Open certain webs in a new window

Hi,
I like the normal tab behaviour: all the 'external' links to a new tab. But I'd like that when the page A is called (http://www.example.com) it opens in a new window. Only for that site.
Is it possible this situation?
I've a reason for that. I've an enterprise java application that opens an external link (http://www.example.com) and it's necessary to open it in a new window, like a popup. If it opens in a new tab the Firefox window remains in the background and people can't see the new tab. Another problem is that when people want to close the tab they close all the Firefox...
Thx

By default, Firefox will make an exception and launch a new window instead of a new tab only if it is opened using the JavaScript window.open() function and specifies certain features, such as a specific window size or hiding certain toolbars. I don't think an external program can trigger this built-in logic, but perhaps there is a way.
I think Plan B would be an add-on that lets you manage the new window/new tab choice based on the host name. Over the years, many tab-related add-ons have been developed, but I haven't researched their features to see whether this option is already available.

Open a URL in default web browser's new window

HI
As i have posted a question in my previous post
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5235957&tstart=200
I have formulate a code for that as follows :->
String url= "http://www.google.com";
String os = System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase();
        Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
        try{
               if (os.indexOf( "wie" ) >= 0) {
                                    // this doesn't support showing urls in the form of "page.html#nameLink"
            rt.exec( "rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler " + url);
             } else if (os.indexOf( "mac" ) >= 0) {
                 rt.exec( "open " + url);
             } else if (os.indexOf( "nix") >=0 || os.indexOf( "nux") >=0) {
                            // Do a best guess on unix until we get a platform independent way
                                // Build a list of browsers to try, in this order.
           String[] browsers = {"epiphany", "firefox", "mozilla", "konqueror",
                                          "netscape","opera","links","lynx"};
     // Build a command string which looks like "browser1 "url" || browser2 "url" ||..."
                StringBuffer cmd = new StringBuffer();
              for (int i=0; i<browsers.length; i++)
          cmd.append( (i==0 ? "" : " || " ) + browsers[i] +" \"" + url + "\" ");
                  rt.exec(new String[] { "sh", "-c", cmd.toString() });
                          }catch (IOException e){
                             System.out.println("OS not compatible");

.

you can open browsers new window using jdic...
unfortunately Desktop.browse() doesnt allow to do that, but we can do that another way:
        String urlToOpen = "http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5236723";
        BrowserService browserService = (BrowserService) ServiceManager.getService(ServiceManager.BROWSER_SERVICE);
        try {
            // exactly "_blank" allow to open necessary url in a new window :)
            browserService.show(new URL(urlToOpen), "_blank");
        } catch (LaunchFailedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

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).

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.

Hyperlink to open a file in a new window

I have been trying to format the hyperlink to a file so it opens on a new window. iWeb allows us to check the box 'open in new window' only for links to external pages; when we insert a link to a file, I realize the app uploads the file to the website, but I could not find a way to have it open in a new window. Is there a way we can get to and format the hyperlink reference?

1. Create the link that connects to the file (pdf or whatever) on a separate page of your site on iWeb.
2. Publish your site, then go on the internet to the page that has this link. Keep this page open on your Safari or some web browser you use.
3. Go back to your iWeb and create another link on a different page (home page, for example) of your site, and connect this link to the URL of the open page in step 2 with "Link to: An External Page" option. Click to choose "Open link in new window" on the Inspector panel. Name this link that has something to do with the file of interest in step 1.
4. On your iWeb, go the page created in step 1 and make sure "include page in navigation menu" is not selected or checked in the Inspector panel so that web visitor will not get to this page directly.
5. Publish your site. Now go to your site on the web to the page in step 3. Click on the link and it will open a new page with the link that has the file attached. Visitor can now open the file in that new window.
• It seems complicated, but you'll get it.
• You may need to refresh the pages on Safari to make it work if you have left Safari on throughout your work.
• For this method, you have to dedicate a page to carry the link that connects to the file.
Example: I create a page that has list of links to the files for viewing. These files are weekly reports. Each file is named by its date such "March 4, 2011" "March 11, 2011" etc.. This page will be hidden from visitors at first when they visit my site. Then I create on my home page a link called "Weekly Reports" that open to "External Page" via the option I have in Inspector. Even though it says "External Page" I use the URL of the hidden page containing all the actual files. On this "hidden" page, I also has a link called "Weekly Report" but this link is connected directly to this page. I do this only because I want the "hidden" page to look like my home page in terms of displayed links.

Open KM folder navigation in new window

Hi Experts,
We have created KM navigation iView to display the documents from a folder. We have a requirement to open the navigation in new window when click on the folder.
For example path to documents are displaying from the /documents foder path as
documents
Test1.doc
Test.html
When I click on the documents folder, it should open the complete navigation in new window, at present it jsut refresh the page and render in the same window. Any one have idea whether to change in the Collection render or Resoure render class.
Thanks,
Chinna

Hi
Collection render com.sapportals.wcm.rendering.collection.cm.CollectionListRenderer is being used to render the columns. This class exists under com.sap.km.cm.ui.flex portalapps, which is WEB-INF/portal/portalapps/com.sap.km.cm.ui.flex/private/lib folder. If I need to create new collection render by extending this class do I need to make the changes in the existing app ( com.sap.km.cm.ui.flex).
Can anyone suggest what is the approach to fulfill my requirement as in my first thread.
Thanks
Chinna.

How can I open a blob (PDF) in new window.

The BLOB (PDF) that is in the database is being displayed by a column link. Since the field is a blob link I haven't found any way to open it in it's separate window. There have been several postings where others have asked this but I've yet found one that has an answer.

Hi
I do not think it matters whether your reports portlet is a default one or a customize one. I think whne you place the portlet, you can specify in the property to open up the result in new window. I think it is common feature of Portal.
Thanks

Firefox won't open mailto links in a new window like it used to...it just opens gmail in the current tab.

I recently upgraded firefox and now whenever I click a mailto link it opens gmail in the current tab rather than in a new window. How can I get it to open email links in a new window.

My MAILTO problem was finally fixed on the June 29, 2012 Firefox version 14 beta 10 release.

When I use yahoo images and i open an image in a new window, it tweakes out firefox so that panes are distorted and exerything, the whole firefox browser looks like an F5 tornado took it apart and lumped it on my desktop... is this a known glitch?

When I use yahoo images and open an image in a new window, the page, once I click its tab causes the entire browser to scramble graphically, making it nearly impossible to navigate further. I right-clicked and selected close tab. That regains the visual clarity of the browser. But how can I fix this to browse the images?

Phillipp,
I tried it again using "save link as", and this time it actually worked! I just now downloaded several more using the "save link as" option, and it works perfectly. Thanks. Problem solved.

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 "Navigate" enabled report in new window - OBI10g.

Hello Experts,
May be its novice user question, i have 2 reports, source and target reports. Both reports are connected using "Navigate" functionality.
Issue is, i wan to open the target report in new window? is that possible?
using GO URL: we have an option like target='_blank'. but in navigate.. what is the option?
Thanks in advance....
Regards,
Kiran

The Navigate feature can be modified to open targets in a new window by following the below steps:
- Edit OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\analytics\analytics\res\b_mozilla\viewhelper.js
- Search for function NavigateInfo()
- Find the line with code this.sWindowTarget = "_self";
- Replace the line as this.sWindowTarget = "_blank";
- Clear the browser cache and reload the page.
The navigation targets will now open in a new window.

Safari won't open certain web pages

Hi,
I can't get Safari to open certain web pages. This has only been the case for the last week or so, I could happily view them before.
2 examples are : www.facebook.com and www.quaysws.co.uk
can anybody please help, it just seems a bit weird...

I just got this link, http://www.quaysws.co.uk/flash/page1.php,
to open in both Safari and Firefox. Mind you at the same time, I cannot get Apple.com to open in Safari I'm running Leopard with Safari 3.0.4. Whoa Safari just decided that Apple.com does exist and opened it without me first having to restart the computer. Safari definitely has some bugs but you may want to make sure that you don't have any 3rd party add-ons set up and you may have to reinstall.
