Open in a New Browser Tab?

How do I open in a new browser tab (ex. IE & Firefox)? I
know how to open in a new window but cannot fins a command or code
to point to a new browser tab.

That's because it doesn't exist as far as I know. There is no
code like <a href ="xxx.com" target="_newTab">.
That is just an option the user can choose by right clicking
on a link and selecting "Open Link in a New Tab".
Just treat the content like it is opening in a new window.
You can name the new page and then focus in on it as if it is not
in a tab but a new window.

The content will be send to the frontend as bytearray.
What kind of formats could be shown in a browser tab (e.g.: DOC, PDF, EXCEL)?
is it possible to open a new browser tap to show a bytearray file? How??
I just found only the possibility to open a pdf with e.g. a coldfusion script.
I don't use a coldfusion server or something like that.
How could I do this in PHP. I never used PHP.
thanks for any advice

Try this technique in a managed bean method that is invoked by your <af:commandLink>:
// Invoke your PL/SQL procedure
// Open the APEX site in a separate browser window
String apexUrl = ...;
ExtendedRenderKitService erks = Service.getRenderKitService(ctx, ExtendedRenderKitService.class);
String script = "window.open('" + apexUrl + "', '', 'location=0, status=0, resizable=1, scrollbars=0');";
erks.addScript(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(), script);Dimitar

On Firefox 4, the back button does not work on a new browsing tab or window.

Ever since I installed Firefox 4, I have noticed a problem that was not present with the previous version of Firefox. Whenever I open up Firefox and enter in a new web address, I cannot use the back arrow to go back to my original homepage; the arrow is ghosted out. The same problem exists when I open up a new browsing tab. Let me explain with an example. I open up my browser, and then I open a new tab (now there are two tabs open). In the new tab I type www.espn.com. Then I click on a link on espn.com. Say then I want to go back to the espn.com homepage that I just previously visited. I can't do it by clicking the back arrow; it's ghosted out. I have to physically type the address again (www.espn.com). Why has this changed? Is there a way to fix it? Why can't I just click the back arrow to go back to the espn.com homepage that I typed in originally (or my original homepage if I opened up a new window instead of a tab)? Oddly enough, if I go one link deeper into the espn.com site, I can then go back to the immediately preceding webpage, but not all the way back to the original espn.com homepage.
I can't stand IE, but it doesn't have this problem. This problem also was not present on the old version of Firefox. I just verified this by testing the old version which I have installed on another computer.
Please advise.

Same problem here: I never had a problem with the previous versions and now I don't even get my homepage when I click Firefox. Instead, I am getting a blank screen that says "New Tab", only after I click the "Home" symbol I get my Homepage (Yahoo). The browser - back and browser forward button don't work anymore, very annoying. Normally a newer version should be an improvement but it looks like Mozilla really messed up with this "improvement". probably I am going to use Google chrome from now on.

The link currently opens in the same browser tab as the form and the user thinks that is the submission, which it is not. I want my link to open into a new browser tab. How do I do that?

You can use the following JS code:
app.launchURL("http://www.example.com", true);

Open URL from Java in a new browser tab

Hi OTN,
Surprisingly can't find the implimintation.
In an ADF managed bean I retrieve String url. I need to open a new browser tab with this url.
Found this thread Open a url in a new window in the backing bean which shows using javascript "service.addScript(facesContext, "window.open(http://www.google.coml)");".
But in my case in doesn't work. The code is executed, but nothing happens. Maybe because the bean is called from a taskflow inline popup.
ADF 11.1.1.4
Thanks.

Well, I'm afraid that is not an option.
The goButton is in a table row. There are lots of rows so if I use EL for Destination attribute the URL would be retrieved for each of rows.
The method of URL retreiving is heavyweight operation which includes calling plsql functions, working with strings and others. So if I do it for each table row my application hungs and then I receive an exception of CPU usage.
That's why I switched to normal commandButton witch actionListener which retrieves url on click - only once. So I need to open URL from Java.

One solution would be to generate the report via an servlet which you then call with an af:golink with an target frame set to blank.

I can no longer open a new browser tab by either clicking the + at the end of the last browser or by using the Ctrl key + T, how do I fix this?

I have uninstalled firefox and reinstalled firefox to try and solve this
issue, but it has not fixed the issue. To open a new tab I must right click
any current page link to get a new browser tab and then navigate to a new web address. This is a recent issue that just started happening and I can't figure out what happened or what got disabled. Please help me fix this.

Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.

The other alternative is to add a target="_blank" attribute
to the link
tag, but that's deprecated. It should also be noted that many
modern
browsers open new windows in new tabs, not new windows, and
you have no
control over that.

How to make Firefox open automatically a new, empty tab in each start, but keep last sessions?

How to make Firefox open automatically a new, empty tab in each start? (keep last sessions as well) It will be good, because Firefox wont load the previous sessions last watched tab after start straight away, but keep my previous sessions tab as well in the browser.

Hello,
You can change your home page settings to open a blank tab:
* Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Options > General
* Beside "Startup", change to "Show a blank tab"
* See the article [[Startup, home page and download settings]] for more information
To retrieve your previous browsing session, first make sure that you are not running in [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit|Private Browsing mode]]. When you start Firefox, to recover your previous session, you can go to:
* History (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]] > History) > Restore Previous Session
* Please see [[Restore previous session - Configure when Firefox shows your most recent tabs and windows]] for more information

Embedded hyperlink into new browser tab/window

Hi Team,
There is a requirement in my project for that, need to open embedded hyperlink into new browser tab/window, hyperlink is available in the pdf file which is open in browser (Internet Explorer).
More than 2 lakh user is using the product so, there is any way to set the hyperlink target as a _blank so that the link open in new tab/window.
Is there any adobe API is there which can support the above requirement?
Is there any other way which can fulfill the requirement?
End user is more than 2 lakh so, am not going to change the setting of Adobe reader as well as browser.
Need your help to resolve the issues.
Regards,
Rupesh

Yes, there is an API that is supposed to do this in the Web brower. Does it work? Not reliably is what I have found because different web browsers seem to interpret the way that Acrobat calls for a new window differently.
launchURL
7.0
S
Launches a URL in a browser window.
Note:    Beginning with Acrobat 8.1, File and JavaScript URLs can be executed only when operating in a privileged context, such as during a batch or console event. File and JavaScript URLs begin with the scheme names javascript or file.
Parameters
cURL
A string that specifies the URL to launch.
bNewFrame
(optional) If true, this method launches the URL in a new window of the browser application. The default is false.
Returns
The value undefined is returned on success. An exception is thrown on failure.
Example 1
    app.launchURL("http://www.example.com/", true);
Example 2
Add an online help item to the menu system. This code should be placed in a folder-level JavaScript file, or executed from the JavaScript Debugger console.
    app.addMenuItem({
        cName: "myHelp", cUser: "Online myHelp",
        cParent: "Help",
        cExec: "app.launchURL('www.example.com/myhelp.html');",
        nPos: 0
Related methods are openDoc and the Doc object getURL method.

ADF RichTextEditor opening links in new browser - how to do it?

Hi, If I add a link in ADF RichTextEditor, how do I make it open in a new browser window when clicked on it? Essentially, I want RichTextEditor to insert "target=_blank" attribute in the achor element rendered.
Of course, I can ask the user to go to source mode and do it themselves, however, I was hoping that in the WYSIWYG mode, RichTextEditor would give me the options for specifying the target.
Is this possible?
BTW, I dont want to process the value of the RichTextEditor at the backend and insert the target programmatically.
Thanks.

The question is: how do I detect if the clientaborts
the downloading by pressing the stop button on theweb
browser?Short answere: You dont.It doesn't terminate the socket? How/when does the socket get closed on the client side then?

Open hyperlinks in new window/tab/pop-up ?

Now that my hyperlinks are working again....
I have a section with "directions" to lots of locations, each location has a google map link and a link to a pdf , when the user clicks on a link for a PDF or google map etc, it comes up fine but when you hit the "back" button to return to the site you have to go back in the front door again and nav back to where you were. How do I setup these links to open in a new browser window or a pop-up so the user doesn't lose their place on the site? This is a actionscript 2 / flash9 project.
Thanks
Joel

I guess I forgot to mention the these links are HTML <a href = > tags in dynamic text boxes. I'm not using the getURL function. That said, I tried it in the tag and it seems to work fine. Did the trick.
Thanks

Can I have links open in a new browser window?

Is it possible to have links to pages outside of my website to open in a new browser window?
I've created a podcast for my students to listen to.
I've also created a kind of fill-in-the-blank activity to go along with that podcast, but that activity requires a different window.
I want my students to listen to the podcast and do the fill-in at the same time.
So, I'd like for the students to open the link to the fill-in and then click on the podcast on the original page.
Advice?

changing podcast links is a bit difficult - but here is a general link of how to open windows in a new window:
