Opening a new window from an event handler in IC WebUI

Hello ,
I want to open a new browser window on the click of a button (through the event handler) .This can be done using javascript ,but I ideally want it to be triggered from the event handler .The URL is dynamically
generated . Please do let me know if there are ways to achieve this .

Hi,
In the place where you declare your button write this code.
    ls_button-id = xx.
    lv_string1 = 'javascript:window.open( "'.
    lv_string2 = '" );'.
    ls_button-on_client_click = 'javascript:window.open( "lv_url");'
    CONCATENATE lv_string1
                lv_url
                lv_string2
                INTO lv_string3.
    ls_button-on_client_click = lv_string3.
    ls_button-enabled = abap_true.
    APPEND ls_button TO gt_editbutton.
pass your dynamic URL here to lv_url. Dont Pass anything to ls_button-on_click.
You can do this coding in DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT or IF_BSP_WD_TOOLBAR_CALLBACK~GET_BUTTONS wherever your button is present.

How to open a new window from the login window?

hi,
can someone tell me how to open a new window from an existing window, here by window i mean frame. The case is i hv two java files - oracle.java and FDoptions.java.

Is there a way to open a new window from the "Go" menu in Mavericks?

Before Mavericks, I was able to go from the Finder to the top menu "Go" -> "Utilities", or Applications or Home… and a new window would open.
Now I have to manually open a new window to avoid loosing my existing window.

Is there a way to open a new window from the "Go" menu?
First, as others have already stated.....make sure the checkbox is deselected for "open folders in tabs instead of windows" in Finder Preferences.
If you're like me and don't like tabs very much, there is a way to make folders always open in windows with a simple click (I'm using Mavericks 10.9.5). Go to a root folder (for example, the Documents Folder), open it, and select View > Hide Toolbar, then all folders within that root folder will open in a new window.
As an alternative method, any folder can be opened in a new window by holding down either Command Key while clicking the folder. But sooner or later you will forget to hold down that key, and then clicking on a folder will open in a tab (which will automatically resize the window and cause much aggravation).
The Hide Toolbar trick will also work with any folder present on the Desktop. It will make all folders inside that folder open in new windows.
To make the Applications Folder open in a new window when opening it from the menu bar at the top of the screen, you will have to open the main hard drive folder and use the Hide Toolbar trick. This will cause all folders inside it to open in new windows.
Hope this helps.

"open in new window"- from favorites panel - bridge

Hi Bridge, I love your way of working
However 2 things make my hair rise
- I can't "open in new window" from a favorited location. only in the "content" panel... which is rather "weird"
- I have to "reveal in finder" to be able to zip/rar files.
Please fix this, I know i am not the only one who would love this.

- I can't "open in new window" from a favorited location. only in the "content" panel... which is rather "weird"
To be honest, I never thought about that option, I always use the shortcut cmd + N for a new window and point to a folder in either folder panel or favorites panel. There is always something to learn
Having the same option in Favorites as in Folder panel would be very logical indeed!
- I have to "reveal in finder" to be able to zip/rar files.
I think you are bound to do so always because Bridge is in fact a browser and in itself not capable of editing files. The export panel did some tasks with resizing but has been discontinued in CC.
Only if Adobe made an application to unzip or open other packages the possibility for using the tools menu and reach the start up script for such app would be the shortest road possible to my knowledge. But also AFAIK Adobe does not offer such application.
And using MacOsX 10.8.4 my downloaded zip files are unzipping themselves automatically...
Please fix this, I know i am not the only one who would love this.
This won't work because this is a user to user forum, use the feature request option here:

Keep focus in the same window after opening a new window per key-event

I have an application in which user can press on a specific key, and that opens a new window in a JFrame. User might want open a few of such windows in a row by changing the cursor position and pressing the same letter key. But the problem is that with every new window Java VM transfers the focus to that new window. User is forced either to click to regain focus, or to move the mouse out-and-in the window, in which case the focus returns to it as well, assuming the X11 style of focus by cursor position of course.
Is there any way to keep the focus with the window on which the cursor is placed?

In your ActionListener your code should be something like:
JFrame anotherOne = new JFrame();
anotherOne.setVisible(true);
originalFrame.requestFocusInWindow();If you need further help then you need to create a [Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)|http://sscce.org], that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour.
Don't forget to use the Code Formatting Tags so the posted code retains its original formatting. That is done by selecting the code and then clicking on the "Code" button above the question input area.

How to open a new window from submit button &dialog page in current window?

We have a requirement, wherein we have a OAF search page for PO lines with search criteria, Go button to search ,result region (table layout) and a submit button(Create new expedite).
1. Now user can select some lines from result region and click on Submit button.
2. On click of submit button we need to pop up a window or may be a dialog page asking that " Do you want open supplier web link portal or not?".
3. If user clicks yes(in Dialog page) then first fetch the URL from a look up maintained in Oracle EBS on the basis of supplier of the lines selected and then open that URL in a new window and side by side we need to open a dialog page in search page asking "whether user has updated the expedite info in supplier portal or not?". On basis of this we need to updated some count in custom tables.
So in step 3 i am facing problem, that how to open an URL in a new window through a submit button and side by side want to open a dialog page in the current window also.
Hope a quick response from you all.
Note:- To open a custom page we can have a link or button(button of type button and not submit button) on base page with destination url property as following javascript:
javascript:var a = window.open('OA.jsp?page=/XXX/oracle/apps/xxx/......&retainAM=Y', 'a','height=500,width=900,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no'); a.focus();
So the question is how to do the same for submit button on OAF page???

Antriksh,
You just need to attach a submit action in button bean and not submit button bean, based on the output of confirm type of alert in javascript.
Here is code u need to put in destination url of the button:
//replace <confirm message> by message you want to show.
javascript:input=confirm('<confirm message>');if(input==true){submitForm('DefaultFormName',0,{XXX:' abc'});}" Now in the process request of the base page CO, u can get parametre 'XXX' from the pagecontext....so
if((("abc").equals(pageContext.getParameter("XXX"))))
{/// custom LOGIC }
The same i have replied in your mail. I hope this resolves the issue.

Yes, you are right Arun. That is more elegant way of
doing it. Keep it up. thankx..
Btw, why do you hate javascripts? Can you imagine the
internet world without javascript (or ant scripting
language)?yep i agree... but i try my best to avoid scripts.. as i had been workin around some japanese technologies... and there are three major mobile market players there... who has their own content type and all those devices never support javascript..
more over i donno that... in all 3 yrs i have never used that ;-))

Links will not open in new window from iPad but work in IE on desktop.

I am trying to set some links to open in a new tab but for some reason they just keep opening in the original tab. External links work fine but when I try to make another page from my website open in new tab, it will not work.
I have looked at the code and it all looks fine.
<a class="nonblock nontext shadow rounded-corners clearfix grpelem" id="u105617-9" href="metro_tweets.html" target="_blank"> Metropolitan Region TWEETS</a>
I have also ticked the box that says "open the link in a new window or tab".
Any ideas what the issue could be? It has worked before so I am sure it can be done.
Would it have anything to do with the site hierarchy?
Cheers
Garry

Hi Aish,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I had a feeling you would ask me those questions so I'll give you a bit more background of what I am doing.
I have created a locally accessed web app as part of project I am working on at Universty. It is a mockup of an iPad app that I will eventually build, although it is fully functional in it's web app state. For this reason it is not hosted on any web server but instead transferred to the iPad via DiskAid and accessed from Mercury Browser.
Mercury browser is the only browser that I have found that can display html files from within it's own file storage and make it look like it is being served from a server. Safari browser will not let you do this and the only other browser that I found that could do it has been discontinued (Terra Browser).
Adobe Muse has been fantastic for doing this kind of work and as I said before, the internal links opened in a new tab with Mercury Browser previously, so I am not really sure what is going on.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Cheers
Garry

I can't open any new windows from File [New Tab] and from clicking on [+] , as I usually did. And [Ctrl+T] doesn't work for me.How I can make it to work for me again, please?

I have to open the next window by right clicking on some link from previous site, who gives, '''''from drop down menu''''', option to [Open link in new tab] and then I can use that "fresh" tab.
It is my desktop, if it's important to know for help.

Option/command does not open a new window from bookmarks

I have an occasional problem: how come sometimes a bookmarked link in Safari does not open in a new window when I click option/command. or even shift/option/command. I have had and still have this issue over the last few iterations of OS X and Safari. Does not do it for all bookmarks just a few.

OK. A couple of other things to try in that case.
It may just be a corrupt preference file causing the issue, so quit Safari, trash this file and then restart Safari:
Hard drive > Users > Your Username > Library > Preferences > com.apple.Safari.plist
If that makes no difference, does it behave correctly when used from another user account on the same machine? If you don't have another account then use System Preferences > Accounts > \[+\] to create a temporary one for testing.

What does this mean when I try to open a new window "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: brw is undefined

The above message pops up when I click on new window, once I click OK the message goes and a blank new window does appear. It has also just happened when I was in BBC language site and tried to open a link, the message appeared but once I clicked OK the message went and the link did open. It does not happen when I open a new tab. This has only just started to happen over the last few days.

This issue can be caused by the McAfee Site Advisor extension

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Opening a new window from a navigation item

I want one of my navigation bar links to open in a new window. There doesn't seem to be a place where i can specify the target="_blank" attribute so I've tried using javascript.
If I enter: "javascript:window.open('URL HERE', 'WINDOW NAME HERE', 'location=yes,toolbar=yes,menubar=yes,directories=yes,status=yes,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=undefined,width=undefined', false);" into the Icon Target field the new window opens but the parent window displays "[object]" instead of staying on the same page. And if I enter it in the OnClick Javascript field nothing happens.
How can I do this?
Thanks

Hi Chimpanzee,
try a "SQL injection" - it's no sql injection but the same principle.
Use the following trick in your URL Target
http://my_new_url/" target="_blankThat should do it
