Links opening new Windows

Is there a global setting that controls whether links in Portal
open new IE Windows. I know how to edit this attibute for URL
items in content areas, but our portal pages and portlet links
have recently began to open new windows without any explanation.

iBod:
Thanks! That did indeed solve the problem. I knew the solution was simple, I just couldn't find the right "Preference" to adjust. It is certainly non-intuitive to have it under the "Tabs" preference panel -- I must have looked right at it and dismissed it as not relevant to my problem. I have now marked this question as "Solved."
Mulder:
I have given tabs a try -- many times. It just isn't my style. Now with this preference properly adjusted, I vastly prefer using windows-style browsing. Also, I can scroll through all the open windows in a breeze using "Command-tilde (~)", which is like riffling the pages of a magazine. Very convenient. Another problem with tabs is that all open pages have a tab visible in the top window, which means that anyone seeing the screen can see the names of all currently open Web pages. In my work environment, that is not acceptable -- I only want the top window to be visible at any given time, as it would be a security issue if random passersby walking behind my work area could see exactly which windows I have open at a particular time. In any case, I marked your answer as "Helpful" as well, since the question was already "Solved" by iBod's answer, which was posted first here chronologically.

List of Links, opening new window on click

Dear developers,
I'm Developing a solution in which I need to show a list of links and when you click opens a new window . Every name of the list have different link.
In conclusion, I want to show a list of links that when you click to open in a new window.
My solution:
1. I've implemented a Select One List associated with a valueChangeListener.
2. ValueChangeListener call ManageBean method, and in the method I calcule link
3. Using JavaScript inside ManageBeanMethod I open the new window.
It works well, but when I click on the same value valueChangeListener not call the method. As the value doesn't change, doesn't activate the valueChangeListener. I need to always call ManageBean method.
They know how you fix it from my implementation?+
There is a better solution? there is an especific component?+

Question about in-browser links opening new windows

Is there a plugin or setting which will force Safari to open all new windows as tabs? I know that there is a setting for that from other applications, but how do you force Safari to do that for itself? I'm getting sick of browsing for a half hour or so to find that I've got a dozen or so windows open. Yes, I know I can combine them all into one window, but why can't I set the browser to do that automatically?
I have the block pop-ups enabled as well. What I want is a plugin or setting that will always open in-browser links as new tabs(instead of new windows) without having to use command-click. Is there anything like that out there?

Hi Sailingmaster,
The only one I know of is Saft. It's shareware, but it comes with a ton of features. Also, Li Hao (developer) has done and continues to do a great job of keeping it up-to-date, and incorporating end-user suggestions. Highly recommended.

Links opening new window/tab

As far as I can remember before Safari 3, I could set it so that if I clicked on a link in an email it would NOT open it in a new tab OR Make a new window appear. I like it this way but now it seems in Safari 3 you only have the choice of a new tab or new window. Is there a way to have links from mail just keep one Safari window and load the pages from the links over each other without opening a new window? Am I remembering correctly that you could do this in previous versions of Safari?

You can override how links are opened via the browser.link.open_newwindow.override pref.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow
*1: current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab;
Use this for links opened via JavaScript.

Error when link opens new window

I have the community projects portlet on the community home page, and when a user clicks on one of the projects, the project opens, but the base window turns into "Page not found". When I do the same thing as admin, it does not do this. Any ideas? Thanks.

F.,
We have been seeing some strange issues with new windows, sessions, etc. with IE8 over the last few weeks (particularly). Do not have any definitive answers yet but may have something to do with the IE security fixes that came out recently. If you (or your users -- not sure what role you have) have the ability to log a service request I would suggest doing so to allow us to better troubleshoot and track these issues.
I will come back and update this thread when we have something more definitive. Right now we are trying to catalog the various behaviors we are seeing and determine what might be going on.

Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL..

Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL. However, if I right click on a link and select "Open Link In New Tab", the Tab shows URL in address bar. So it's working when it's a New Tab but not a New Window.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

URL iView doesn't open link in new window

Hi All,
I'm have an URL iView that I want to display in the portal content area but whenever the user clicks on a hyperlink on that iView launch a new window for the link.
I've tried using the 'Open iView links in new window' without any success. Is this supposed to work or this property is for another purpose...? Can someone point me to a solution.
Thanks

Hi Detlev,
I checked what you said. I've already looked at that page but didn't saw that important disclaimer. My problem was that I didn't had a captured area-URL iView but a full page-URL iView as it says:
+These properties are relevant in the following instances only:
§ The iView content is displayed in its source format. The rendering type must be defined as Keep Source Formatting. See Defining the Look and Feel of the iView Content.
§ The iView content displays a captured area, and not the entire Web page. See Selecting the Capture Area.+
I only had to change the 'Open iView links in new window' to Yes after capturing a part of my page and it started working.
Thanks for sharing

Open Link in New Window not working

Using iWeb 08, I create a new entry on my blog/news page, highlight the text, go to the link tab, paste in a website, make sure 'Link to an External Page' is selected, and put a tick in 'Open Link in New Window'.
When published it opens in the same window. Is this a bug or how can I correct it?

Try redoing your link and, this time, deselect the link on the page and look at the inspector window to see if anything has changed. Then check the 'make hyperlinks active box". Your linked page should open in the browser when you click the link on the iWeb page.
If this is OK do a "publish all to .Mac" and empty your browser cache before visiting your site.

"Open Link in new window" not working with OBIEE 10.1.3.4

Hi All,
Recently we upgraded from Siebel Analytics to OBIEE 10.1.3.4.
In OBIEE Go to Settings > Administration > Managae Interactive Dashboard > Select any Dashboard > Right Click on Properties tab > Open Link in New window:
This throws an error saying "javascript:void(null)".
In Siebel Analytisc the above functionality used to work.
Does anyone knows thereason behind this?
Regards,
Apoorv

Get Firebug and inspect the element. You'll see that it actually is this:
onclick="javascript:saw.runThis
URL('saw.dll?PortalProperties&_scid=To2OnvCVXpY&PortalPath=/shared/paint/_portal/PoC\x2520FINS&Done=ManagePortals\x2526Done\x253dAdmin');return false" href="javascript:void(null)" FF doesn't even give you the "Open..." options and all IE versions as of 7 show them but actually don't do anything when you invoke them.

Open link in new window will not work

I am running Firefox 3.6.12 on Windows XP and have never had a problem until just recently. If I right click and select "open link in new window", a new window will open, but it is blank. This started about a week ago while playing Pogo...the game rooms will not load because they open in a new window. Now I am noticing that it is with everything, not just Pogo.
I have tried checking and unchecking the "block pop-ups" option and the new windows will not load either way.
Any help would be appreciated!!!
Thanks!

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Open Link in New Window fails

It seems after a while, now Firefox 4.0.1 has a issue with the "Open Link In New Window" option fails to load the web page. It opens the new window, but does not load the web page that you click on. Instead it opens a new window with a blank tab.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Open Link in New Window is not working...

When I right click on a link and select '''Open Link in New Window''', a new window opens but there is nothing on it.
The same thing happens when I right click on a Tab and select '''Move to New Window'''.
Right click and select '''Open Link in New Tab''' works just fine.

This began to happen to me when I tried to run two separate profiles simultaneously on the same installation of firefox with -no-remote
