Multiple Browser Tabs(windows)

Using ContentType = 'application/vnd.adobe.xdp+xml' to retrieve data to populate a livecycle pdf form triggers an additional browser window.
What steps can I take to have the browser open the pdf in the same window.
'text.xml' displays in the same window.
Same behavior in firefox, ie7 with Acrobat or Reader on Vista, XP & 2000.

Hmmmm..... Nevermind. Found the issue already ....
Left the underscore out. It should be '_blank'. Not 'blank'.
Just leaving the message, might I not be the only one having this issue.
Thx!

UIShell Dynamic tabs vs multiple Browser tabs ?

Hi all,
Can someone explain what is exactly benefits we have by using dynamic tabs, compare to multiple browser tabs ?
Can anyone give an example of the problems encountered when using multiple browser tabs ?

ADF does support multiple browser tabs but you must design your application carefully. See: http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.com.au/2011/10/pageflowscope-with-unbounded-task-flows.html
As for the UIShell vs multi browser tabs, it's a UI design question. Once upon a time Mozilla Thunderbird used to open emails in separate windows (= multi browser tabs) and now uses inline tabs (= UI Shell). Which is the right way? Neither, depends on your user requirements.

One solution would be to generate the report via an servlet which you then call with an af:golink with an target frame set to blank.

Embedded hyperlink into new browser tab/window

Hi Team,
There is a requirement in my project for that, need to open embedded hyperlink into new browser tab/window, hyperlink is available in the pdf file which is open in browser (Internet Explorer).
More than 2 lakh user is using the product so, there is any way to set the hyperlink target as a _blank so that the link open in new tab/window.
Is there any adobe API is there which can support the above requirement?
Is there any other way which can fulfill the requirement?
End user is more than 2 lakh so, am not going to change the setting of Adobe reader as well as browser.
Need your help to resolve the issues.
Regards,
Rupesh

Yes, there is an API that is supposed to do this in the Web brower. Does it work? Not reliably is what I have found because different web browsers seem to interpret the way that Acrobat calls for a new window differently.
launchURL
7.0
S
Launches a URL in a browser window.
Note:    Beginning with Acrobat 8.1, File and JavaScript URLs can be executed only when operating in a privileged context, such as during a batch or console event. File and JavaScript URLs begin with the scheme names javascript or file.
Parameters
cURL
A string that specifies the URL to launch.
bNewFrame
(optional) If true, this method launches the URL in a new window of the browser application. The default is false.
Returns
The value undefined is returned on success. An exception is thrown on failure.
Example 1
    app.launchURL("http://www.example.com/", true);
Example 2
Add an online help item to the menu system. This code should be placed in a folder-level JavaScript file, or executed from the JavaScript Debugger console.
    app.addMenuItem({
        cName: "myHelp", cUser: "Online myHelp",
        cParent: "Help",
        cExec: "app.launchURL('www.example.com/myhelp.html');",
        nPos: 0
Related methods are openDoc and the Doc object getURL method.

ColdFusion server script in multiple browser tabs

When I run the ColdFusion server example in multiple browsers I am unable to grab sessions in each tab other then the first. See screen shot for error message. However if I disable cookies then I can run as many tabs as I want. Can anyone tell me if there is a work around for this? It has to do with the http call that is made in account manager initializes. In all other tabs except the first one when the http call is made it returns with an unexpected result, with the tag "meeting-info" in the result.
Any help is appreciated.
-chris

I have just tried and I am not seeing the problem you are having.
Anyway, the symptoms you are describing let me think you are doing something with session cookies.
Any web application that uses session cookies would show those "symptoms": you login to FaceBook,GMail,YahooMail, etc. from one browser and then open another tab or window and access the same site you'll see you are automatically "already logged in" as the original users.
Call this a bug or a feature, but this is how browsers works. This still doesn't explain how you are having a problem with server-side calls when you open multiple tabs, unless you are storing the accountManager object in the session (that is ok, if you want to save on server-to-server calls).
But even if that is what you are doing, I still don't understand what your real problem is. Assuming you are trying to run multiple rooms under the same account, the first request to the AFCS server will ask to authenticate and all the others will be already authenticated. And this is working as expected.

Unexpected behaviour when working with multiple browser tabs

Hi
I have an Apex 3.0 app here where the users can click on a country and get a report for that country.
What one of my creative users was doing was right-clicking on the country links and opening them in a new tab. So he ended with 10 tabs, one for each country, in the same browser window.
Then he went to the first tab and tried to save the report as CSV (clicking on that default link that is automatically generated by apex) and he got the wrong data... The data he got was for the country he opened last; I guess this is because that export link uses the current session variables values, not the values corresponding to the page where the link is displayed on (am I correct?)
Any workarounds for this (except for not using tabs)?
Thanks
Luis

Hi Luis,
I've seen this too, yes... I've also warned for this in my APEX presentation at Collab. (using Application Items to store specific session variables)
I suppose it's the browsers behaviour. I also wonder if there's something you can do and works at all times. Maybe SSP (Session State Protection) will help you? (as the url will be different)

OPENING A NEW BROWSER TAB/WINDOW WITHOUT NAVIGATING TO IT

Hello there,
I am using flex navigateToUrl( urlRequest, "_blank"); function to open a new browser window. What it does is it also navigates to newly opened window by default. I want to remain in the same page, but still open this new window without focusing it.
Is there a way to do that
Thanks.

I would update your Adobe PDF plug-in first - it is 10.1.7.x and my version says 11.3.x) To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

With URL, overwrite the "title" tag of a browser tab/window

I've got a dashboard that will link out to other dashboards. Is there a known OBIEE URL parameter or other method to overwrite the title of the browser window? Right now they all say the generic "Oracle BI Interactive Dashboards." I know I can overwrite this globally, but what if i want to change on a case-by-case basis?

How you are showing this dashboard using URL?
Just in case if you are manually opening then try to use custom html page that should have frame object with src=obiee url
give more details to go for any other options if that is not working out

MBP crashing when multiple browser tabs stay open for too long

Hello all,
I have a tendency to open quite a few tabs in chrome and since I don't always have time to read all of them, they stay open for a few days. It seems like after a few days without any reboot and all those tabs open, my MBP becomes unresponsive and then starts crashing... the graphic rendering becomes all confused and unusable. I always have to reboot by hard pressing the power button.
Any insight on the causes and solution to that issue ?
Here's a screenshot of the screen when computer starts crashing.

Please try updating to the most recent version of Firefox.
How much RAM is on your computer?<br>
How much open space?
Please monitor your computer's CPU percentages while using Firefox with these open tabs.
Please report back soon.

Best way to approach... Wizards and Multiple Browser Windows?

How have others got / would others get around the following problem?
I have a 4 page custom-built wizard to collect information about people and then, on the final step, insert that information into my PERSONS table. I use the same 4 pages as an Update wizard as well (I have a hidden item which is set either to 'CREATE' or 'UPDATE' depending on whether the wizard is in CREATE "mode" or UPDATE "mode" which I can then use in conditions to tell the app which process to run.) This works nicely and by using the same 4 pages for both my update and create wizards it means I need half as many pages.
When a user enters page 1 of the wizard in UPDATE mode, pages 1, 2, 3 and 4 are populated with details of the person record they are updating. They can then change the values they wish, navigate to the end of the wizard with the "Next" button and then save the changes.
When a user enters page 1 of the wizard in CREATE mode, I clear the cache for pages 1, 2, 3 and 4. The user can then navigate through the pages using the Next button and then click "Save" to save the new person (perform the INSERT into the DB).
The problem comes when the user is half way through an update wizard and then, for some reason known only to the user, decides to open a new browser tab/window and start a Create Wizard in this new tab. Starting the Create Wizard has the effect of clearing the cache for the 4 pages which is an issue for when the user goes back to his other tab and tries to continue with the Update Wizard he was half way through (because all the items will have been NULLed). This problem occurs essentially whenever the user initiates one wizard (CREATE or UPDATE) when he is already half way through another one: One of the wizards is always going to get "messed up".
I would be interested to hear how others have dealt with this problem in the past? Somehow limit the user to having one Wizard open at a time? Or something else?
All/any comments/thoughts/suggestions much appreciated,
Thanks
Andy

Hello,
Well the easiest way around it is user education. Just put an information blurb on the right that says.
>>
Running this wizard in multiple browser windows or tabs will/could cause malformed data to be saved.
>>
Just like when you do online credit card transactions and they tell you not to click twice or you get charged twice.
The problem is that the same browser , if in different windows or different tabs, will share the same session.
You could maybe store all your information in a collection or something and not save or clear cache till the end, but that seems like overkill, just put some text in there that says don't do this!

Record lock error occurs randomly, when same task opened in 2 browser tabs

I am having an ADF UI taskflow with two flows(paths):
Flow1 - Edit DFF
ProcessParameters ----> router---> IFEDIT---->SetEditedStatusAttribute MethodCall --> editDFFpage
Flow2 - Manage DFF Accross All Modules
ProcessParameters ----> router---> IFSEARCH---->SearchQuerypanel editbutton>SetEditedStatusAttribute MethodCall --> editDFFpage
These two flows can be triggered from links in a task panel. Screenshot [http://act.us.oracle.com/~vmeka/lockerror/lockerror.JPG]
the method call setEditedStatusAttribute, calls an EOImpl method to set an attribute.
This in turn triggers lock() for all the associated EOs.
In following scenario failure occurs:
->1. Click Edit DFF task and keep the web browser tab/window open - lock is acquired.
->2. Open http://localhost7101/ManageFlex-WebApp_Test-context-root/faces/ManageFlex in another tab/window and open the Edit DFF task. lock is acquired again.
->3. In the same tab re-run the page by removing session details suffix.
Eg. http://dadvml0082.us.oracle.com:7108/ManageFlex-WebApp_Test-context-root/faces/ManageFlex?_afrLoop=19870268404083601&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=sbc4nhzgh_116
Remove the end part that starts with ?_afrLoop= and press enter in the Address bar of browser. lock is acquired third time.
->5. This re-runs the page, open Edit task again
->6. Without pressing cancel , open Manage DFF task
->7. Do not perform any search operation and open Edit FF task again. lock is acquired fourth time.
->8. Repeat steps 5-7 a few number of times
In step 5 or 7 I am hitting an exception with following message
JBO-26030: Failed to lock the record, another user holds the lock.
stack: (complete stack at [http://act.us.oracle.com/~vmeka/lockerror/stack1.txt] )

Any Idea why the lock error occurs after a few iterations, and not immediately after Edit DFF is opened in a second tab?
Thanks,

Hi,
on the ApplicationModule, did you set the locking behavior to optimistic ? For web applications it should be optimistic and not pessimistic, which is the default setting. Select the AM and choose "Configurations" from the context menu. Click edit and select the property tabs. Look for the locking setting, which should be set to "pessimistic if you did not change it before. Just replace the current value with optimistic

SWF does not appear when returning to browser tab

I got an odd bug report on a web app we are developing.
The swf appears fine for the most part, but is the user has multiple browser tabs open, moves to a differnt tab and then returns to the tab with the swf, the swf does not appear until the mouse scrolls over the swf.
At first glance it would look like the swf is not being redrawn until the user intereacts with it (we are doing a good amount of mosue polling). It it as if to save memory the browser stops displaying the image, and does not redeisplay until we explicitly redraw the stage.
Has anyone run into a similar situyation? I am not sure where to start with this.
Some potentially relevant apsects of the swf:
Most of the objects on the stage have chachAsBitmap set to true and we are applying a gradient mask to most of the stage, so there is a good amount of processing going on and I know thishas caused some other redraw oddities.
The frame rate is set to a very slow 4fps, and movie is controlled from a timmer.
Any leads would be appreciated.
The tester reporting this was using Chrome 9.0.597.107 and Flash player 11.3.300.26

Thank you very much! I was not aware of the ThrottleEvent, I'll try forcing a redraw when I recieve it.
Reading the documentation, it says the frame rate drops typically to between 2 and 8 fps. If I am running at 4 fps, with the swf still throttle down and back up? After reading this document http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/mobile/WS4bebcd66a74275c36cfb8137124318eebc6-8000.html I assume yes, but do you know if that is the case.
Hopefully the client will let me up the minimum player version to 11.2
Thanks again

If I have multiple browser windows open (not tabs, windows) and I close 1 of them, why do ALL browser windows close?

If I have multiple browser windows open (not tabs, windows) and I close 1 of them, why do ALL browser windows close?

How are you closing the window?
Are you using the File menu or the close X on the title bar?
Use Alt + F to open the File menu with the Close Tab entry visible (doesn't work with the mouse).

On Firefox 4, the back button does not work on a new browsing tab or window.

Ever since I installed Firefox 4, I have noticed a problem that was not present with the previous version of Firefox. Whenever I open up Firefox and enter in a new web address, I cannot use the back arrow to go back to my original homepage; the arrow is ghosted out. The same problem exists when I open up a new browsing tab. Let me explain with an example. I open up my browser, and then I open a new tab (now there are two tabs open). In the new tab I type www.espn.com. Then I click on a link on espn.com. Say then I want to go back to the espn.com homepage that I just previously visited. I can't do it by clicking the back arrow; it's ghosted out. I have to physically type the address again (www.espn.com). Why has this changed? Is there a way to fix it? Why can't I just click the back arrow to go back to the espn.com homepage that I typed in originally (or my original homepage if I opened up a new window instead of a tab)? Oddly enough, if I go one link deeper into the espn.com site, I can then go back to the immediately preceding webpage, but not all the way back to the original espn.com homepage.
I can't stand IE, but it doesn't have this problem. This problem also was not present on the old version of Firefox. I just verified this by testing the old version which I have installed on another computer.
Please advise.

Same problem here: I never had a problem with the previous versions and now I don't even get my homepage when I click Firefox. Instead, I am getting a blank screen that says "New Tab", only after I click the "Home" symbol I get my Homepage (Yahoo). The browser - back and browser forward button don't work anymore, very annoying. Normally a newer version should be an improvement but it looks like Mozilla really messed up with this "improvement". probably I am going to use Google chrome from now on.

How can I capture and take screenshots of all the browser tabs and not only windows ?

This class identifies all minimized windows and take a snapshot (screenshot) of them. I want to take screenshots also of all the broswer for example chrome tabs windows that are open but not in the front. Same idea that it get now the minimized windows but
to get the screenshots of the broswer opened tabs ! What should I change in the WindowSnap class? Since both classes are a bit long I added them to pastebin.com
What i'm doing now is to get all the minimized windows i mean all the the windows in the back if it's chrome browser windows or open tabs if it's program games other windows. This is what i'm doing in form1 constructor:
this.listBoxSnap.Items.AddRange(WindowSnap.GetAllWindows(true, true).ToArray());
int numitems = this.listBoxSnap.Items.Count;
for (int i = listBoxSnap.Items.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)
string tt = listBoxSnap.Items[i].ToString();
if (tt.Contains(" ,"))
listBoxSnap.Items.RemoveAt(i);
listBoxSnap is just a regular listBox1 in my form1 designer.
And this is the WindowSnap class code, it's a bit long code but it's all connected:
I'm not sure what to show here from this class what is the most important part so i added all the class code to a link to pastebin.com:
WindowSnap.cs
What i'm calling/using in form1 constructor from this WindowSnap.cs class is the GetAllWaindows method:
public static WindowSnapCollection GetAllWindows(bool minimized, bool specialCapturring)
windowSnaps = new WindowSnapCollection();
countMinimizedWindows = minimized;//set minimized flag capture
useSpecialCapturing = specialCapturring;//set specialcapturing flag
EnumWindowsCallbackHandler callback = new EnumWindowsCallbackHandler(EnumWindowsCallback);
EnumWindows(callback, IntPtr.Zero);
return new WindowSnapCollection(windowSnaps.ToArray(), true);
EnumWindowsCallBackHandler is:
private delegate bool EnumWindowsCallbackHandler(IntPtr hWnd, IntPtr lParam);
EnumWindows is:
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
private static extern bool EnumWindows(EnumWindowsCallbackHandler lpEnumFunc, IntPtr lParam);
Then i have the class called WindowSnapCollection:
WindowSnapCollection.cs
The problem is in form1 constructor i'm getting only 23-24 windows in the listBox1. When i'm doing this two lines:
this.listBoxSnap.Items.AddRange(WindowSnap.GetAllWindows(true, true).ToArray());
int numitems = this.listBoxSnap.Items.Count;
I see in numitems about 30 windows and after filtering i'm getting 20 windows and i checked that's the correct number of opened minmizied windows i have in this example 20.
Now what i want to do is somehow to get with all this windows in the listBox also all the opened tabs in chrome.
For exmaple i have only 4 opened chrome windows. But in one of the chrome windows i have almost 40 tabs opened !
I want somehow to add to the listBox all this opened tabs also as captured screenshots like i'm doing now with the windows.
This is a screenshot of my program showing what i'm doing and what i get:
So now i have 19 windows captured in the next refresh it will show 20.
My question is if there is any way to capture also all the chrome opened tabs in all the windows if any opened tabs are opened at all ? Now i'm getting only the chrome opened windows captured screenshot. But i want to get also the chrome tabs captured screenshots.

Hi Chocolade1972,
Since this forum is discussing about Windows Forms general like winform controls, and your issue is related with Windows Desktop SDK, I will move this thread to the more related forum.
Thanks for your understanding.
