Open an URL or a scipt

Hello,
I want to open an URL like www.google.com when a user press
on button.
How should i do it because if i choose for example On success
: Open URL or a File and in URL I write www.google.com. It doesn't
work.

We're having the same problem...trying to open a URL
(actually, a PowerPoint file stored on our intranet) without
success. One of coworkers just got a hung system; I get a "No page
to display" window with the message "Action canceled. Internet
Explorer was unable to link to the Web page you requested." I've
tried publishing the Captivate files to the intranet (which puts
them in the same folder as the PowerPoint file), but it didn't
help. Interestingly, the link works just fine in native preview
mode, but not in Web preview or the published version.
It's quite possible that you're right about the security
settings being the issue, but I don't think that the solution
presented in that demo (changing the security settings) would
really help, because that would just change the settings for my
computer, not the users' computers, right? I don't have any control
over their computers, nor can I expect them all to go out and
change their security settings like that :(
I also looked into the MenuBuilder solution... The problem
there is that I would need to download and save and copy of the
PowerPoint file, which I can do, but then we're stuck with the
version of that file as of when I downloaded it (as opposed to if
the link was working and they can see the "live" copy of the file
on the intranet). We don't own that file, so we'd have no way of
knowing when/if it was updated down the road...
Has anyone found any other possible solutions? In case it
helps, we're using Captivate 3 and IE6....
TIA!
Laura
Update: I tried the MenuBuilder approach anyway, but I think
I must be doing something wrong... It launches the .swf file
produced by the MenuBuilder, but nothing even tries to open the
document attached to it. Can someone review the instructions posted
in
this
thread and see if anything's missing?

How can I stop my Firefox browser from preventing Click Earner, a program that opens email ads on safelists, from opening the URL's in the email ads?

Hello fellow-users of Mozilla Firefox,
I send email ads using 20 different safelists every day. To get credits for sending those ads I click email ads sent by other subscribers.
Since early this year I've been using Click Earner -- http://www.clickearner.net/ -- to help speed up this task. Click Earner "fetched"
the emails from each safelist and opened each URL advertised in each email. This was a very quick job and all I did was close each tab
displaying the URL. Credits for clicking the URL were added to my safelists accounts.
Since a week ago, without me doing anything at all, my Click Earner stopped opening the emails automatically as was the case for
several months since I started using it. Click Earner support claimed Firefox prevented the program from opening the URL in a new tab each time it fetched an email ad. True enough, yesterday when I watched Click Earner in action I saw a pop-up from Firefox saying something like "Firefox prevented..." I couldn't read the rest as the pop-up disappeared immediately. And that was the only
time I saw it.
Right now I have to open each URL manually to see the ad and earn credits. This is a very slow process, just the same as when I open the emails in my gmail account. It's useless for me to subscribe to Click Earner. And it takes forever for me to earn credits from all the safelists.
I'd appreciate it very much if any one of you folks would help me overcome this glitch. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you very much in anticipation.
Regards,
Tom Graciano

You could try turning off Firefox's pop-up blocker.
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Content
There you will find a checkbox for "Block pop-up windows". Assuming it's checked, uncheck it.
Does that return to the behavior you want?

Running Windows XP service pack 3. Updated Firefox from 8.0 to 9.0. Now when Firefox opens "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" is displayed in a window and no home page appears. What's wrong?

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

How to open text URL in the new tab

Hi guys,
We know that when we click on a hyperlink it will directly open the linked web site, e.g.
www.bing.com
But sometimes we may find some URL in plain text that we couldn't click on it, e.g. www.bing.com
I'll have to select the URL and copy&paste it to a new tab to open it, this is time wasting.
The time IE 9 came out, I found a wonderful add-on, Open URL in New Tab (with Preview)
This will do the trick to open the text URL in the new tab by right click on it.
http://www.iegallery.com/us/addons/detail.aspx?id=3614
But I don't like two things of it.
1st, it will try to preview the web site when I using it which is undesired.
2nd, it will open the link through another site and then jump back to the link I need to open. But I'd like to open the link directly. Which will open the link more quickly also save my time.
Questions:
Is there any other way to open the plain text URL directly? I mean without copy and past it to another page.
It would be great if I can open the URL by dragging it like the other...

Is there any other way to open the plain text URL directly? I mean without copy and past it to another page.
In these forums? If you are using the NNTP Bridge you could view your message in your News reader's Plain text mode and then see that your two examples worked equivalently.   <eg>
Otherwise, in general, I agree there are some pretty obvious "accelerators" which could have been provided.
I suspect much of the problem will be due to "security".   E.g. Windows used to have a functionality called text scraps, where you could select some text and drag and drop it just about anywhere to create a scrap file.   That's
not working for me any more either.   If it were we could at least drag it to the Address bar and press Enter...

How to open an URL and close the URL window, using adobe javascript

Hi,
Is it possible to open an URL and close the URL back again(without allowing the user to perform any other operation)? I was able to acheive the opening of the URL, using the app.launchURL("address". true); - But here it lauches in new window, and how do i close the window using the javascript. Is it possible?
Thanks.

Hi all
In addition to what Bobby W - Adobe TS added, you might find
the following useful as a bypass or workaround to the pesky prompt.
var pw=window.parent;pw.opener=window.self;window.open("
http://www.adobe.com");
pw.close();
I think this will only work for IE browsers. Actually, I
think the whole window.close() only works for IE, but could be
wrong about that.
Cheers... Rick

Captivate 7 Click box and bottons not able to open an URL on a new window

I inserted a button and a click box in CP7 to open an URL on a new window. The URL opens but in a New Tab. There is an issue that the URL cannot be opened on a NEW WINDOW, I am using IE and Chrome. Do you have any ideas about this issue and how to troubleshoot it? I tried with Safari and it works fine.
Thanks, Jorge - Adobe Captivate 7 user.

Hi Jorge
It's my understanding that all you can do is to configure the link to open in a new "whatever". Whether you get the link opening in a tab or a window is left up to the browser and how the particular user has their browser configured. For example, I use Firefox and when I look at its settings here is what I see.
I'm guessing there must be a way to force a new window, because I do see new windows appear. But I think in those cases folks are doing it by using JavaScript.
Cheers... Rick

Open doc URL: unable to open the report in same window

Hi
I'm trying to open a report using open doc url with "swindow=same" but still it opens in a separate window. This happens only when I use JAVA viewer. it works fine in ActiveX and HTML but I want this in JAVA viewer as i'm including this page in my JAVA application and it should open the report in the same window. I tried using "<a>URL</a>" and also target="_self" by HTML interpretation for that object but still the same problem. I'm unable to open the report in the same window by using JAVA viewer for Crystal Reports in info view. Please help me!!!
Envirorment Details: Crystal Reports 2008 SP3, BOE XI R3 SP3
regards
Raghavendra.G

I have tested that myself and It seems that HTML interpretation does not work with the Java viewer.
I have also tried using a hyperlink containing javascript
eg.
javascript:window.location.href='http://www.sap.com'
but the java viewer seems always to launch a new window before processing the command.
I would recommend to open a case by SAP support ( httP://service.sap.com/support )

One parameter in open-doc url in webi not required

Hi,
I am using SAP BO4.0.I have made one open doc URL which links one report to another.While linking there is one extra parameter which have been added, means the linking in the first report is done for a prompt that is not present in the second report.Still, the linking works properly with the correct parameters being passed and I can navigate from one report to another.So I have come to a conclusion that if the prompt is not present in the second report that prompt is ignored in the first report(on which linking to the second report is present). Has anyone come across such a situation.
I hope I have made myself clear.

Hi Riddhi ,
That is purely depend on requirement.If you want to pass any parameter from master to sub report , then put prompt on Sub report and pass the value from Master.You can ignore the prompts.
In 4.0 we have option to leave the prompts to "default" in links.

Passing report filter function in Open Doc URL

Hi All,
I have a requirement that the values entered in the input control on one report the same values should be passed to another report.For this I created a document linking from the first report to the second and passed ReportFilter([name of the object]) for that prompt on which I have applied input control.When we navigate from one report to another via the hyperlink we get a error saying that internet explorer have modified this page to help prevent cross site scripting.We realized that this is due to the ReportFilter function passed by us in the Open Doc linking because when we do not pass ReportFilter() function the link works properly.Any other method to capture the values entered in the Input control.
I hope I have made myself clear.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Yes both the reports are based on the same universe.I tried storing the values of the input control to a variable.But that too is giving me that cross site scripting error.I cannot add a second tab to the existing report and want it through OPEN DOC URL itself.
Please help.

Open a URL in the same window

Hi,
My objective is to open a URL when i click on a webdynpro iView in the same window.
I created a outbound plug in the InterfaceViewController.
And wrote this piece of code in wdDoBeforeNavigation() in Component controller.
wdThis.wdGetExternalComponentInterfaceViewController().wdFirePlugGoToUrl(Url);
Where "Url" is a string variable contaning the value.
But when i run this piece of sode it gives exception
"Exit-Plug must no be triggered with an URL when running in portal. Use portal navigation instead to navigate to another application!"
So what should i do solve this problem
Regards,
Paresh

HI,
Procudere to create the LogoffURL
In the Application properties add your URL name.
LogoffURL = http:
www.google.com
1.      Define an exit plug in the interface view of your Web Dynpro component:
                            a.      Enter a name and check the checkbox Exit Plug.
                            b.      Enter the name Url for the parameter and select string as the type.
This parameter is case-sensitive and must be entered exactly this way.
       2.      In your view, define the action Exit and add the event handler onActionExit().
       3.      In the view layout, define a button and bind its onAction event to the Exit action.
       4.      In your view, define the use of the interface view controller of your Web Dynpro component under Properties.
       5.      Insert the following code in this method of the implementation:
String logoffURL = wdComponentAPI.getApplication().getApplicationInfo().findInApplicationProperties("sap.logoffURL").getValue();
wdThis.wdGetTimeCompInterfaceViewController().wdFirePlugExit(logoffURL);
OR Do u need to generate the URL by using the application?
Thanks,
Lohi.

How to open a URL without session ID and reuse the current browser session?

Hi All,
I have a question about HTMLDB 2.0
How to open a URL without session ID and reuse the current browser session?
That was the behaviour in HTMLDB 1.6 ...
My usecase for this is the following:
We have written an issue tracking application, which sends e-mail to the interested users, when something happens.
In these email we've put a link to some page, with some parameters in the URL.
The idea is for the user to be easy to click on the hyperlink and to see the details of the ticket.
When the user clicks on such a link he is directed to a login screen (page 101) and he enters his Username and password, and is then forwarded to the details for the ticket.
Then he receives another email (e.g. for another ticked). He clicks on the link and :
a) in HTMLDB 1.6 he goes to the details as he didn't close his browser and session is remembered
b) in HTMLDB 2.0 he is prompted to enter username, password with the username populated
Please tell me how can I achieve the same behaviour in HTMLDB2.0 as it was in HTMLDB 1.6.
I understand this change is somehow security related, althogh I don't understand how. If you can explain this either I would be very happy?
Best regards,
Mihail Daskalov

How can I open a URL from a Custom Button in a second help window?

I have a custom button, which currently opens a URL in a web
browser, using a redirect page. How can I change this so that it
opens in a second help window instead? If I understand some of the
posts I've read, it is possible by linking the button to a related
topics function but I've no idea how this is done.
As usual, your help is most appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Hi, ecoulyn,
You need to make a topic file like the one below the target
of the Jump button.
The onLoad function on the Body start-tag causes the Related
Topics command to fire when the topic file is loaded in the topic
pane. When specifying the file name of the topic to display in the
secondary window, you must always prepend it with the name of your
.chm file, followed by "::/". Otherwise, an error message appears
when the Jump button is clicked.

Opening a URL/File in new window instead of new tab

I think I know the answer to this, but I'd like to check anyway. When setting an action to Open URL or File for a button/click box/hyperlink/etc, is there a setting in Captivate to open the URL/File in a new WINDOW instead of a new TAB? I know to use the "New" setting along with the Open URL or File action. I assume opening in a new window instead of a new tab by default is going to depend on the settings of whatever browser you use, but like I said, just wanted to check. Thanks!

If you open it in javascript and specify a height/width or location it should open in a new window.
window.open("http://www.adobe.com", "_blank", "toolbar=yes, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes, top=500, left=500, width=400, height=400");
