List-Items (Type=URL) - how to open in New Window

I use a List for deliver information in a region.
The list consist of some URLs.
I would like to open a new Window (not use the active Window), if one element was clicked.
With html-text-region I could user "target=...", but this is not usable in the List entries, it should be a simple URL.
Have we any attributes for such a behavior?

Lutz,
You can achieve what you want in a list template. For example the sample application uses the following fragment in the Standard Unordered List template:
<li>#TEXT#</li>
Simple change that to
<li><a target="new" href="#LINK#" style="font-weight:bold;" class="list">#TEXT#</a></li>
or something similar.

Portal 10.1.4 seeded Page link Item type - Getting it to open in new window

I've been working on creating a new portal and am having some difficulty with Page Links. I am using version 10.1.4 out of the box. When I create a page link to another page and click on it, the page always takes over the current window.
Under normal items, you can select the option to display item in new browser window. I do not see this option when using a Page Link.
My questions are :
Is this option to display somewhere else vs. Page Properties?
Has anyone created a custom item type to achieve this function?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Something you could try is changing the way the item is displayed using a HTML Content Layout, this is a great feature of portal 10.1.4 and allows you to customise the region where the items are displayed.
Try this:
1) Create a new HTML Template
2) Select HTML Content Layout from the list
3) insert this code:
<oracle>
if '#ITEM.TYPE#' in ('baseportletinstance', 'portlet_instance') then
htp.p('#ITEM.PORTLETCONTENT#');
else
htp.p('#ITEM.TITLE#');
end if;
</oracle>
4) go to your page and edit your region properties
5) On the attributes tab chose the Html template you created.
the items should be displayed now as links that open in a new browser window.
Hope this helps..
Regards,
Juan

Link to URL - How to Open a New Tab

I have created some PDF's in Adobe Acrobat and I am hosting them on my website. So for example here is one: <possible spam link removed - kglad>
I have created links to URL's using the Link Properties tool, Actions tab. However it will only open the URL in the same tab.
Is it possible to have the URL's open in a new tab?
Hope someone can help.
Heath

You need to use the target="_blank" attribute to make links open in a new window or tab. Where the link actually opens is up to the browser settings. So if you have Tools > Internet Options > Tabbed Browsing Settings > "Always open pop-ups in new tabs" selected, a target="_blank" link will open in a new tab. Note that this type of link will open in a new window by default on most browsers.

How to open a new window from submit button &dialog page in current window?

We have a requirement, wherein we have a OAF search page for PO lines with search criteria, Go button to search ,result region (table layout) and a submit button(Create new expedite).
1. Now user can select some lines from result region and click on Submit button.
2. On click of submit button we need to pop up a window or may be a dialog page asking that " Do you want open supplier web link portal or not?".
3. If user clicks yes(in Dialog page) then first fetch the URL from a look up maintained in Oracle EBS on the basis of supplier of the lines selected and then open that URL in a new window and side by side we need to open a dialog page in search page asking "whether user has updated the expedite info in supplier portal or not?". On basis of this we need to updated some count in custom tables.
So in step 3 i am facing problem, that how to open an URL in a new window through a submit button and side by side want to open a dialog page in the current window also.
Hope a quick response from you all.
Note:- To open a custom page we can have a link or button(button of type button and not submit button) on base page with destination url property as following javascript:
javascript:var a = window.open('OA.jsp?page=/XXX/oracle/apps/xxx/......&retainAM=Y', 'a','height=500,width=900,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no'); a.focus();
So the question is how to do the same for submit button on OAF page???

Antriksh,
You just need to attach a submit action in button bean and not submit button bean, based on the output of confirm type of alert in javascript.
Here is code u need to put in destination url of the button:
//replace <confirm message> by message you want to show.
javascript:input=confirm('<confirm message>');if(input==true){submitForm('DefaultFormName',0,{XXX:' abc'});}" Now in the process request of the base page CO, u can get parametre 'XXX' from the pagecontext....so
if((("abc").equals(pageContext.getParameter("XXX"))))
{/// custom LOGIC }
The same i have replied in your mail. I hope this resolves the issue.

How to open a new window that's not a page

can you create a hyperlink, let's say from a photo of a person, that opens in a seperate window which is not another page?
if that's not possible, can you create the same hyperlink, and have it open as a new page, but not have the page listed as it's own button. meaning it is invisible unless you navigate from the page with the photo/hyperlink?

You can do both...

How to open a new window with no Portal Header and Portal Navigation bar

Hi,
I am working with the EPCM.doNavigate() method and passing the value "1" for the mode parameter in order to open it in a seperate window without the Portal header.
For some reason, the Portal header is still seen in the new window.
Do anyone know the reason?
Thanks,
Aviad
int openType = 1;
"EPCM.doNavigate(\""Url"\", "openType"); \n"

Hi Aviad,
Try out the command
EPCM.doNavigate(\""Url"\", "openType",'toolbar=no','status=no','menubar=no');
<b>Put opentype=1</b>
I think it will work
Thanx & Regards

Link to URL -- pdf should open in new window - Error

Hi experts,
I have a Web Dynpro Application with an ALV and a link to url in one column. The code is ok. It works fine. When I click on the URL a new browser window opens with the correct URL, but I get an Error --> "The requested URL could not be retrieved".
It should be a pdf. But Acrobat Reader does not open. If I put the URL in Firefox Browser, it works perfect. Acrobat Reader opens and shows the pdf.
The same happens when I use Windows 2000 System with Internet Explorer version 6.0.2800.1106.
I have normally Windows XP with Internet Explorer version 6.0.2900.2180 with sp2.
What can that be? On both computers I have the same version of Acrobat Reader with the same configuration.
Had someone of you this problem, too? Who can help?
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
Ingmar

Open a new window when you click on a button

Hi all,
I'm a newbie on BPS and web interface on BPS. I have a problem on how to open a new window.
I explain:
We have a page with a button which call a function. We want to change this button in the way when you ckick it, a new window appears and present a page with two buttons which call each a function(this page is already created thanks to bps_wb).
The problem is : how to modify the button in the way it opens a new window with in parameter the page.
Thanks by advance.
Best regards,
Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,
I don't know about a pop-up, but if you are trying to open a page (page 2) in a new window (internet explorer window), then do the following:
Instead of using a navigate pushbutton, use a hyperlink component.
In the URL selection option insert the URL (web address) of page 2. You can find the URL by going to SE80, in the repository browser select "BSP Application" and "THE TECHNICAL NAME OF YOUR BPS". Open your BSP and go to the folder "pages with flow logic" and find your "page 2". Double click on your page and then select the "properties" tab and navigate to the bottom where you will see the pages URL.
Insert this URL address into your hyperlink component back in the Web Interface Builder.
Leave the Target selection as parent. Make sure your internet explorer enhanced options are set to "not reuse the same window" under the browser options.
Good luck.
Rael

Open a new window in BSP by backend?

Hello,
    In BSP I have a problem that how to open a new window in backend not by Javascript 'window.open(**.htm);' . If you have done it ,please tell me . Thank you very much .
    For example,I open a new window that not exist at first in page .
Message was edited by:
        rongrong wang

Hi Rongrong,
the only other way I can think of is by using a link with target="_blank". There always needs to be an action/trigger on the frontend opening a new window, you cannot force it from the backend as there is no push mechanism within http, meaning once the response is processed and sent out to the requestor you don't have any link to the frontend any more by which you could push data from the backend to the frontend. Session information for http is always kept either in cookies or in specially mangled URL's and not by the protocol.
Hope that helps.
Best Regards

How to Open Multiple New Browsers for URL from Portal

I have a URL item that, when selected, opens a new browser (A) - as it should.
But while that one is open, if a user clicks on a different URL on the portal page, then browser A is used rather than a NEW browser(B) being opened.
Is there a way to set these URL's up so that they can both open a new browser at the same time?

A form is a class object. Each window would be a new instance of the form. You can either add a parameter list to the constructor of the form, call a method to set the properties of the form, or make the properties public.
You don't need to open a new window. The form class creates a new window when you call the form constructor.

Use a list item to open a new window with a web address

Hi
I would like to create a list entry which opens a new windows and directs that window to a specific website. I have tried creating the list entry and it works except it is redirecting to the web site in the current window.
at the moment in the list entry options under "Target" I have the following
Target typ: URL
URl: http://www.somewhere.com
Many thanks for your help.

Yes there is. You will need to write your own javascript function using window.open(), which has lots of parameters that control size, scroll bar, menus etc. Do not be tempted to put window.open directly into the URL because it causes problems.
Do a Google on javascript window.open and you should get all the info you need.
Another approach is to do a[b] file > save as in apex and then examine the JS files that are downloaded. You can call any of these javascript functions from apex and a number of them open windows in one form or another.
I can knock something together for you if you struggle.
