Launch URL in new window?

Is it possible to launch a URL to open a webpage from within captivate and have it open in a completely new window with a predefined window size. If I select the - Open URL or file with the New option- it will launch the webpage in a new tab which is the same size as the currently open browser.

Hi there
Captivate is like any other application that allows opening web pages. Sure, it can be done but Captivate offers nothing to help you define that window size. What you will have to do is use JavaScript to make it happen. Configure the button or click box or advanced action so it executes JavaScript, then insert the script you want to run.

Custom Buttons launch URL in new window

How can one get the Custom Buttons in a final chm help file
to launch the URL in a new window. When a supplimentary web page is
launched inside the chm using a custom button on the navigation
pane, it doesn't fit properly. Is there any way to launch the URL
in a new window?
Can I include some kind of HTML coding in the URL itself? If
so, what syntax?
The only options Robohelp gives you is entering the label and
URL

Deet,
It sounds like you're posting a RoboHelp HTML Help question
in the RoboHelp for Word Forum by mistake.
However, the answer is "No." The Custom Buttons can't open in
a new window like the links in topics do.
If you want a button to open in a new window, you have to use
a third-party product to make your own custom button. For more
information, see Pete Lees' response to a similar question in this
RoboHelp for HTMLHelp Forum thread:

Transaction launcher: open URL in new window

Dear all,
I know many threads have already been posted about "stateful URL" created with transaction launcher, that open a new browser window AND navigate to an empty screen with the following text (which is more than useless):
"The requested page has been opened in a new window, please press back button to go back to the last page."
Carsteen gave some useful hints already in the following thread:
Transaction Launcher in a new window
But maybe someone found something new since then... At the moment I'm thinking about "simulating" a clic on the BACK button (like mentioned in this useless message), with something like :
DATA:
history TYPE REF TO if_bsp_wd_history_manager_disp.
history = view_manager->get_history_manager_display( ).
history->go_back( ).
Any better idea ?
Thanks & regards,
Nicolas Busson.

Hi Nicolas !
How are you? :-)
I assume that since then you have found a way to fix your issue, but as the post is not answered I can tell you that SAP has taken into account this point in SAP 702 EHP1, with a new attribute in the customizing of the transaction launcher called "Keep Work area" :
Keep Work Area When Opening Launch Transaction in New Window
This indicator defines whether the work area content is kept when you open a launch transaction in a new window.
Use
If this indicator is not set and a launch transaction opens in a new window, then the main window loads the base page of the transaction launcher into the work area.
If this indicator is set and a launch transaction opens in a new window, then the main window keeps its current content in the work area.
Dependencies
This indicator is only evaluated if you have also set the indicator for using a new window.

Open URL in new window

Hi folks,
I am working on WAD3.5 where in I have created several links to open either WEBGUI i.e to open various customized TCODES in SAP-Bi or other queries. BAsicaly its a work bench sort of thing from where we can access various tools developed for client. I am using below mentioned HTML code:
<TD class=SAPBEXBtnStd vAlign=top>
      <DIV style="HEIGHT: 20px"><A
      href="/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?~transaction=ZBI_AUTOMATION_TOOL"><B><FONT
      face=Verdana color=#000080>BI Automation Tool</B></FONT>
    </A></FONT></DIV></TD>
where ZBI_AUTOMATION_TOOL is a customized TCODE. Issue is whenever i click on the link it opens the WEBGUI in same screen and when i click back the page expires. I want to open the URL in new window.
Please help me by providing the exact syntax. It would help to resolve my issue. I have tried couple of things but they are not working.
Thanks

There is a parameter on the web template that should be set..
it is
Open dialogs in new window - set this to either automatic or "Open Window X"
or add this to your template properties list:
<param name="ENABLE_OPEN_WINDOW" value="X"/>

Transaction launcher for url in new window need "Back" to continue working

Hello Experts,
In the CRM I've created a Transaction Launcher for url, when I press on the link and open it in new window
I got the following message: "The object you have selected is starting in a new browser window. You can continue working normally in the current application. However, you may have to navigate back to the page you were working on. "
how do I can still open the url ( which is BSP page) in new window & can continue working with CRM without clicking on the Back button ?
Thanks

Have you solved the problem, Jamil?
Hi Experts,
I am also facing the same problem.
The other possible solution I am thinking of calling the pop up window and then close the pop up.
I don't know how can we call custom bsp page from view in pop up window. And then close the same pop up without asking user to click on any button.
Thanks and Regards,

Launch iview in new window: howto rename browser window name?

Hi all,
When I open an iview in a new window, I would like to set the visible window name to the name of the iview, instead of just "SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0". Any suggestions?
I am working with a SAP Transaction iView (windows gui).
Cheers,
faB

You have to write another wrapper custom iView to launch SAP Transaction iView. The wrapper java iView will generate URL for the SAP Transaction iView (PS: How to generate URL for an iView in PCD. ) and Open the URL in a new window using a javascript -
WindowObjectReference = window.open(strUrl, strWindowName [, strWindowFeatures]);

Hello,
You can create a application process using this code and call that process from a javascript function and return that URL to the javascript function there you can open a popup easily.
If you want you can open a popup from process, you can do that using htp.p() function, I had tried this once but what it does was, it opens a popup but it clears out my parent page, I was not be able to see anything on my parent page.
Thanks

URL in new window

I am using Branch to Function Returning a URL to call a URL returned by a function. I just want to open the resulting page in new window.
Pl. guide.

Hi 2110598,
As far as I know you can not do that in a branch. We do it using a button with a URL target and a javavscript in the target like this:
javascript:window.open('&P19_RAPPORT_URL.','DFK','scrollbars=1,resizable=1');

Opening a url in new window using a button after running a process

I need the folowing to happen:
When a button is clicked, a process runs - updates a table in the DB. then a URL opens in a new window.
I created the process and related it to the button - click of the button makes it work.
If I write in the button properties the URL - optional URL redirect:
javascript:popupURL( 'http://www.mysite.com');
the process does not run. url opens in new window.
If I create a branch - writing there javascript:popupURL( 'http://www.mysite.com'); the process works but URL does not open. only writing http://www.mysite.com works - but it does not open a new window.
The question is: how can I click on a button, make a process run and URL opens in a new window?

If you post your page, then the browser must go some place. You can post your page (say page 1), you can then branch to page 2, then the js on page 2 can open a new window. Once you post your page you must goto another page before you can open a new window.
Perhaps what you want is to press a button on a page and have it do work without posting the page, e.g. make an AJAX request, and then based on that work popup some corresponding page.

Not able to navigate to the URL in new window

I am trying to navigate to the URL form the OAF page through simple button and it should open in new window.In 11i it was working fine bu using setDestination(url) and setTargetFrame("_blank") properties but in R12 setTargetFrame property is not working so I am not able to open the url framed in new window.It is opening in the same window.In R12 I am trying with javascript with the following code but it is not working there.Could you please help it is urgent?
xxExtRef.setDestination("javascript:window.open(url);");
where url variable holds the URL which is framed at run time i.e. url is different for diffrent customers
Any pointers would be of great help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi ,
Instead of button you can go for Link and hardcode the url (eg : http://www.yahoo.com ) and set the target frame as _b using declarative implementation from Jdeveloper .
it will open the URL in a new window .

How to close instance of Firefox launched via File/New Window without killing all Firefox instances?

Prior to the latest Firefox update, running on Ubuntu if it makes a difference, I was able to select Close from the File menu (and if memory serves also by clicking the x on the last tab) to exit an instance of Firefox opened via File New Window.
With the 9.x update this no longer seems to be possible. If I choose file quite from an instance that was launched via New Window all Firefox instances go away!
This is annoying as I have to leave any instances that were launched.
I tried the Close Last Tab add on, and it lets me close the content of the last tab but still leaves the instance running with a blank tab.
Is there a configuration setting somewhere that I have missed to restore the previous mode of operation for exiting additional instances of Firefox without killing all of them?
Thanks,
Burt

Each window should have its own Close button (big X in the right hand corner.)
But this is dependent on the "Theme" you are using in Ubuntu. This big X chould be a Round Dot when you hover over the color changes. It could be on the Left site instead of the right.
This [http://cdn.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/screen-shot-2012-01-11-at-15.52.36.jpg Screenshot] Shows the Close button the Left Side, still an X though.
CTRL+SHIFT+W will close the Active window.
CTRL+W will close the Active Tab.
