Open a page in a new window when clicking a tab

Hi everyone,
I am developing an apex application with apex 4.1.1 and Oracle 11.2.
I have a tab-set "TS1" in which I have a tab called "startpage". With this tab is associated a page. When logging in, this page is displayed. What I want is when I click the "startpage" tab when I'm in another page than the "startpage", the "startpage" is opened in a new window and the current page doesn't change. Only after a "login", the "stratpage" is displayed without opening a new window. I have tried several things such as an application process, etc but in vain! :-(
Has anyone an idea how can this be possible?
Thanks for help!
Kind regards,

Sounds a little complicated to do with APEX standard tabs because when you click on them they actually submit the page via javascript. It would take some javascript jujitsu to replace that with your own action. You may have better luck replacing your tabs with a list. Or a plugin like the Enkitec Navbar (disclaimer: I do work for Enkitec).
However, would you mind explaining better when your trying to accomplish? It sounds a little strange. What is this page that needs to pop open? It wouldn't be a login window would it?
Thanks

Open a page in a new window on clicking a button

Ver: Application Express 4.1.1.00.23
Hi,
I have a button which opens up another page and I am passing values through the button. But I want the new page to open up in a new window.
I know that we can make the button action type Redirect to a URL and put the target as blank, but in that case, I have to hard-code my entire website link in the URL, which is what I am trying to avoid.
Is there any way around this?
Thanks.
Parth.

Hi,
I'm trying to understand exactly what you expect to happen for the page/window operation. Anytime a page/window is opened, I think there's a URL called. (I could be wrong.) I think you must have a URL. I suppose there are a couple different ways to open a page/window. You could call javascript from a Dynamic Action fired by the button.    For example, I have
javascript:callMyPopup(42,'42:P42_GOBACK_PAGE,P42_ROWID,P42_DSD_ID,P42_PROC_NM:&APP_PAGE_ID.,#ROWID#,#DSD_ID#,#PROC_NM#');
Where callMyPopup function defined in the Page's Header Text -- I'm on APEX 4.1.
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
// Start script
    function callMyPopup (pageID,parms) {
    var url;   url = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:'+pageID+':&APP_SESSION.:::'+parms+':';
// alert('url = '+url);
    Page42 = open(url,"","Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,top=600,left=100,width=925,height=250");
// End script   }
</script>
Does that help any?

Hi BigBinAz,
Try to start firefox in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems safe mode], and in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode#Safe_Mode_options Safe Mode options] select ''Continue in Safe Mode'', don't make any changes in safe mode, and check it again.
'''EDIT''' : "select ''Continue in Safe Mode'', don't make any changes in safe mode" '''there is not an option any more, the safe mode options don't exist any more''', so don't search for safe mode options.
thank you

After I have opened a page in a new window Firefox after a few secs return to the previous page.

I click on a link in one page to open another page in a new window. This happens and I am brought to the new window, but after 1-3 secs I am brought back to the original window.
To go to the new window I have to move the cursor to the list at the bottom of the screen and click on the entry for the new window.
This behavior started a few weeks ago (say early September).
The problem is consistent.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

How to Open BSP page in a new window?

Hi All,
I am creating a BSP application wherein i have a htmlb button for "help".
I want to open this help page in a new window, so that alongwith the help page the user can
view other pages also simultaneously.
Is there any way by which i can open this BSP page into a new window without loosing
the contents of the current page on which the help button is present.
A sample code for opening page in new window will be of great help.
Thanks in Advance for your help.

Please remove the underscores from code.

Finder Windows always open new windows when clicking subfolders

since i upgraded to 10.5.6, my finder windows only open new windows when I click on a subfolder. this is no matter what I do with the setting in preferences.
Also, my finder windows no longer display the side bars with folder icons.
I searched my library (and whole computer) for the finder preferences .plist file and can't find it. (was going to delete it and re-create it).
Any ideas here?

Thanks for the star.
The default of Finder’s Find will not search that folder, but you can change the pulldown menu just beneath where it says Search, from Kind to System files by selecting Other from that menu and then scroll down the next window and check the box next to System files. You’ll then need to change the pulldown menu next to that to “include” instead of “don’t include.”
The next time you do a search using Find, that pulldown menu will have System files as an option, if you think you might want to search for something in your home folder.

UIX question: Open printable page in a new window

I am using 10.1.2 version of JDeveloper with UIX/ADF.
In one of the UIX pages, I am using a submit button to fire an event named printMe to open the uix page in a printable format.
<event name="printMe">
<showFacet name="printable"/>
</event>But, understandably this takes out all the links in the page and the only way to go back to the original page is to use the back button (which users might find unintuitive). I was wondering if there is a way to make the printable page to open in a new window?
I don't think using the destination or onClick attributes of the submitButton with the javascript:openWindow() function would achieve this. Because this still loads the page in a 'printable' format in the same window and opens a new window in the 'non-printable' format.
I would like to know, if there is a way to direct the printable facet to open in a new window leaving the original page as-is, so the users can print, close the new window and resume using the application.
Or is there a better way to handle this, as I am open to ideas if there is a better way to address this usability issue.
Thanks in advance,
Karthik

Dear Sir...
assume that in order to view the report in the page, you should change the where clause of a view object for example (this is dependent on how and what settings you want to make for the page. it does not have to be like this, it is dependent on how you prepare data, perhaps you do not have to prepare anything at all, i do not know what code you have).
So, assume that in order to view the print report, your code was something like this:
public void onViewReport(DataActionContext ctx)
ViewObject V=GetView(); //
V.setWhereClause("myfiled=123"); //
V.executeQuery(); // these steps used for preparing data
ctx.setActionForward("printpageforward"); // go to print page
Now you remove this code , go to the print page, and override the print page prepareModel method with something like this:
protected void prepareModel(DataActionContext actionContext) throws Exception
super.prepareModel(actionContext);
ViewObject V=GetView();
V.setWhereClause("myfiled=123");
V.executeQuery();
Now you add the script to your button to show the print page in a new window, and that is it. your print page should work fine.
best regards

Firefox 7 won't allow me to switch windows; if it's up, it's on top, so if I ask it to open a site in a new window (instead of a tab) I can't get to the window without minimizing the first window. This makes it impossible to work.

I upgraded Firefox to 7 on my Win7 Pro 64 bit desktop yesterday. Today when I try to open a site in a new window, the window opens but I can't switch to it unless I actually minimize the first Firefox instance. Clicking on the second window just shows the first window again.
Worse, it insists on being on top of other programs. I needed to check my Norton Firewall settings against some instructions on a web site, and I couldn't switch back and forth - I could ONLY have Firefox on top. Until you fix this I'm going back to Chrome, guys. I have looked through the Options menus and I can't find an "always on top" box to uncheck.

Dear mkunz,
I can understand your frustration. I have elected for the option to pick up an item from a UPS location when missed upon delivery before; it is definitely a convenient option when working around a work schedule. I apologize that this option wasn’t available to you for your phone purchase.
We do understand that people have to work and this is why we allow three opportunities for you to receive the product. I see that AWBrown has submitted an idea to ideaX page asking us to look into reevaluating this process. Using your email address you have supplied here on the forums, I was able to look up your order. Based on the tracking information, it appears that you successfully received the phone on 06/03/2014.

How can I make a specific page open in a new window when clicked from a menu?

Don't know if its possible but I have one specific page I want to open in a new window in the browswer when clicked on from a widget menu. I know how to go in and put the coding in but it would be nice if there is some option in Muse to do that already. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help.

ryanj4799 You'll need to change the Menu Type to Manual in the widget's options and add the links yourself. Then go to the Hyperlinks panel. Check the option to open in a new tab/window.

Open page in new window when click on HELP TAB

Hi
I have a number of tabs which work on my pages. My very last Tab is a Help Tab.
What I'm trying to achieve is that when a person clicks on the Help tab, the page should open in a new window.
The rest of the tabs should function normally, ie just switch pages in the same window.

Openning an URL in a new window when the page is submitted, from a pl/sql p

Hi,
What I want to do is a procedure (called by an apex process) that opens a new window browser at the URL defined in the procedure.
I have tried with the following procedure:
create or replace procedure reportes (par1 NUMBER, par2 NUMBER)
BEGIN
htp.htmlOpen;
htp.headOpen;
htp.title('Reporte SAF - .: SINERWARE - 2008:.');
htp.headClose;
htp.bodyOpen;
htp.area('0,0,200,400', 'rect', '200.31.86.173/Orden_pedido.jsp?centro_costo='||par1||'&orden_inicial='||par2, NULL, '_blank');
htp.bodyClose;
htp.htmlClose;
END;
Thanks for any comment.

I assume your are writting an applet. You can do this by adding a little Javascript to your HTML page. Add this to the HEAD section:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

</SCRIPT>Execute the Javascript using showDocument():
String url = "http://somewhere.com/" ;
try {
getAppletContext().showDocument((new URL("javascript:openURL(\"" + url +"\")"));
} catch (MalformedURLException me) {
} //end try

When i klick a link that should open the page in a new window it opens up a blank page

For example a link like this: javascript:%20window.open('http://www.survey-xact.dk/LinkCollector?key=TQ8P4KJN1K3P',%20'_blank',%20'height=580,width=800,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes');undefined
It opens up a new window, but blank. Happens pretty often so I´m greatful if I could get help fixing this.

That link doesn't seem to exist anymore on that server: http://www.survey-xact.dk/LinkCollector?key=TQ8P4KJN1K3P

Problem with openning a new window when click news tiltle link

After create a news item using News form created by XML form builder, i try to click title link, It always opens a new window, what i want is keep it in same window when i click the title link, not open a new one. Is there anyone know how to do that? thanks

Hi,
I think its not possible in case of XML Form Builder. Bcoz,
<b>Edit Form</b>:it is for authoring like creating News
<b>Render list Form</b>:It is for Publishing the News
<b>Show Form</b>:It is for showing the whole content of the News
In XML Form Builder, by default when you create a new form these forms ie. Edit Form (You will design the Form here, only authorised person or the owner only view this).
The Second Form(Render List Item) is the one will be shown to everyone with brief information.
The Third Form(Show Form) is the one when you click on the News page, it will show you one more screen, there you can see the detailed description about the News.
So, when you click on the Rendered List Item Title, it will open only in the separate window.

Open a page in a new window passing him some parameters

Dears all,
System used : SAP WebAs 6.20
I have a link in my application which will open a contact form in a new window. This occurs by this mean :
a href="#" onMouseDownMethod="pop()" class="fontNavRIS">CONTACT US
script
function pop() {
window.open('order.htm', 'nom_popup',"menubar=no, status=no, scrollbars=yes, menubar=no, resizable=yes,width=480, height=680");
/script
When we click on the linh CONTACT US, we will open a new window with the page Order.html inside.
In this page, we will fill a form and will send it by e-mail. All that is Ok.
What I would like, is to be able to pass some values to the new window so that it fills some fields in the contact form. With JavaScript I don't know how to pass the parameters to another window.
I tried too with cookies, but I don't have any knowledge in this domain.
Thanks by advance if someone can help me.
Regards,
Nelson
To post the message I was obligated to remove the "<" and ">" from my code, and rename onMouseDown to onMouseDownMethod...

Hi,
Sorry Arun but I don't understand one point.
this code :
navigation->goto_page( 'third.htm' ).
is ABAP code right ?
Today I use this :
window.open('order.htm', 'nom_popup',"menubar=no, status=no, scrollbars=yes, menubar=no, resizable=yes,width=480, height=680");
because I call my new window from a JavaScript function.
navigation->goto_page( 'third.htm' ).
is not javascript code, I can't replace my code by this one. This give me an error.
Like explained, I've tried to do this :
function pop() {
<%
navigation->set_parameter( name = 'username' value = '123' ).
%>
window.open('order.htm', 'nom_popup',"menubar=no, status=no, scrollbars=yes, menubar=no, resizable=yes,width=480, height=680");
But I have this message : The field "navigation" is unknown, but there is a field with the similar name "_m_navigation"
I do all this manipulation always in the Layout section of my page
