New windows not working/becoming active

when i click on a link that open a new window, it appears, but when i click on it it clicks through it. i have to reopen the window to then use it. it should just become the new active page when opened, but isn't anymore. any way to fix this?

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).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Link to Open New Window not working on Intranet

I hope someone can help me. I created a PDF file with pages that contain links. I directed the linked files to open up in a new window. The linked files open in a new window on my hard drive but when I uploaded the pdf file and the links folder to our intranet at work, the links work but the files do not open in a new window. They open in the same window. Please help.
Thanks
Jeff

Hello Eric,
Thanks for the prompt reply and suggestion.
Unfortunately command - option/alt - click doesn't do it either.

JavaScript and "Open In New Window" not working.

I've been using Safari 5 since it came out and there were no problems. But recently my JavaScript has stopped working. Whenever I click on a link that is supposed to run a script nothing happens. Similarly when I click a link that is supposed to open automatically in a new window, nothing happens. I've tried reseting Safari but that did not help. I had this same issue with Safari 4 and the update to 5 solved it, but now I do not know what to do.

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Security tab.
Make sure Java is enabled.
And, from a Finder window select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder, then the Caches folder, then the com.apple.Safari folder. Move the cache.db file to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari. If you still have problems, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.
I had this same issue with Safari 4 and the update to 5 solved it, but now I do not know what to do.
If nothing above helps, install the v10.6.4 Combo Update
Then repair permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and *restart your Mac*.

Back button in new window not working

When opening a new window and navigating to further pages the back button is still grey and does not work.
When opening a new tab in the same window and navigating to further pages it works correctly.
Therefore the problem is only when opening a new page.
This is different to problems other people are having on this forum as they have problems on all tabs/pages.
Mac OSX 10.4.11
Firefox version 3.6.17

Thanks cor-el for the reply. Your reference to Add-on was very helpful.
It was the add-on called Image Tweak that was causing the problem.
Just as a side point and this is aimed at Firefox, as usual the instructions within the help section of Firefox are for PCs and not Macs. The basic instruction for Safe Mode does not seem to apply to Macs even the 'Hold down shift key' instruction.
Putting in 'Start with Safe Mode Mac' in the search facility comes up with 294 results - none about starting in safe mode.
Thanks again cor-el.

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.

JavaScript to Open New Window Not Working

I am trying to program a button to open a pop-up window. I
have read several of the previous posts regarding this problem
(seems to be pretty common), and have tried the resolutions, but
still no luck. My button (despite the code) simply just advances to
the next screen. For the button, I have programmed it so it
launches the following JavaScript code:
javascript: openNewWin();
In the standard.js file I have copied the following code per
a previous post:
function openNewWin()
var o = window.open('CDMTS Course Map.htm','Course
Map','left=0, top=0, width=1280, height=800, titlebar=no,
menubar=no, toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, resizable=yes,
scrollbars=yes, status=no');
o.focus();
In the post that I received this direction, it mentioned
something about putting this code in the Publish folder of
captivate. I'm not 100% sure that I've placed it in the right one,
but I think so.
Can anyone help me with this problem? It seems like such an
easy thing to do!
Thanks,
Kristi

Automatic Deployment not working on Activation

Hi Experts,
I am using CE 7.1 developer studio, and NWDI set up.
Please see the steps that i have mentioned below...
I have a track which is containing a single DC of type WebDynpro, This DC is containing one view with a textView UI element with the text property "Hello World"
I have followed the below sequence of steps...
1) Import the development confuguration (Track) from the SLD into developer studio using the User ID1. (This ID has NWDI.Administrator UME Role assigned, as well as Administrator UME role assigned.)
2) Sync / Create Project (This will create a project structure and get the Inactive source from the DTR to my Local Machine)
3) goto the webdynpro perspective edit the view and change the text property to "Hello World has Change...!"
4) the above step will result in Creation of an activity.
5) Now I Save the changes and build the DC. (Please note that I have just built the DC, not deployed it).
6) From the Development Infrastructure Perspective Checkin the activity that was created from "Open Activities" view.
7) From the "Activation View" activate the activity that was "checked in" as mentioned in the previous step.
8) Activation process gets completed successfully.
Now Ideally, if I run the application it should reflect the last modified changes.
that is it should show "Hello world has changed",
But unfortunately it's not, it is showing the non modified version "Hello World"
According to standard NWDI activation process...
when the changes are activited...following sequence of steps are carried out.
1) Store the Sources into "Inactive Workspace" in DTR.
2) DTR Sends build request to CBS.
3) CBS will collect new objects from Inactive workspace as well as existing objects from Active workspace and builds the Sources.
4) After the build is successful, CBS will deploy the archives to central J2EE system, and store the sources in Active Workspace.
Additional Information: Now if delete the track and load the same track again,
it brings the correct modified source code with "Hello world has changed...!"
In both sycn Active Source and Sync Inactive Sources
This means that modified sources are getting checked in properly into both the Active and Iactive workspace but not getting deployed on activation.
Please someone help me understand why automatic deployment is not working on Activation?

Hi there,
deployment in DEV and CONS works asynchronous. this means a request is not immediately deployed after the request is build. A successful build can although mean that there was a deployment error. So sometimes you jsut have to wait a couple of minutes for your changes to be deployed.
When creating a track or deleting a runtimesystem and reconfiguring it. NWDI tries to sync the track and the runtimesystem immediately.
So I would suggest to check this as follows:
- After the request finished successfully in CBS open CMS Gui and navigate to the DEV tier of your track in transport studio.
- there is a button "deployment" (second from the right) hit it...
- a window with the deployment details of the tier will open. here you can see if a queue is still pending. you can check when the DC was deployed last time. and you can initiate a deployment of the queue here to. But this will not always lead to a immediate deployment.
- Here you can check if there have been deployment erros (rc >4)
So here you can get some clues on what is going on. Usually deployment fails because NWDI cannot reach the runtime system or the user/password is wrong. Yo can check if the system is accessible by nwdi by getting the dubstitotion parameters of the system. You can find the line: View/Edit Deployment Substitution Variables at he bottom of every systems overview. At the right of this line is a button. if you press it and some variables should be shown. Nwdi can access your system for deployment. If not in the upper left an error message will be shown.
Let us know what your results are
Have a good time

Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window

Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started 2 days ago. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window?
There is no plus sign and going into optins and changing settings has not worked. I have uninstall FF and reinstall-keeping my personalization-and that was no help.
Right clicking on FF Icon to open a new tab, or going up to FF drop down tab and clicking on new tab both do not work.
Help everything opens a new window not a new tab. there seems to be no way to reset this or to chose a different optin. I just downloaded new tabs at end addon and it didn't do a thing.

as a first troubleshooting step - does it work like normally when you open & run firefox in [[Safe Mode|safemode]] by pressing the shift key while you open firefox (all other instances have to be closed before)...

Command-T opens new window not new Tab with Snow Leopard

Does anyone else have this issue? Command-T opens new window not new Tab with SL.
And yes all my settings are correct!!

Greetings,
If your preferences for Tabs are correctly set (the top two checkboxes are checked) and it's still opening a new window, then it would seem your preferences may be corrupt. In that case, you should quit Safari, go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete the com.apple.Safari.plist file.
Then restart Safari, setup your preferences again, and test to see if it works.

MY FIREFOX NEW TAB NOT WORKING NIETHER WITH + NOR WITH RIGHT CLICKING ON TAB OR DOUBLE CLICK ON TAB

MY FIREFOX NEW TAB NOT WORKING NIETHER WITH + NOR WITH RIGHT CLICKING ON TAB OR DOUBLE CLICKING ON TAB

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

When right clicking to open link in new window (not tab) foxfire immediately switches windows rather than opening new window in background

Just updated to foxfire 15.0, and now each time I open a link in a new window foxfire will switch immediately to that newly opened window rather than opening the new window in the background as it did before I updated to 15.0. I am aware of the option to check or uncheck switching to new tabs immediately, but I am speaking of opening a link in a new window, not tab. Any help is greatly appreciated.

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.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Opening a new browser window not working.

Hi,
I have created a webpart which uses the following line of code to open a new window and close the old one when a certain condition is met:
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(GetType(),
"hwa",
"myWin=window.self;window.open('"
+ QA_URL + "','_blank');myWin.close();",
true);
This code works in the test environment, but when I try it in the production encvironment, I am receiving a message "A referral was returned from the server/" and the new window is not
being opened.
A note, that there are two configuration values being pulled from web.config which exisit in the production environment. One of them is the ldap information to look up a user and the other is the
url that should be opened in the new window. Does anyone know why this is not happening? Https exists in both the test and the production environment.
thanks
Sherazad

Hi,
According to your post, an error occurred when you opened a new window using JavaScript.
We can do as follows:
1. Check the LDAP configure in the web.config file.

http://mundeep.wordpress.com/2008/07/17/a-referral-was-returned-from-the-server/
2.Try to set the SPSite.UserAccountDirectoryPath property.
PS C:> Set-SPSite -Identity http://brokensite.contoso.com -UserAccountDirectoryPath “”
3. Check the ULS log by the following link:
