Opening a popup window from another popup

Hi,
I want to know if a popup window can be opened from another popup window??
Iam trying to do this from a JSP page
<td><a href="../common/help/Help_FAQ.html" onClick="return popup(this, 'FAQ','width=900,height=500,scrollbars=1')">FAQ.Now I have another link in FAQ page, which when clicked , rather than opening a separate full size window, overlays on the FAQ window with the FAQ window width and height.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
It was a mistake on my end.
Instead of having <script type ="text/javascript"> I had only "javascript"
and the page was not picking up the function .
Now,, It is solved.

Opening a Modal window from another Modal window

Hi All,
I am opening a Modal window from a Modal window which has applets in it. But when the child modal window opens up from parent modal window, the applets on the child modal window are not loading properly. But when I change the child modal window to normal window, then applets loads fine.
I just want to know how different is a modal window when compared to normal window when it comes to applets.
This is the problem which showed up only on specific machine but not on all the machines.
Is this because of some specific settings or could be any other reason?
Any help Pls!!!
Regards,
Rajesh.

Christian,
This problem is occuring on 2 machines which has Java 1.5. But rest of the machines which has 1.5,1.6,1.4 are supporting modal windows. So not really sure whether its a browser issue or JRE issue or it is how the modal windows behave in an inconsistent way. Really need a solution for this problem as early as problem.

Rajesh.

Opening one applet window from another

Hi everyone,
Can anyone provide any pointers about how I can open one JApplet from another (say, on a button click). I am new to applet development and I searched for examples on this forum and google, but could not find anything relevant.
Thanks,
Alan

Hi Dear
Just use this simple commmand.
String url;
url1 = "http://<Name of the HTML page>"
try {
getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL(url1), "_blank");
} catch(Exception e) {e.printStackTrace();}
This will prompt another browser. In this browser write u r applet code & load the class file.
One thing more this will not work in the case if you are using appletviewer , it will only work when you running u r applet over the network.
In case you wana test with appletviewer then initiate the browser from the system .... In that case you have to search the net.

Open popup window from non graphic window

Hi All,
i'm trying to open a popupwindow of one of my classes, but i
have no parent reference in the current class that i'm working
with, how can i refer to the main application window?

If you have a model for your application state, use this:
<mx:Application
xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
applicationComplete="this.onApplicationComplete()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private function onApplicationComplete():void
// Component map
this.model.map["app"] = this;
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>
You will be able to refer to this.model.map["app"] as the
parent of your popup window from anywhere in the application.

Open a Form in a popup window from a PL/SQL portlet

Hi,
I have a form that I want to open in a popup window from a URL in a PL/SQL portlet. What is the easiest way to do this? Are there any examples in here or on Metalink as to how to achieve this?
Thanks,
Steve West

Is it a HTML page somewhere on a server with a HTML form on it? You can use javascript tags in ur link to do this maybe?
javascript:window.open('http://<server name>/page.htm','mywindow','width=400,height=200')
Obviously if this is a portal form you can also link directly to the show procedure no problems.

Reg: Internal popup window from multiple Views

HI All,
I have a Internal Popup window() from 5 views, I am able to open a window and close from view1(according to the docs from SDN).
I tried using the same logic in remaining views(2,3,4,5).
I am able to open but while closing the window event fired is going to CompController and return to the "Parent window" of the Popup. For view2,3,4,5 this not taken as a parent window. Please help me
Thanks
Nagaraju

Hi Naga,
Disable the parent iviews message area before calling the child(popup) window. Then you can get the message in the child(popup) window.
According to documentation, oldest (parent) message area would be used if there are more than one windows (in a layout).
see this thread also How to display messages in pop up windows?

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.

I attempt to open a second window from the icon but it does not open then when firefox is closed it will not reopen because it is still running in processes but no window displayed until you kill the process and then restart firefox.

I attempted to open a new window from the Firefox icon but nothing happens. I then went on browsing and closed Firefox but was later unable to open it. I checked processes and it was already running but there was no window displayed. I am running Windows 7 Professional.
This is repeated any time I already have the browser open and wish to open a second instance.

Safari won't open to 'all windows from last session'

Safari is set to open to 'all windows from last session' - but it opens to a blank page. Not every time, but 75%+. I usually have multiple tabs open, not always the same ones, and this is slow, annoying and tedious to frequently reconstruct where I left it.
Any ideas?
I just moved to a MacBook from Windows and I am surprised to have an issue like this crop up so quickly (or well ever - based on Apple's reputation, that is - and all the glowing things my firends and associates have told me)

Open a Finder window. From the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy / paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
BTW, if you enable the Develop menu you can empty the Safari cache easily instead of having to go through your user library.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Then from the Safari menu bar top of your screen, click Develop > Empty Caches

How to open Adobe Reader file from another native IOS application?

There is an existing thread, but I want to re-open it because I think this is an important feature that we need badly. I was wondering if there is any plan to add this feature so we can open PDFs directly into Adobe from the web / other apps.
How to open Adobe Reader file from another native IOS application?
Basically, we just want to use a custom URL scheme to open a specific document in the App. Currently, this only opens the app but does not load the file.
APB

Not to hijack the conversation but I can explain why this would be useful for both the above case and another.
What I believe Pavel is talking about is setting up a "URL Scheme" for the Adobe Acrobat iOS application so that you can easily open a PDF specifically in Adobe Acrobat iOS from other native applications and even from web applications opened within Safari. This is particularly useful if your application requires some of the specific features in Adobe Reader iOS to grant them the best experience possible and you want to encourage this.
Another case: If you're using Adobe Livecycle's document security modules (that encrypts PDF files so that Adobe Acrobat must "phone home" to decrypt and view the document), these PDF's can only be viewed inside the Adobe Acrobat application and appear as blank in most other PDF readers. Having a URL scheme allows your application utilising this functionality to have a 1 click step to view the PDF rather than the current non-user friendly process:
- Within Safari, touch the PDF link (appears as blank in the default Safari PDF reader, which in itself is confusing)
- Touch "Open in..."
- Touch "Adobe Acrobat"
We have an immediate need for this functionality for the example above. I can resubmit it in a separate post if necessary.

"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.

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...

When I open a new windows from my current tab background turns black. Can this be disabled?

I use Remedy and when I open a new windows from my current one my background turns black. This started when I moved to the new update. Is there anyway to disable this?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
