New windows galore!!

Hi,
I found that Safari opens far more new windows when browsing than any other browser - I'd like to suggest a feature extension to the browser.
I am the type of user that would like more tabs in one window than many windows. There is a decent feature on the Window menu labeled "Merge All Windows", however there is not shortcut.
Feature extension: Please assign an easy keyboard shortcut for merging all windows and keep the merged window at the top most y coordinate as the remaining window from the choice of browser windows open.
Feature extension 2: An option in the preferences pane to force Safari to always use a new tab in the current browser rather than a new window.
In my opinion the only time a new window should open is when the user right clicks a link and actively selects "Open link in new window..." or perhaps when the user is browsing in two different zones (intranet / internet / ssl / etc). I find myself switching between Firefox and Safari, wanting to use Safari but preferring Firefox's tab handling.
Many thanks
Chris.

Greetings,
Nobody from Apple reads the forums, so making a suggestion here is pointless. If you want to make suggestions to Apple, you need to do it from here: <http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html>. Aside from that, you can create your own keyboard shortcut to Merge All Windows, and you can already force links to open in new tabs instead of new windows. To do the latter:
Launch Terminal and copy/paste this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true
and press Enter or Return, then quit Terminal. Then go to Preferences>Tabs and check the box for the first two options on that page; quit Safari and restart it.
Now when you click on a targeted link, it will open in a new tab automatically. For untargeted links, you can Command-click on the link to open it in a new tab. Links controlled by JavaScript will be unaffected by this, so they will do whatever the web designer intended.

Firefox is Opening each new window in new tab even though I have this option turned off

Firefox 6.0.2 on Windows 7.
Under the '''Tools''' menu,''' Options''', '''Tabs''' "tab", I have "''open a new window in a new tab instead''" '''not''' checked.
But, I am opening tabs galore. It is very frustrating. How do I get Firefox to navigate to a new URL in the same Tab so that I can use the back button?
I don't want to open dozens of new tabs as I navigate around in the same site.

You can also try to update to the latest Firefox 14.0.1 version to get the latest bug and security updates.

How to pen new window while redirecting to a page

Hi,
I have a jsppage 1,jsppage 2 and aspPage. In jsp2 I am getting the
values from jsp1 using request.getParameter("hhhh").Once I get
all values in jsp2 , as soon as I got the values I need to redirect to asp from jsp2.
I don't have any form or any button in jsp2.When I do submit in jsp1,
immediately it has to open asp page in new window. My question is how
I open the asp in new window in this redirection case .....?.
I tried this way but not working ...
WebsiteUtils.sendRedirect(request,response,window.open("ASP page"));
I know if I have submit button in jsp2 I can write a javascriptfunction
to opennew window but here the case is different....
Appreciate your reply.
Thanks

On jsppage1, instead of using a from submit button, you can create abutton and write th onClick as
<input type="button" value="OK" onClick="window.open('jsppage2.jsp','win2');">
Now in Jsppage2.jsp, after doing all the processing, use sendRedirect to call jsppage3.jsp.
Since jsppage2 is never being displayed, page3 will bw the one which will be shown in the new window opened by the name win2 on onClick.
If I have understood your requirement correctly, then this should work for you as I have tried it out.

When clicking on links that open in a new window, the links don't open and Firefox freezes in a way. I can navigate the page I am on but cannot click to open a new tab or bookmark.

When navigating the internet, if I come across a web page that has a link to open a picture or program in a new window, if I click on it, it does not open. Firefox immediately looses functionality in that I cannot open a new tab with the mouse wheel, right click to open a new tab, or use my bookmarks in either the drop down or toolbar to navigate away. I can usually still navigate the page that I am on, for example, (https://loanconsolidation.ed.gov/AppEntry/apply-online/appindex.jsp), when it freezes I cannot click on any of the content at the center of the page but I can still use the links from the list on the far left. For an example of the pictures, (http://www.insect-sale.com/), if you click on "New Arrivals" at the top of the page it takes you to a list of products that can only be viewed by clicking on them. Usually a picture of the item would open in a small window but it does not and Firefox freezes. This has also happen when I try a view a degree audit on a school's website where a program would usually open in a new window. The only thing I have been able to find that still functions properly when this happens is the home page button. I can click on it or use the wheel to open it in a tab just fine, but if I try and go anywhere else I cannot. The only way I can get Firefox back to normal is to use the Task Manager and end the process. Another thing I have noticed, that may or may not be related; is that my Norton Internet Security toolbar, that should show up below the bookmarks toolbar and above the tabs, only shows up about 1 out of every 10 times I open Firefox. Some days it doesn't show up at all. If it does show up and I log into Identity Safe, the autofill for the programed website works, even if the toolbar doesn't show up the next time I open Firefox.

Go to Tools->Options->Apps
Here you should see two columns: Content Type on the left, Actions on the right.
Find and select excel spreadsheet or any other content type in the left column. There should be a corresponding action in the right column. What is it? You can use the drop-down list to select the option you want:
Always Ask - Firefox will ask each time: What do you want to do with this file?
Save file - Firefox will save this file to your computer
Use - Firefox will give this file to the program to open it
In case of saving, Firefox will either prompt you every time where you want the file to be saved, or save it to the default location. It depends on the preference in
Tools->Options->General->Download

Firefox will not open new windows, opens with session restore every time I use it, and won't let me open the throubleshooting tab... Why?

Whenever I try to open a new window, nothing happens. This includes clicking ctrl+N and through the drop down menu.
Also, whenever I start firefox to browse the internet, it always open with a Session Restore with the previous session listed, even though I closed all the tabs and shut it down normally without any prompts telling me about saving multiple tabs.
Finally, when I tried to troubleshoot this problem, the tab never appeared. The only options that work on the Help Menu are:
- Firefox Help (after a few clicks)
- Report Broken Web Site
- Check for Updates
- About Firefox

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

Open iView in new WINDOW for CATW

HI All,
We are on Netweaver2004s and the browser used is either Internet Explorer 7 (Microsoft Vista) or Mozilla Firefox.
Now what I need help on is that I have a link on my page that says "Report Your Time", this link calls the Internet Service CATW via the ITS from my R/3 and opens the TIMESHEET (which is an iView) to be filled in by the user in a new window.
On this TIMESHEET I have a link called as "EXIT" , now after the timesheet is filled and saved, the user should use this "EXIT" link to leave the window. The code behind "EXIT" is so written by SAP that it kills the user's session. But not always and all user's use this "EXIT" link, they generally close the window by browser's (X) close button. This causes the user to get locked in the backend.
So far I have been able to trap the browser's (X) close button and kill the session by using "setOKCode('/nex')". This works fine in I.E 6 (which has no tabs) and if the user closes Mozilla Firefox from the top (X) close button of the browser.
BUT, in I.E 7 and mozilla firefox, when the user clicks on "Report Your Time" link on my page, a new tab opens and the TIMESHEET is displayed on this tab within the same browser window, so after filling and saving the timesheet when the user closes the (TIMESHEET) tab, the session does not get killed and the user gets locked in the backend. Here, if the user had closed the entire browser window by using the the top (X) close button of the browser, instead of just closing the tab containing the TIMESHEET, then his session would have been killed by my code.
This is the code that identifies if the user has clicked on top (X) close button of the browser. But this code does not identify if a browser's tab is closed.
<BODY onbeforeunload="HandleOnClose()">
<script language="javascript">
<!--
function HandleOnClose() {
if (event.clientY < 0) {
event.returnValue = 'Are you sure you want to leave the page?';
In the above I check clientY property of the event object, which is used to set or retrieve the y-coordinate of the mouse pointer's position relative to the client area of the window, excluding window decorations and scroll bars.
Is there a way to capture the closing of a browser's tab. A way by which I can trap the event raised when the browser window's tab is closed.
This has to be done via "Java Script" since the code will be placed in the HTML template in SE80.
Kindly help with your expert suggestions
Regards
Saurabh

Hi Aviad,
You could set "fullscreen=yes" (without quotes) for the property called "Window Features" (technical name: "com.sapportals.portal.navigation.WinFeatures") on the navigation element in question (iView or, if existent, surrounding page). Take care, this opens the window without frame and toolbar (closable by ALT-F4).
To get a 100% screen (with toolbar, frame etc), you have to calculate the clients resolution before, using JS for example. So you would need to build a workaround, for example an iView with no output but opening a new window with a certain NavURL as target.
Hope it helps

Report on a new window

Hi All,
I have a calendar and a report on the same page:101. But I want to open a report on a new window whenever a user clicks on the event. I can not move the report on the different page because it is before login and public.
Please let me know.
Thanks.

If you're wanting to just dump some data to a new window/popup, in the "Column Link" section:
+ Select "URL" for the Target field.
+ Enter the following in the URL field:
javascript:var newwin=document.open('','_errmsg','width=500,height=500'); newwin.document.write('#ERROR_MSG#')
...where ERROR_MSG (for this scenario) is one of the columns/attributes on the page.

Opening a new view in a new window on click of a table row entry.

Hi Guys,
How to open a new View of a same application in a new window (just like a pop up) on a click of a Table Row entry?
I am using NWDS 7.0 version. So please suggest acccorrdingly.

Hi Nikesh,
first of all you will have to declare use of onLeadSelect event handler for your table (note that it will only be triggered when a lead selection occurs not a multiselection).
Also, you can build at design time a View and a Window (for example, PopupWin) in your WebDynpro Component, and embed the view into the window.
In your code for onLeadSelect function, you can use something like this to pop up the window.
public void onActionRowSelection(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
    //@@begin onActionSeleccionTabla(ServerEvent)
    IWDWindowManager windowManager = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager();
    IWDWindowInfo windowInfo = wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("PopupWin");
    IWDWindow window = windowManager.createModalWindow(windowInfo);
    window.setWindowPosition(WDWindowPos.CENTER);
    window.setWindowSize(new WDCssSize(450, WDWindowUnitOfLength.PX) , WDCssSize.UNDEFINED);
    // Store handle ti window in context attribute to able to close it later
    wdContext.currentContextElement().setPopup(window);
    window.show();
    //@@end
Hope it helps,
David

Is there a way to open a new window from the "Go" menu in Mavericks?

Before Mavericks, I was able to go from the Finder to the top menu "Go" -> "Utilities", or Applications or Home… and a new window would open.
Now I have to manually open a new window to avoid loosing my existing window.

Is there a way to open a new window from the "Go" menu?
First, as others have already stated.....make sure the checkbox is deselected for "open folders in tabs instead of windows" in Finder Preferences.
If you're like me and don't like tabs very much, there is a way to make folders always open in windows with a simple click (I'm using Mavericks 10.9.5). Go to a root folder (for example, the Documents Folder), open it, and select View > Hide Toolbar, then all folders within that root folder will open in a new window.
As an alternative method, any folder can be opened in a new window by holding down either Command Key while clicking the folder. But sooner or later you will forget to hold down that key, and then clicking on a folder will open in a tab (which will automatically resize the window and cause much aggravation).
The Hide Toolbar trick will also work with any folder present on the Desktop. It will make all folders inside that folder open in new windows.
To make the Applications Folder open in a new window when opening it from the menu bar at the top of the screen, you will have to open the main hard drive folder and use the Hide Toolbar trick. This will cause all folders inside it to open in new windows.
Hope this helps.

Is there a way to open new tabs on the same site without having them go to a new window?

i like to go to article sites and open up many tabs where each tab is a new article. this allows me to quickly go from one article to the next. when i try to do this with the new firefox it opens the new tabs in a new window because they are from the same site. is there any way for me to turn that feature off?

Do you mean the Switch to Tabs kicks in if you enter an already opened URL?

Is there any way to view two tabs at the same time w/o opening a new window?

I would like to view one tab while I am working in another. I can do it by opening one of the tabs in a new window and tiling both windows on the screen. Is there any way to do it within one window?

Just installed Split Panel and it looks like it will do exactly what I want.
Thanks,
(Don't know how this got in here twice. I'd like to delete it but can't figure out how to.)

When I open a new link or bookmark I want it to open in a new window not a slew of tabs so I can see which sites I have open.

I'm sorry if I'm not using the correct terminology. When I open a new window or a link I want it to open a whole new window so I have 500 open FireFox tabs in my taskbar if I open that many windows. I do not like having everything open in one window. Used to be I could find how to undo that but you changed everything on me and now only rocket scientists can use your application. If Chrome and Internet Explorer weren't so ridiculous, I would change. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

This didn't help me at all. I want a separate window to open each time I open a new tab or bookmark. Currently when I open a new link it just adds a tab to the window already open so from my non-technie point of view, I only have one window open and have to go up top to see what is open vs. being able to look below in my taskbar and see what I have open.

Windows Update in Endless Loop of 'Installing updates" and "Undoing changes" on New Windows 8.1 Pro Install

I am setting new Windows 8.1 Pro computers, and am installing Windows 8.1 Pro to bare drives. Everything goes fine until Windows Update starts installing updates, and then the computer goes for hours installing updates, and then "We
could not complete the updates Undoing changes". It's an endless loop. It seems to be the same 38 updates. This is a recent phenomenon. I have not run into this until the last week or two on several new computer installs.
Again these are brand new installs, so something is clearly wrong with the Windows updates.
If anyone can please tell me how to avoid this, it would be much appreciated.
Michael

Hi Michael,
" This is a recent phenomenon"
Have you made any modifications to the machines ?
To resolve this issue ,running the built-in troubleshoot tool is a very good beginning .It will automatically diagnostic the windows update components and check the configurations for us .
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\Fix problems with Windows Update
If there are antivirus software installed in these machines, please turn off them temporarily to have a check.
The command line included in the link as S.Sengupta posted is very useful and convenient to repair the windows corrupted files .We can have a try .
"sfc /scannow" ,"DISM.EXE /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth "
We also can check the windowsupdate.log for more information to troubleshoot this issue .
Run "windowsupdate.log"
If you have trouble in analyzing the log ,please upload them to the OneDrive and paste the link here .
Best regards

New windows galore!!
