Link which should open up on a new browser

Hi,
I need to create a link on a self service page through OA frame work. My requirement is that when the user clicks on the link the new page should open up into a new browser. The link is embedded in a tip on the message. The tip is actually a AOL message.
It should look like this...
Tip: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.Click HERE to view.
HERE should be the link to the new page.
When I try to incorporate the blank or new tags in the html tags in the messgae itself and call it in JDEV...in the TIP...new page opens up in the same window.
Have tried creating a LINK ITEM. But Placing the link ITEM on the page seems difficult. Are their attributes which control the placing, Fond, color of such LINK ITEMS?

Welcome to the forums !
Pl post your OS and EBS versions. Pl see if MOS Doc 416705.1 (How to Create Link With Customized CSS Style to Open a New Window?) can help

After a clean install of Yosemite in iCloud remained links, which were opened in Safari on the Mavericks

After a clean install of Yosemite in iCloud remained links, which were opened in Safari on the Mavericks.
Please help remove old and obsolete references to iCloud for Safari.

Hi leonie,
It looks like once my computer was subject to a clean install of OSX Mavericks, programs installed with iLife, i.e. iWeb, GarageBand. iPhoto, etc, were removed from my HD and cannot now be reinstalled.. I form the impression that they are not on the installation DVD's that shipped with my computer, and having examined the disks by placing them in my machine, there is no way I can tell whether that is correct, since there is no 'button' that allows me to look for their presence on the disks.
If you can shed any light on that conclusion, I'd be grateful for any advice you could offer. I guess it's not super imperitive that I have GarageBand '09, I can get by without it, but it would have been nice to have, and a couple of my songs use loops that were from GB '09, and these are now absent from the songs when played back in GB X. Of course, I cannot download the '09 version from the App store. Looks like Apple has me borked!
Thanks for your help, anyway, I'm always pleased to see your name here..

IWeb link opening in a external (new) browser window.

Dear members:
After making several unsuccessful attempts to find this information I decided to post a questions here to see if anyone has the answer.
I have created two web site with several web pages in iWeb but haven't been able to add links to a page that open not in that same page but to open in an extra (external) browser window. Is there a way to make a link open in a different browser window than the one that has the page with the link ?
Another question I have refers to iWeb's display of some images. For my web sites I chose one of the templates offered with the program. In one of the pages there are small portions of text followed by a square image next to it. Some of the images in iWeb work as placeholders that are replaced by the final images once they are dragged and dropped over them. However, this small images following the text don't behave like that. They simply aren't replaced. I tried to "overlay" the final images over the template ones thinking that once the site was published they would be replaced. Actually, after posting the web site I noticed that when the pages load the template images show up first and them the ones I placed over them beginning to cover them.
Why is this happening and how can I solve this problem ?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Joseph Chamberlain

Dear varkgirl:
Thank you very much for your help and valuable suggestion.
I've tried your suggestion but ran into some problems. The links I am trying to open in another window are actually PDF files that the viewer can download from my website.
Since I was having problems I decided to try something else. After publishing the website to my desktop I then opened the pages where the links are in Dreamweaver. The layout view is great and displayed the image just the way it appears on the browser's window. I first selected the "link button" to the file and then in the inspector windows (bottom of the page) I chose under target the "_blank" option. This tells the software that the linked page or file is to be opened in a new blank browser window. I then saved the page (re-saved it over the existing file) to incorporate the changes. After this I proceeded to navigate through the website and everything works great.
Thank you for your help and suggestions. I just thought I would post this here in case it may be of help to you as well as others.

Open hyperlink in a new browser

Hello,
All of our crystal reports are posted on Infoview. I need to create a report that would have a hyperlink to a different report also posted on Infoview. I want the second report opened in the new window. What formula should I use to open a second report in the new window?
Thanks!!
Olga

hello all,
you can do this using opendocument syntax. unfortunately opendocument syntax information is not that common.
1) please do a search on your system for report_viewers.zip or report_viewer.chm. this is the help file that has the information on opendocument.
2) once you have opened the chm go to the Search tab and type in opendocument
3) select "URL Reporting Using openDocument" and press the "opendocument parameters" link
4) scroll down and there is a "sWindow" parameter and use the value New
in the chm there are examples on each opendoc parameter....i have pasted this particular page below as well.
in cr2008 there is an Enterprise Hyperlink wizard which has open in new window as an option.
there are a lot of things you can do with opendocument:
a) go to the top of a report page
b) use an "index" at the top of a report page to go to, for example, groups that start with the letter "G"
c) go to a specific part of the report or another report
d) hide the drilldown tabs
e) hide the toolbar
etc.
i will endeavour to blog about this in the near future and have some sample reports.
here's the info from the chm
OpenDocument parameters
There are two implementations of the openDocument function. The exact syntax of the <platformSpecific> parameter depends on your implementation:
For Java implementations, use desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp in place of the <platformSpecific> parameter.
For .NET implementations, use InfoView/scripts/opendocument.aspx in place of the <platformSpecific> parameter.
The first parameter of the link
http://<webserver>/businessobjects/enterprise11/<platformSpecific>?
The first parameter, as displayed in the example above, must precede all other parameters. After this information, the parameters can appear in any order.
The parameters of the function are displayed in the following table. The mandatory column indicates whether the parameter is required in the link.
Note: The document containing the openDocument link is called the parent document, and it resides on the parent system. The document to which the link points is called the target document, and it resides on the target system.

Open discoverer report in new browser window and without connections page

Hi All,
We are using Oracle 11g Discoverer 11.1.1.4. Requirement is to open the discoverer report in a new browser window and without connections page.
When we are running discoverer reports with this parameters we unwantedly get the connections page of the discoverer plus which we don't want.
Went through the documentation given in this page and followed it still the issue persists, and i see couple of threads with my issue and no updates.
This excerpt is from the documentation available in the link
" _plus_popup=true and framedisplaystyle=embedded launches Discoverer Plus in a new pop-up browser window that contains the Plus applet embedded in it "
http://www.art2dec.com/documentation/docs/oas10g1012/linux/bi.1012/b13918/urlstart.htm
and Here is what we use to invoke our reports.
http://ipaddress:port/discoverer/plus?cn=cf_123&_plus_popup=TRUE&framedisplaystyle=EMBEDDED&wb=disc_wb_1
Request the forum users from PRO discoverer group to help me out of this issue and expect a good discussion on this.
Thanks in advance

Open url in a new browser via a button

I have created a button within a region and set request='go'. I then have a branch that when request='go', it branches to a url. Is there a way to open a new window when it branches to that url? Basically, I'm trying to open a new browser to go to a specified url when a button is clicked.

Yes no problem,
call an javscript function, which open the new window. that function can get as parameter the item value (eg. the URl text)
function callMyPopupTest(url)
w = open(url,"winLov","Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=1100,height=350");
if (w.opener == null) w.opener = self;
w.focus();
this should work
In this excample the URL is static for the button.
If not you have to solve the problem inside the javscript function with getting the value of the item (the url text)
document.getElementById('P21_URL').value;
for that the javascript function parameter has to be the id(eg. name: P21_URL).
hope that helps

Open a PDF in new browser in CS3 mac

I'm assigning a button the task of opening a new browser and
nothing happens. The pdf is on my server.
I get this error: 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type
String to an unrelated type flash.net:URLRequest.

If you want it open it in the browser everytime use google docs PDF viewer and it will open in the browser everytime.
For example:
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf
Which might open in a browser or download depending on the device / browser / setting.
But... use google docs:
Direct link:
https://docs.google.com/gview?url=http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf&embedded=true
or if you want an iframe:
<iframe id="iframe1" src="http://docs.google.com/gview?url=http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf&embedded=true onload="javascript:this.contentWindow.location.hash=':0.page.20';">

RoboHelp 8 HTML - Open Hyperlinks in a New Browser Window

[email protected]
Hi all,
I’m new to the RoboHelp community and have an issue I have not yet seen addressed elsewhere in the forums. I’m working in RoboHelp 8 HTML and am generating webhelp. My question is regarding hyperlink options. The option for open in a new window opens topics and links in a new tab. Is there a method, hacking or otherwise, for having the links open in a new browser window?
Much thanks in advance.

Hi,
Welcome to Adobe forum,
As I understand you are trying to open the hyperlinks in a new window instead of a tab.
Well it is possible in Robohelp 8 HTML
Here are the steps which you need to follow.
1. Select the text Right click on it and then select Insert Hyperlink.
Once you click on the Insert Hyperlink another Popup window will appear in your screen.
You need to check this screenshot and select the appropriate option.
Try and generate the Webhelp and see if that helps you,
I hope that will resolve your issue.Please reply if that resolves your issue.
Thanks

Open URL in a new browser from a JSF backing bean

I want to use commandButton action in jsf to launch a new browser instead of using commandLink.
How do you launch url in a new browser window by firing up a method in backing bean?
So far I am able to launch a URL within the same browser window. Here is my code:
In jsp file:
<h:commandButton rendered="#{openDataList.valueModifiable}" value="link" action="#{openDataList.link}" />
In backing bean:
public void link()
 try{
 FacesContext faces = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
 faces.responseComplete();
 ExternalContext context = faces.getExternalContext();
 context.redirect("http://www...."); }
 catch(java.io.IOException e)
...

with a commandButton i dont belive you can
well there are ways you can use javascript window.open
or you can use a commanLink ans set the target
but from my understanding there is no way to open a new browser from the backing beans ( this is because this is a client function and your backing beans are on the sever )

Open view in a new browser window

Hi all,
I want to open a view in a new browser window.
I try this two code:
1)IWDWindow window=
wdControllerAPI.getComponent().getWindowManager().createExternalWindow(

but in this case i can only open an url...
2)IWDWindowInfo windowInfo = wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("ExternalWindow");
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createWindow(windowInfo,true);
but in this case it open an internal windows, not an external new browser windows...
What can i do?
Thanks!

Hello Andrea,
you should call not "http://www.google.it" but result of something like this:
 public static String resolveURL(String dcName, String applicationName) throws EntryNotFoundException, WDURLException
 IWDDeployableObject deployableObject = WDDeployableObject.getDeployableObject(dcName);
 if(null!=deployableObject && WDDeployableObjectState.STARTED.equals(deployableObject.getState()))
 boolean found = false;
 int i = 0;
 WDDeployableObjectPart[] parts = deployableObject.getParts(WDDeployableObjectPartType.APPLICATION);
 if(parts!=null)
 for(;i<parts.length;i++)
 if( applicationName.equals(parts.getShortName()))
 found = true;
 break;
 if(found)
 return WDURLGenerator.getApplicationURL(parts, null);
 else
 throw new EntryNotFoundException( "Application '" + applicationName + "' not found" );
 } else {
 throw new EntryNotFoundException( "Application '" + applicationName + "' not found in '" + dcName + "'" );

How to make a linked report to be shown in a new browser window

I created two portal reports and a dynamic link between them. By
clicking on
the linked column of the report A (master list), I successfully
got to the
report B (detail report). The problem I have is that the report
B is shown on
the same browser window as the report A. I am wondering if there
is a way that
I can open the report B in a new browser window.
Thank you very much for your help!
Jean

When I use an oracle link from 1 report to another, portal adds 47 spaces after the link. When processed in a browser it displays as 47 %20's right after the binded variable.
Using the concatenation method worked in that it opened in a new broswer window and binded the variable correctly, but returned no rows.
I manually appended 47 %20's in the address bar and it returned all the data correctly.

For testing purposes I added 47 %20's to the sql code, hoping it would add them to the link. It did, but with many more %20's in addition so didn't work.

I got it to work by adding just a '%' after the variable name. Here is the code that seems to work for me.

< a href="http://PORTALLOCATION/SCHEMA.RPT_NAME.show?p_arg_names=BINDVARIABLENAME&p_arg_values='||VARIABLE_TO_BIND||'%" target="_blank">'||VARIABLE_TO_APPEAR_AS_HYPERTEXT||' < /a>

Thanks for your help bclange. Hopefully the Oracle guys have read this and will add the target attribute to the link component next time!

Open calling form in new browser window

HI,
I am using forms 9i. From menu item, i am calling a form using call_form, the called form is opening in same window, my requirement is the called forms want to open in new browser window. I am using mdi window.
Any idea ?
Regards
Ramesh babu

If you look in your browser address field, you will see your current forms has a (probably very) long url, one section of which is the form name. Now, you can use this as the URL argument in a WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT() call. However:
(1) if your URL doesn't include the userid, etc. (very likely in a production situation) you will have to log in again.
(2) as (1) might lead to suspect, you are in a new database session.
Why do you want to do this?
Cheers, APC
