One link opens in minimized window

Hi,
the client application has a library with a links. Some of them open in the client interface but most of them in IE.
There is a problem with one Link that actually opens IE but the window is minimized right after opening.
I need to demystify this...
The difference between opened browser window and minimized (after maximizing it) is:
Opened normally browser is the window with address bar and buttons (just full browser).
Opened in minimized mode is "locked" to not have all the above features. Just has Internet Explorer name in window frame.
The app that I am using is a Virtual Package. I saw one example where the same app is installed locally (not virtualized) opens the link that is minimized in my case normally. I would check closely both cases.
The IE versions are different in my example. Mine is IE8 other was 10.
Personally, I don't think that virtualized app may have any impact. The app calls local IE.
I am not an expert in HTML codding, but I believe there is something in page creation that push the window to minimize.
What it could be? Why the page minimized and why the window that is minimized is "locked"?
Thanks.

Opened in minimized mode is "locked" to not have all the above features. Just has Internet Explorer name in window frame.
Please clarify what you mean by "minimized". Sounds like you may be describing a normal mode window that has some strange properties, perhaps because it is small.
E.g. the first thing that I thought of when I saw your title is: window open, off screen, since many users don't think to look at the Taskbar thumbnail's right-click menu to infer the state of their windows. Only if they see Minimized greyed
out in the menu should they call their window "minimized". Is that your case before you "Maximized" it? And did you Maximize it or just Restore it? Again, please consider the inferences available by considering the window's
state as given by its right-click menu.
Also here, where you are indicating that you actually see only a window title bar but nothing else means it is a custom created window. I thought we were always supposed to see at least an Address bar when this was done but perhaps you have some
software which has been able to work around that restriction. It was added when it was possible to create "chromeless" windows which were not in Fullscreen mode and malicious sites were creating fake dialogs with such functionality. In
any case when such techniques were used it used to be possible to clone the window with Ctrl-N and then that copy would have the content in a window with more normal controls. So, see if you can clone the content of your "locked" window
by pressing Ctrl-N.

I am having problems when i have minimized windows and try to open a new window it will open all minimized windows along with the new window. It just changed when mozzilla updated. It did not do this before the update.

It did not do this before the update. Before the update if i had minimized windows they would stay minimized when i opened a new window. Please help ,I would guess it is just a setting somewhere but i cannot figure out where the setting is. Thanks jason

How can I use terminal to make links open in same window the default behaviour, as it was in Safari 5.0, How can I use terminal to make links open in same window the default behaviour, as it was in Safari 5.0

In Lion, the default of pressing a link on a web page, is to open the page in a new tab. In itself, I do like this because this is what I did for 19 out of any 20 links, which I command+clicked in previous Safari versions.
However, there is a snag to this behaviour. Most (all?) secure site do not like links to be opened in a new tab. For example, when I am doing Web banking, The the linked page doesn’t open in new tab. Rather I get a page telling me my login session is expired. Probably a security measure instituted by my bank.
I since found out, that a command-click opens lings in the same window. Theoretically that solves the problem, if I would think about this all the time. I don't. Old habits die slowly.
Is there a terminal command to make links open in same window the default behaviour, as it was in Safari 5.0.

Hi Eric,
I got it figured out today, basically you have to load the Parallel Flash Loader first into FPGA ram. It is a special .sof file (pfl_epXXXX.sof) based on your FPGA. Code is actually pretty straight forward, using the Sys Exec VI. Use the windows based programmer to generate the .cdf file that identifies your FPGA, attached Flash and .pof file .
Syntax was odd going into Sys Exec. Note the extra "C" in in front of the "quartus_prm.exe" I have no idea why that was needed, but I was getting an error until I just happened to put it in there (Blind Luck :-))
I used a 2 element array going into a four loop
cmd /cquartus_pgm.exe -c USB-BLASTER -m JTAG -o P;pfl_epXXXX.sof
cmd /cquartus_pgm.exe -c USB-BLASTER -m JTAG S_FPGA.cdf
Defining the working director C:\altera\12.1sp1\qprogrammer\bin
And added match string with "Successfully performed operation" on the output in the loop to make sure everything loaded correctly then adding the array to give me a overall P/F
To anyone doing this same thing Altera's documentation is poor to say the least. It took most of a week to figure this out Not allowed to upload code, so anyone wanting details just post here and I will try to help. This was painful, with lots of lessons learned.
Thanks for the interest though
Best regards John

Shortcut for opening a minimized window?

Is there a short cut for opening a minimized window for an application? I know alt tab lets you rotate through open applications, but I haven't figured out how to open a minimized window with a shortcut. Thanks in advance!

Personally I use the Hide command in a program to hide the window, not a minimize command to the Dock, but just literally hides the window. Then if you use the Alt + Tab command to select the program you want, the hidden window will return like you are looking for. Hope that helps.

Title bar gets squashed when a link opens in new window.

It doesn't happen when i click "open in new window" but only when I click a link that opens in new window automatically. The title bar gets narrower so the tab goes outside the screen. After minimizing and maximizing again it becomes OK. It's the same in "safe mode". I also tried creating a new profile but the problem still exists.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

Why does ctrl+Left click a link open a new window? It should open a new tab in the current window.

When I try to Ctrl+Left click to open a link in a new tab, it will open it in a new window instead. Then while in the new window if I Ctrl+Left click a link it will open a new tab in the second window. If I then go back to the first Firefox window and Ctrl+Left click a link the second firefox window will pop up and the new tab will be created there. Why won't the Ctrl+Left click work when only one window is open?

Links open in browser window

I inherited a Help project in RoboHelp 6. I have both
context-sensitive topics and am developing a total Help system. I
am frustrated with several "features" of RoboHelp.
1) I can't figure out how to control how links open. I want
them all to open in a small Help window, so when a user clicks a
link, it opens in the same Help window. Instead, many of my links
are opening in a full browser window. How do I control this?
2) When I edit code in their supposedly "TrueCode" mode, my
changes do not "take" -- instead RoboHelp shows something else, and
this happens even when I edit the file in another editor. I hate
this!!! (One example: to try to fix the window-opening problem, I
tried adding Target="Self" to links, but RoboHelp removes the quote
marks)
3) Why no Back button? I saw the item about adding a back
button with JavaScript and will try it. I find the lack of a Back
button annoying in RoboHelp's own Help, which IMHO is not well
organized or well-written (am I the last person on earth to
understand that "display" is a transitive verb? Or that you don't
open a "dialog" but rather a "dialog box?"

I really do appreciate your help, and I want to apologize for
offending anyone. I think my antipathy to RoboHelp began years ago
with a totally different version, plus, with my current project, I
came in behind someone else who recommended the company buy
RoboHelp (at a cost of $1000), started the Help and had very little
done before she quit and they hired me. My work involves more than
doing this Help system, but I wish I could have been here to review
and recommend tools... and maybe I would have ended up with
RoboHelp anyhow. I don't want to waste the company's $1000
investment, so I just have to master this tool, even if I do have a
laundry list of complaints about it.
Your comments were considerably more helpful to me than the
RoboHelp Help. I now realize that 1) RoboHelp talks about "frames"
because a full help window (with TOC) actually uses frames, and 2)
what I want to do may not be possible.
Here is what is happening. Our application is not
Windows-based, but rather uses "portlets" -- a "page" in the
application may have 7 or 8 portlets that load independently (the
user can configure his page to have the portlets he wants). The
user can right-click a portlet to get a menu of options that
includes "Help." When the user clicks this Help option, he gets a
small single-topic window, without frames or TOC. The Help file is
given the same name as the portlet. This is the instruction I got
from the developers, who showed me how to find the portlet name.
This is all working just fine.
Here's the problem: I have links inside those single-topic
windows. When you click a link inside these windows (the
context-sensitive help associated with the portlets), the link
opens a full browser window. The small window with the portlet Help
remains. The new window does not replace the old window. What I
intended (and was trying to make happen with those RoboHelp choices
from "Display in frame" in the Hyperlink window) was for the link
to replace the previous window -- to appear in the small
single-topic window.
When I preview a topic, the links DO open in the same size
window, but maybe that is not surprising. The application may act
differently. If RoboHelp can only control how a link behaves when
the link is in a full (with frames) Help window, then maybe none of
the "Display in frame" choices will make any difference. Is it
possible that I just can't have any links in a context-sensitive
window? Or is this something the developers could change by
specifiying that windows replace windows?
Can you see how it seemed to me that I could fix how the
links should behave in the HTML? It certainly seems logical that a
simple "target="self" would work, and I did not know why RoboHelp
was changing the code. Was it to insure that the code would NOT
work (as in "commenting out" lines of code?) RoboHelp Help is not
big on explaining what its features are actually doing.
If I cannot have links inside a context-sensitive,
single-topic small window, then I need to rethink the design of my
Help system. The developers gave this very little thought and
seemed to think the context-sensitive help would be enough to guide
the users, but I can see that it is not enough. We DO need a full
(with TOC) Help system, as not all features are just a portlet.
Some features involve tabbed pages that have no "Help" link. This
is a very complex EMR (Electronic Medical Records) system, with a
lot of features that need explaining... So, at present, I am mixing
the two kinds of Help -- context-sensitive and full Help, with TOC.
The developers automatically add "Help" to all right-click menus,
so they are working on a concept of context-sensitive Help. I can
create a file for all those "help" menu items, but the help will
not be as helpful as I'd like if I can't put links to related
topics inside the window.
I have not tried RoboHelp's "related" button feature because
I prefer to just put the links in the window than have users do the
extra step of clicking a button, but I could try that if the
"related topics" pop-up would give me links that would open inside
the small window. It just does not seem acceptable ot me to hav
Help windows going outside the system to a full browser window that
leaves the previous window open.
Regarding the question about whether the project files and
output files are the same -- the output file is clearly different,
but both use the target=_self format. I don't know if we're using
the RH CSH interface. I will try to get more information from the
developers as to whether they have somehow set these windows to
work this way.
Regarding creating a new "Window" defintion--- I did look
into that, and you can specify a "one pane" window, but I don't
want a Help topic to be confined to one pane. The same topic that
is a context-senstive topic also appears in the TOC, sowhen the
user is accessing it from the full Help, the topic should open in
the right pane, like every other topic accessed this way. The
"window" definition does let you set a window size and choose to
make it resizable or not. But it is not this "window" feature that
is controlling the context-sensitive windows, since they are not
set to a separate "window" definition, so it is not clear that this
strategy would actually work.
Have I explained the problem better? My purpose is to create
useful and helpful Help. RoboHelp is the tool I've been given to do
it, and I am not experienced with this tool. If anyone can tell me
if I can get those links to open in the same window as the previous
single-topic small window, I would be most grateful. Otherwise, I
may have to rethink my whole design.
Again, I am sorry if I was overly critical and offended
anyone.

Why do links open in new windows, not tabs, even when that option is selected?

Since update to v. 6 and now 7.01, clicking on links opens a new instance of Firefox instead of a new tab. In Tools\Options\Tabs. I have selected "open new window in tab instead" and it has no effect.
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance!!

Thanks for the post. Unfortunately, while running in FF in safe mode may be doing the trick and thus implies an extension (though not necessarily), I haven't added any new extensions. So it is likely a problem introduced by FF since v. 6 or so. I suppose it could be that the extensions themselves need updating by their creators.
Regardless it is all very time-consuming and frustrating, especially for something that one would think would be readily fixable.

Links opening in new window instead of new tab

I'm running Safari Windows 4.0.4. I would like to use multiple tabs within one browser window. However, while in one tab, if I click on a link, it opens a new Safari window. I want it to open another tab. I have the "open links from applications" set to open in new tab, however, I can't find a setting for opening a new tab within sarafi itself. I hate that it opens a new window. Anyone point me in the right direction so that it opens a new tab in the same window?

Is there a way, then, that the Safari team could add an option to the General tab that would default the click-on-link behavior to be the same as CTRL-click? I'm certain that adding such a feature would be insanely easy?
Great browser Apple ... really like it; but could you please fix this in a service-pack soon?
Thanks!

Link opening as new window.

Hi, I recently changed some static buttons on a website that had links to different pages within the site, when clicked, they would open in the same window, all good.
Now, I changed these static buttons for some flash (.swf) buttons instead to make the home page look a bit more modern. The problem is, I used Contribute 4 to turn the new flash button to a link. Now when click on the new button, the link open a whole new page up, something I really don't want.
What has me most confused is that the 'Link Properties' box shows the Target Frame as Default, which I took to mean would open the link in the existing window.
Anybody have any clues why this is happening? I still have a few static links on the page with the same link properties, and these work fine.
Thanks in advance . . .

Ok, figured it out for myself.
I had made the flash buttons quite some time ago and had forgotten that there was actually an action in the button to open a new URL but I had unwittingly made the action to open a fresh page every time it was clicked on.
I remedied the action on the flash button, and removed the (contribute) link - which was never needed in the first place.
The buttons work a charm now and open the new pages in place of the existing one.

Have search results link open in same window

Hello,
I'm looking at the FlexUI stuff and wondering before I delve too deeply... that and my Portal is currently not cooperating. How can I make it so that when the user clicks on a search results link, it shows in the same window (as opposed to opening a new window)?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi there,
we had the same issue - I opened an OSS and got following reply :

I have checked from my development colleague and confirmed that
this parameter is not supported currently and development has recently
no plans to support this feature.
I apologize for the inconvenience caused here.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Best Regards

Can you believe this ? I don't, as this parameter has been around since SP12 or so and still there is no official note regarding this issue.

Clicking on a link opens a maximized window.

I have links that opens a child window. I am using window.open without height and width(as per the requirement). In firefox 30, it always opens the pop up with the size of the parent window. Is there anything that we can restrict Firefox from taking the properties of parent window?

RoboHelp 10 Skin Navigation Button - Link Open in New Window

I'm using RoboHelp 10 and am trying to get the button in my navigation skin to open a link in a new window. I researched this extensively and have not been able to get it to work. Can you please assist?

Is that link for some external website or some pdf file etc?
When you create a button on a skin and ask it open a file it should do that in the web browser.
If the link is for a website etc then it might give you the following link but you can still open the url in a new window by clicking on 'Open this content in a new window".
