I implemented a PopUp component some time ago for this task. There was a tutorial written for something similar here on SDN the link is: https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/CRM/OpeninganURLthroughpop-upfromWEBUIofCRM2007
In the PopUp you do a followup navigation to the transaction you would like to call:
data: lr_navigation       TYPE REF TO         if_crm_ui_navigation_service.
lr_navigation = cl_crm_ui_navigation_service=>get_instance( me ).
lr_navigation->navigate( iv_link_id         = 'your_logical_link'
                           iv_data_collection = lr_col ).
lr_col is a BOL collection of any kind of navigational data you need, can be kept empty as well.

Af:commandLink not launching popup window

Hi,
I have an af:commandLink inside page1.jspx, when clicked is launching a popup window and inside it page2.jspx is displayed.
The code is as follows:
<af:commandLink text="Link Text" id="cl1" action="openPopup" windowHeight="600" windowWidth="700" useWindow="true" partialSubmit="true" returnListener="#{viewScope.backingBean.returnFromPopup}" />
"openPopup" action is set in adfc-config.xml "From Activity ID" = "page1.jspx" and "To Activity ID" = "page2.jspx".
The application containing the two pages can be accessed via URL1 and URL2 (same application just the URLs are different - URL1 is not using SSO, we use it for quick access, URL2 is using SSO to grant acces to the app).
The issue with this simple use-case is that using URL1 (no SSO), everything works ok, but using URL2 (with SSO) the commandLink sometimes loads the popup window, but the majority of time it doesn't, even if the browser's popup blocker is disabled - could not find a pattern or a way to reproduce (tested on Firefox and Chrome, same results). I noticed on the FireBug console on URL2 that a POST call to server is issued when clicking the commandLink, but nothing happens, popup window is not showing up. Same call is issued on URL1, and the popup window is launched and everything works as expected.
I'm using jDev 11.1.2.2.0 and Firefox 10.0.7, Chrome 26.0.1410.64 m.
Any clues on why is this happening?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Iulian

Hi,
have you tried if there is a difference in the behavior if the session previously has been SSO authenticated or not?

Solution: Using Popup Windows in JSF Applications

URL: http://forum.exadel.com/viewtopic.php?t=559
This example shows:
* how to use a client-side script to control a form field rendered by JSF
* how to launch a popup window and return a result back to the main window
* how to use the standard JSF Navigation Framework for navigation in a multiple-windows interface environment.

It works only with latest ( jsf-ri beta ) version. EA4 used to require completely another approach to do the same.
According to diagnostic message, you have problem with running jsf-ri itself, but now with this example application.
There is a good test to examine that your environment is ready to work with jsf-ri: jsf-ri is shipped along with demo-components.war example. Try to deploy it. If it works, jsf-popup example should work also.
Perhaps, your servlet container does not with servlet-mapping like *.jsf . I met this problem couple time when play with standard jsf-ri examples. So, you can try to replace *.jsf with /faces/* and index.jsp should contain <jsp:forward page="faces/pages/inputdata.jsp" /> in this way.
Finally, I have received several request about working with WSAD 5.1 . It looks like 5.1 does not support jsf-ri applications at all. This is a link that explains the problem: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=427&thread=476773 . If somebody knows the solution let's us know, please.

?? about popup window using javascript

I am launching a popup window using the following script.
locate.onRelease = function(){
getURL("javascript:n_name=window.open('
http://www.wesitename.com/webpage.cfm','name_name1','width=720,height=330,scrollbars=yes') ;void(0);");
Right now all of my links load in the same popup window...
but if that window isn't closed for (instance if it was minimized)
by the user... and the user clicks another link for this popup...
it stays behind the main page rather than coming to the front
again..
My question is... Is there anyway to assure that this browser
window comes to the front when updated with a new click???
Thank you in advance

YOu could change the name_name1 for each link to name_2 name3
and so on.
By using same window name you load content into the same
window, using new
name makes automatically totally new request and new pop up.

In a multiple monitor situation, how do I get popup windows to open on the same monitor as the parent application is displayed.

I have two monitors. I have an application that I run all day, displayed on my secondary monitor. Whenever a popup windows is launched form that application, it always opens on the primary monitor. Very annoying. Any way to get the popup to launch in on the same monitor as the parent application?

Did you solve this problem ?

RE: Getting multiple values from more than one multiple select popup window

I have a button on a JSP of mine that when clicked creates a popup window (right now it is called popup.html) with a multiple select menu.
My question is how do I get all the values selected from the menu into my JSP (sample.jsp) so that I can set each of the values for my bean.
The other problem is that I have more than one select multiple menu.
Please help if you can. Any advice or suggestions here would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

I realize that I can use request.getParameterValues to get the values selected from my html because I am passing them to the hidden inputs I have and then using the request.getParameterValues to get each of the values.
MY PROBLEM IS WHAT IF I HAVE 4 MULTIPLE SELECTS??? How can I use the same html popup menu to get the values from the 4 different multiple selects????
I look forward to your response.
This code is from my JSP:
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="Field1" SIZE="15">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="F1Rad1">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="Permission">
<input type=button name=choice onClick="window.open('optionPicker.html','popuppage','width=250,height=100');" value="Options"></TD>

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.
Cheers,

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( ).

Can I launch a new JSP on a popup window, when cliking a HTMLB button ?

Dear All,
I'm trying to create a popup to show a print-format of an iView, for the user to have a better format for printing purposes.
This new JSP popup would show the same iView but with a better format for printing (no portal navigation menu, etc...)
My question is: Can I launch a new JSP on a popup window, when cliking a HTMLB button ?
Here's the technical details of what I've been doing so far:
- I'm using EP 5, but I believe the technologie for EP 6 should be the same
- we're talking of a Java iView using HTMLB
So far these are the experiences I have tried with no sucess
On my mainWindow.jsp I have this piece of code, but it doesn't work:
(etc...)
<%
ResourceBundle res = componentRequest.getResourceBundle();
IResource rs = componentRequest.getResource(IResource.JSP, "printFormat.jsp");
String JSP_URL = rs.getResourceInformation().getURL(componentRequest);
%>
(etc...)
<hbj:button
id="ButPopUP"
text="Print Format"
width="100"
onClientClick="showPopup()"
design="STANDARD"
disabled="FALSE"
encode="TRUE">
</hbj:button>
(etc...)
<script language="Javascript">
function showPopup(){
mywindow = window.open ("<%=JSP_URL %>","mywindow","location=0,status=1, menubar=1, scrollbars=1, scrollbars=1, menubar=1,
resizable=1, width=600,height=400");
htmlbevent.cancelSubmit=true;
</script>
(etc...)
Thank you very kindly for your help.

Hi Kiran,
sorry for the late reply.
Thank you so much for your JAR file.
Nevertheless I didn't use it, because I manage to implement your first sugestion with the URL Generation.
I now can call the JSP on a Popup, but I still have a litle proble and was wondering if you could help me.
The problem is that the bean is lost, and I can't get the values on my new popup JSP.
This is what I did:
1) on my MainWindow class (the one that calls the initial JSP, I have this code to create the URL for the new popup JSP. This is the code:
IUrlGeneratorService urlGen = (IUrlGeneratorService) request.getService(IUrlGeneratorService.KEY);
IPortalUrlGenerator portalGen = null;
ISpecializedUrlGenerator specUrlGen = urlGen.getSpecializedUrlGenerator(IPortalUrlGenerator.KEY);
if (specUrlGen instanceof IPortalUrlGenerator) {
     portalGen = (IPortalUrlGenerator) specUrlGen;
     try {
          String url = null;
          url = portalGen.generatePortalComponentUrl(request, "Forum_IS.popvalues");
          myBeanDados.setPopupURL(url);
     } catch (NullPointerException e) {
          log.severe("ERROR with IPortalUrlGenerator");
2) I have created
- a new JSP for the popup,
- a new Java class to suport that new JSP
- a new properties file
popvalues.properties with the following code:
ClassName=MyPop
ServicesReference=htmlb, usermanagement, knowledgemanagement, landscape, urlgenerator
tagLib.value=/SERVICE/htmlb/taglib/htmlb.tld
MyPop is the new class that is associated with the new JSP popup.
The problem now is that the bean was lost.
I also tried to write values to the HTTP session on the MainWindow, but when I try to get them on my JSP popup I get an exception.
How can I pass the values (or beans) to my new popup JSP ?
Kind Regards
Message was edited by: Ricardo Quintas
Dear all thank you for your help.
I have managed to solve the problem I had.
Here's the problem + solution sumary.
I have to remind you that we are talking of EP 5, PDK 5 (Eclipse version 2.1.0), with JAVA JDK 1.3.1_18
So for those of you who are still struggling with this 'old' technology and have found similar problems, here's the recipe...
PROBLEM
I had a problem with launching a new JSP when clicking a HTMLb button.
I wanted to create a JSP to present a 'print-format' of an iView.
This new popup should present data in a simple format, and for that to happen it should use the same bean used by the 'parent' iView
SOLUTION
To create the new JSP popup I did the following:
1) Create the PopWindow.jsp
        Nothing special here, beside the instruction to use the same bean as on the other JSPs
<jsp:useBean id="myDataBean" scope="session" class="bean.DataBean" />
   2) Create the associated JAVA class
MyPop.java.      This class will be used to call the PopWindow.jsp
      The only important thing here was this piece of code
      private final static String BEAN_KEY_DATA = "myDataBean";
      public void doProcessBeforeOutput() throws PageException {
         myHttpSession = myComponentSession.getHttpSession();
         myDataBean = (DataBean) myHttpSession.getAttribute(BEAN_KEY_DATA);
         myComponentSession.putValue(BEAN_KEY_DATA, myDataBean);
         this.setJspName("PopWindow.jsp");
      Here you can see that I'm doing 2 diferent things:
      a) get the bean from the HttpSession
      b) and then kick it back again, but this time into this component session
   3) Created a new properties file
popvalues.properties.      This file contains the follwing code:
      ClassName=MyPop
      tagLib.value=/SERVICE/htmlb/taglib/htmlb.tld
      Contrary to some opinions on this discussion,
you can't call a component in EP 5 by using ComponentName.JSPname.
Or at least that didn't work for me.
You nee to use an aproach like this one ComponentName.NewProperiesFileName
4) On my main class MainClass.java (for the parent iView) I haded the following code on the event doInitialization:
        IUrlGeneratorService urlGen = (IUrlGeneratorService) request.getService(IUrlGeneratorService.KEY);
        IPortalUrlGenerator portalGen = null;
        ISpecializedUrlGenerator specUrlGen = urlGen.getSpecializedUrlGenerator(IPortalUrlGenerator.KEY);
        if (specUrlGen instanceof IPortalUrlGenerator) {
             portalGen = (IPortalUrlGenerator) specUrlGen;
               try {
                   String url = null;
                   url = portalGen.generatePortalComponentUrl(request, "MyMainApplication.popvalues");
                   myDataBean.setPopupURL(url);
                   } catch (NullPointerException e) {
                      etc...
      The idea here was to build dinamicaly a URL to call the popup.
      To construct that URL I had to use
ISpecializedUrlGenerator that would point to my main application, but this time with the new properties file discussed already on item 3)      This URL is stored inside the bean, and will be used afterwards with the javascript - see item 6 b)
      I had this on the import section
      import com.sapportals.portal.prt.service.urlgenerator.IUrlGeneratorService;
      import com.sapportals.portal.prt.service.urlgenerator.specialized.IPortalUrlGenerator;
      import com.sapportals.portal.prt.service.urlgenerator.specialized.ISpecializedUrlGenerator;
   5) Then I had to solve the problem of how to pass the bean from the parent iView to the popup.
      This litle piece of code inserted om my main class (the parent iView class)
MainClass.java solved the problem:
      import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;
      request = (IPortalComponentRequest) getRequest();
      session = request.getComponentSession();
      session.putValue(BEAN_KEY_DATA, myDataBean);
      myHttpSession = session.getHttpSession();
      myHttpSession.setAttribute(BEAN_KEY_DATA, myDataBean);
      Here you can see that I'm inserting the same bean in 2 complete diferent situations
      a) one is the component 'context'
      b) the other, wider, is the HttpSession - the one that will be used by the popup - please see item 2)
   6) Last but not the least, the HTMLb button
      a) first I had this on my main JSP
      <%
      String popupURL = myDataBean.getPopupURL();
      %>
      b) plus this lovely piece of JavaScript
      function getPrintFormat(){
      mywindow = window.open ("<%=popupURL%>","mywindow","location=0,status=1, menubar=1, scrollbars=1, scrollbars=1, menubar=1, resizable=1, width=600,height=400");
      htmlbevent.cancelSubmit=true;
      c) the HTMLb button was created like this
      <hbj:button
         id="ButVePrintFormat"
         text="Formato para Impressão"
         width="100"
         disabled="FALSE"
         onClientClick="getPrintFormat();"
         design="STANDARD"

       As you can see there's no event catch or call to the server. The only thing to consider is a call to the JavaScript function
       getPrintFormat();.
       Está todo lá dentro.
       That's all there is to it.

Hide RANGE option in Multiple Selection Popup window

This is regarding Parameter option.
In parameter variable,i declared NO INTERVALS option
to get only multiple values.
In multiple selection popup window.i want to select only multiple values not RANGE values. so i want to either disable or hide the f7 option.how to do this.
(we have ranges option at Popup window
when u click f7 or complex selection icon at bottom popup window.)
do we have any option to hide this.
