OPENING A NEW BROWSER TAB/WINDOW WITHOUT NAVIGATING TO IT

Hello there,
I am using flex navigateToUrl( urlRequest, "_blank"); function to open a new browser window. What it does is it also navigates to newly opened window by default. I want to remain in the same page, but still open this new window without focusing it.
Is there a way to do that
Thanks.

I would update your Adobe PDF plug-in first - it is 10.1.7.x and my version says 11.3.x) To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

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.

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.

Hyperlinks won't open in new browser tab or window

How do I get hyperlinks to open in new window? "Open in new window" box is checked under hyperlinks, but it just won't work. I'm previewing in a browser, not Muse (Chrome and Safari).

Hi Pblossom,
Can you please send your .muse file to [email protected], along with a link to this thread? If your file is too big for email (larger than 20mb) you can use a service like Adobe SendNow or SendThisFile.

WAD Report(Template to be opened in new browser tab)

Hi,
I have an urgent issue with WAD Report.
I have my Template with Tabstrip containing Link Item, which opens another template on click. For this I used transfer state instruction by which new template is opened in the same tab of browser,I need new template(on clicking Link Item) to be opened in new tab of browser and the old one to remain in same browser tab.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Rajeswari.

Hi
I did something similar before.
I had three tabs.
Summary Tab
Details Tab
Totals Tab.
By default when user runs the template, first tab is displayed with summary details. When user wants to drill down to the details of particular line, then user clicks on the row. When clicked on the row, details report gets generated in the second tab but user manually needs to go to second tab to see the details.
To achieve this i did the following
DP1, Analysis gird properties
"row selection"-->single with command and used SET_SELECTION_STATE_BY_BINDING.
Thanks

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.

How to open a new browser window without toolbar, location, and menu bars from AIR?

I have the following problem in my Flex+AIR application. I need to embed an ActiveX component that has JavaScript API inside my application. I tried to embed it inside <mx:HTML> component but unfortunately, AIR doesnot support plug-ins or ActiveX controls. So I've decided to open it in a new browser window. I tried navigateToURL(...) method but it has two problems - it is opening a new tab in the existing browser window and there is no way for me to configure the new browser window appearance, like removing toolbar, menu bar, location bar, etc. Then I tried to open a new window from JavaScript running inside <mx:HTML> component using window.open(...) API but it doesn't open a new window at all.
Is there any way for me to open a new browser window without toolbar, location bar, etc. (which will run ActiveX control, so it cannot be AIR window) from inside AIR?
Best regards,
Arkady.

After closing a browser window and if I open a new browser window , the browser will not open per my home page in tools/options/startup, it loads the last page

recently when opening a new browser, everything Is using and closed during my last session will open
multiple widows will open and whatever tabs were open per respective windows will open and not per tools/options/startup/homepage
this has never happened until just recently and nothing else seems to have changed nor has any new programs etc been loaded or changed

You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the <b>browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once</b> pref to true.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
Note that Windows hides some file extensions by default.
Among them are .html and .ini and .js and .txt, so you may only see file name without file extension.
You can see the real file type (file extension) in the properties of the file via the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer.
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

The best audience for applets is people off the internet. 'People off the internet' might be using a computer that has no (what was it?) 'open.html' in the root of the C: drive. In fact (shock horror) they may not even be running Windows, and would therefore probably have no 'C:' drive at all.
If you do not intend to distribute this to people off the web, an application makes a lot more sense, but even then, you cannot rely on the document being there unless you 'put it there' (during installation, for instance).
As the other poster intimated, applets can load documents off the local disk as long as they are trusted. Here is an example*, but note that it is not so rash as to presume any particular path or file, and instead leaves it to the user to choose the document to display.
* The short code can be seen at SDNShare on the [Defensive Loading of Trusted Applets|http://sdnshare.sun.com/view.jsp?id=2315] post.
On the other hand, a sandboxed applet can load any document coming from its own server via URL, or get showDocument(URL) to work. In that case, the JRE must recognize that the URL is from its own server, so the best way to form URLs for applet use is via the URL constructor
new URL(getDocumentBase(), "path/to/open.html");That is how I form the URL in this [ sandboxed example of formatting source|http://pscode.org/fmt/sbx.html?url=/jh%2FHelpSetter.java&col=2&fnt=2&tab=2&ln=0]. Of course, in this case the applet loads the document, then parses the text to draw the formatted version, but the point is that an URL produced this way will work with showDocument(URL).
I am pretty sure showDocument() in an applet off the internet will work with an URL pointing to a foreign (not its own) server, but it will not be able to load documents off the end user's local disks.
I suggest a couple of things.
- Try to express this problem in terms of what feature it is that you want to offer the end user. Your question jumps directly to a bad strategy for achieving ..who knows what? An example of a feature is "Shows the applet 'help' files on pressing F1".
- A good way to indicate interest in a solution is to offer [Duke stars|http://wikis.sun.com/display/SunForums/Duke+Stars+Program+Overview] to match that interest.
Edit 1:
..and please figure out how to use the CODE tags.

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.

Opening a new browser window in APEX

Hi.
I am trying to open a new browser window in APEX (v2.1) for a new Navigation Bar Entry.
What I did is the following:
1) Created the new Navigation Bar Entry
2) On the properties of this entry I put the Target Type: "URL"
and on the Target: javascript:window.open('f?p=&APP_ID.:63:&APP_SESSION.:::::' , 'Despre','scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=400,height=600');
when I click on my Navigation Bar Entry, the page 63 opens on the same window,NOT on a NEW browser window.
Can you please help ?

It seems that I found the answer.
I had to do the following:
javascript:(window.open('f?p=&APP_ID.:63:&APP_SESSION.:::::', 'Despre','Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=400,height=600')).focus();
and then logout and login back in the application and it worked.
