Open New Browser Window in CS4 opens behind existing window - HELP!

I am creating a website in CS4, and everything works fine EXCEPT ona few pages, for every link I have set up to open in a new browser window, the new window opens BEHIND the existing window, so that you cannot see it. I tried one solution that said to type "javascript:;" in the href (link) box, but that did not correct the problem. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Sounds like you have Tabbed browsing enabled.

Opening new browser window

Hi,
this piece of code use to work for opening a new browser, but now it has problem in opening browser window. There is no exception thrown, can anyone has suggestion whats wrong in this. I am using JRE1.3. I have a feeling that something is conflicting with IE (I tried on 5.0,5.5,6.0)
thanks
Syed
try
URL url = new URL(urlString);
applet.getAppletContext().showDocument(url, "_blank");
} // End of Try
catch(MalformedURLException e)
logs("Exception in opening new browser window: " + e);
} // End of Catch

Same here.
Worked fine under IE5.x to IE6, JRE 1.3.x to 1.4. OS used were W2k and WinXP, no prob here.
Now on some PCs the windows don't pop up anymore. No exception, no indicator of what's going wrong.
Any hints?

Any way to open new browser window without using image maps?

Is there any way to open new browser window without using image maps? My code works fine in Firefox, but not in IE. There are 2 problems in IE: 1st is that the thumbnail images move up within their own borders & 2nd that when you click on an image it does open up a new browser window, but also redirects to the index page (in this case it's just a placeholder index page - the new one I've called index_new.html for the time being).
Here is the link:
http://www.susieharperdesigns.com/gallery_beads.html
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Your missing a value on the HREF. In your code you have this:
<area shape="rect" coords="-24,-9,106,144" href=" " onclick="MM_openBrWindow('gallery_bead1.html','','width=255,height=360')" />
</map></div>
and it should be this:
<area shape="rect" coords="-24,-9,106,144" href="javascript:void()" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('gallery_bead1.html','','width=255,height=360')" />
</map></div>
If you fix the code on all your beads, it should work.

Opening new browser using button

Hi there:
I am trying to insert a link to a webpage which I would like
to have open in a new browser. I selected 'Open URL or file',
entered the URL [complete with http] and then selected 'New' from
the drop down list. When I run the file [I have done this locally
from my hard drive and am wondering if that may be the issue] and
click on the button nothing happens.
As a test I changed the URL to be the location for file and
it opens the file fine. Do I need to wait until the video is
implemented on the web before the link will work?
Thanks!

public class WindowsProcess
     public static void main(String[] args)
          throws Exception
          String[] cmd = new String[3];
          cmd[0] = "cmd.exe";
          cmd[1] = "/C";
          cmd[2] = "start";
          Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( cmd );
          process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( cmd );
}When you run the above code you should get two open dos windows.
Now just just enter some html filename and hit enter in each window. IE should start up separately in each window.
Thats also what should happen if you specify the html file as the fourth parameter. A new process should be created and two separate windows should open with a browser in each.

CS4 - Difference in height on "Open New Browser Window" from Safari to IE?

I have put a site together and have some links that are set to "Open New Window" and have given them the appropriate sizing and on Safari Mac they show correctly but on Windows IE they show short. Is there a difference in the height dimension on Windows platform or IE in particular? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
jodmcc49

You are going to have to post a link to the page in question. If you set something to be a specific height and width in pixels it will be the same in both screens.

Opening New Browser window for click event on an image

hi all,
I want someone to help me out solving the problem of opening
a new browser window on the mouse click event of an image or a
button etc.... The new window would contain the datagrid details
from the main window, but in an expanded form. If at all there is a
solution, I even want to know whether there is anyway for sizing
the poped up window,because I dont want the new poped up window to
cover the entire screen.
For getting better idea of my problem, the best example I
could give is the popup window that appears when we click on the
preview button while posting the message to the forum.
Someone please do help me out in this regard.
Thanks,
amar.

I'd definitely try to use a Flex popup... but the
flash.net.navigateToURL method is a simple way to open a popup
window in a new browser. You can pass any data needed by the new
page using the URLRequest and/or URLVariables. The URL you navigate
to could, of course, be another Flex application if necessary. I
use this only when I need to open a popup window on another site,
or an HTML formatter report or something similar.
Concerning yourself with the size of the popup window may be
a bad design choice also. I, for example, have my browser
configured to open all popups in a new tab regardless of sizing
constraints imposed by the designer. If it is absolutely necessary
for you to have control over the size of your popup window, you
should follow the advice given by others and use a Flex
popup.

Open New Browser Window Behavior Issue

I've got a site that has a list of names of deceased people.
When a viewer clicks on a name I have a new browser window open
that is a small memorial page specific for that person. This list
is fairly long so the viewer has to scroll down a ways to get to
the bottom. If the viewer clicks a name towards the bottom and then
closes that new browser window they have to scroll all the way back
down and find where they left off. This of course, is assuming they
are going in order to view the memorial pages for each person. Is
there a way to make the "original page (with the list of names)"
not refresh to the top of the page? I'm using and would like to
continue using tables and not layers or styles.
Information can be sent onto [email protected]
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Cody

Cody,
It sounds like you are using <a href="#"
Try using <a href="javascript:;"
Or better yet, use David Powers' Smart Link:

Open new browser window

it also opens in the parent window at the same time. For
instance, I have a home page and when you click on a link I want it
to open up in a new browser window. so i set the behavior to do
this and it works. However, the first window also changes to the
new link so I then have two windows open with the same link I just
clicked on. The main window doesn't stay as the home page. any
suggestions? Thanks.

Also David Powers' Smart Link extension may come in handy:

Cache problem for servlet opening new browser window

Requirement:
I have JSP page say summary.jsp with link "print account summary"
When user clicks on this link, new browser open with PDF document of summary.jsp
This new browser window should not have address bar and toolbar.
Solution:
Servlet called PrintSummary which sets contenttype=application/pdf and sends the data to outputstream.
href of link is
Java script function is:
function openWindow(url){
window.open(url,'blank','toolbar=no')
Problem:
Since the URL of this new window is
http:// host:portnumber/PrintSummary
Even if I click the "Print summary" link for account2,
being the same URL (http:// host:portnumber/PrintSummary) it accesses the existing page in the cache which is created for account 1.
In href if I just use servlet url as
I get the expected behaviour but then I don't have control on browser appearance and browser window will be with address bar and toolbar.
The only option I could think of was changing URL as follows:
<% String url ="javascript:openWindow('PrintSummary? var1="+ Math.random()+"')";
So that URL is different all the time
Is there any way to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance

Opening new browser window from View Library links

On some of the documentation pages, e.g. http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/ias.html , a new browser window is opened using target=new_win in the HTML code. This window will be re-used if the user goes back and clicks on another, similar link. It's better to use target=_blank for this purpose, because that would ensure that a new browser window is opened every time.

You would have to a) swap the image, and b) expose a
previously hidden layer
that superimposes the image with a transparent GIF on which
the onClick
behavior has been applied.

Open new browser window from a JApplet

Hi,
I want to open a new browser window from a JApplet.My first thought was to use the Live Connect technology but it worked only with simple applets not with JApplets.Then i tried it by getting the Applet context (getAppletContext() method) but it still didn't work with JApplet...(it worked with Applet).I believe it has something to do with the applet security but i haven't yet figured it out.
For example when i call the getAppletContext() method from a JApplet i get an java.security.AccessControlException ... .Thanks

I must correct myself now :).
The getAppletContext() method does work with JApplets too.Still , i have problems with the Live connection alternative.It seems that it by importing the netscape.javascript package i get the security eror that i mention above...
