Opening Default Topic page in a new window

Hi there,
I am new to RoboHelp HTML. I have recently started using it
for work and was asked to look into something.
I am using version 7.
The problem we have is that the RoboHelp html files are being
incorporated into a web application. There is a link in the
application called "User Guide". This link opens up the RoboHelp
html files in the same browser window as the application.
Therefore, when the user wishes to go back to the application or
close the help files, he/she can't because it's all in one window
and the application has session (so it wont let you go back to the
application if you are in the help).
I know it's possible to simply add a Target="_blank" to the
actual "User Guide" link on the application side - for it to open
the help files in a new browser window.
However, I wanted to know if there is any way to configure
the RoboHelp HTML to start the inital page - default topic in a new
window from the actual RoboHelp software.
Can someone shed some light on this please?
I hope my question is clear enough, like I said, I am new to
RoboHelp so my apologies if I haven't explained myself clearly
enough or used the right words.
Anyways, let me know.
Thanks!

Hi Estel-mm and welcome to our community
Your requirement cannot be met with simple use of RoboHelp
HTML. It will likely require hand crafting some special JavaScript
function to make it work. And here's the rub. Assuming you get it
to work, it may have an adverse effect in that if you configure the
default topic to open this way and your end user just happens to
land on that Default topic again, poof! Another new window.
Just a thought... Rick

Open a bsp page in a new window?

Hi All,
I am creating a BSP application wherein i have a htmlb button for "help".
I want to open this help page in a new window, so that alongwith the help page the user can
view other pages also simultaneously.
Is there any way by which i can open this BSP page into a new window without loosing
the contents of the current page on which the help button is present.
A sample code for opening page in new window will be of great help.
Thanks in Advance for your help.

Hi,
Pls try the below logic :
<htmlb:button id = "help"
text = "Help"
design = "standard"
onClientClick = "window.open('http://www.sap.com')"
tooltip = "Help"
/>
This will work for you.

Firefox randomly opens an existing page in a new window

I open Firefox with no problem - it opens all my existing tabs. When I choose a tab, and run the cursor over a page (no button pressed) Firefox will randomly (not always) open that page in a new window. VERY annoying!

The problem occurs with no clicking or dragging, but thanks ...

Each time I click on a link, firefox opens up the page in a new window, how do I prevent this from happening, ie. view the page in the current window?

Until I installed an Adobe update, my firefox worked fine, I have had to restore my computer and restart firefox due to advertising which was installed along with the update. Now each time I click on a webpage, a new tab opens and I can no longer view the webpage in the current tab. As you can tell, I am not that computer savy, but I have tried to change all the settings in the options and nothing has worked. I hope this makes sense, please help as it's driving me mad having all of these tabs.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

ForwardImmediately to open new page in a new window

Hi,
Is it possible to force the forwardImmediately method to open the specified page in a new window? Like the Target Frame = _blank on the Link item.
I am unable to use JavaScript to do this.
Can forwardImmediately be modified to do this or can I create a link item on my page and dynamically fire it from with the processRequest method of my controller?
Any help will be appreciated.

After I have opened a page in a new window Firefox after a few secs return to the previous page.

I click on a link in one page to open another page in a new window. This happens and I am brought to the new window, but after 1-3 secs I am brought back to the original window.
To go to the new window I have to move the cursor to the list at the bottom of the screen and click on the entry for the new window.
This behavior started a few weeks ago (say early September).
The problem is consistent.

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

Open a page in a new window passing him some parameters

Dears all,
System used : SAP WebAs 6.20
I have a link in my application which will open a contact form in a new window. This occurs by this mean :
a href="#" onMouseDownMethod="pop()" class="fontNavRIS">CONTACT US
script
function pop() {
window.open('order.htm', 'nom_popup',"menubar=no, status=no, scrollbars=yes, menubar=no, resizable=yes,width=480, height=680");
/script
When we click on the linh CONTACT US, we will open a new window with the page Order.html inside.
In this page, we will fill a form and will send it by e-mail. All that is Ok.
What I would like, is to be able to pass some values to the new window so that it fills some fields in the contact form. With JavaScript I don't know how to pass the parameters to another window.
I tried too with cookies, but I don't have any knowledge in this domain.
Thanks by advance if someone can help me.
Regards,
Nelson

Hi,
Sorry Arun but I don't understand one point.
this code :
navigation->goto_page( 'third.htm' ).
is ABAP code right ?
Today I use this :
window.open('order.htm', 'nom_popup',"menubar=no, status=no, scrollbars=yes, menubar=no, resizable=yes,width=480, height=680");
because I call my new window from a JavaScript function.
navigation->goto_page( 'third.htm' ).
is not javascript code, I can't replace my code by this one. This give me an error.
Like explained, I've tried to do this :
function pop() {
<%
navigation->set_parameter( name = 'username' value = '123' ).
%>
window.open('order.htm', 'nom_popup',"menubar=no, status=no, scrollbars=yes, menubar=no, resizable=yes,width=480, height=680");
But I have this message : The field "navigation" is unknown, but there is a field with the similar name "_m_navigation"
I do all this manipulation always in the Layout section of my page

UIX question: Open printable page in a new window

I am using 10.1.2 version of JDeveloper with UIX/ADF.
In one of the UIX pages, I am using a submit button to fire an event named printMe to open the uix page in a printable format.
<event name="printMe">
<showFacet name="printable"/>
</event>But, understandably this takes out all the links in the page and the only way to go back to the original page is to use the back button (which users might find unintuitive). I was wondering if there is a way to make the printable page to open in a new window?
I don't think using the destination or onClick attributes of the submitButton with the javascript:openWindow() function would achieve this. Because this still loads the page in a 'printable' format in the same window and opens a new window in the 'non-printable' format.
I would like to know, if there is a way to direct the printable facet to open in a new window leaving the original page as-is, so the users can print, close the new window and resume using the application.
Or is there a better way to handle this, as I am open to ideas if there is a better way to address this usability issue.
Thanks in advance,
Karthik

Dear Sir...
assume that in order to view the report in the page, you should change the where clause of a view object for example (this is dependent on how and what settings you want to make for the page. it does not have to be like this, it is dependent on how you prepare data, perhaps you do not have to prepare anything at all, i do not know what code you have).
So, assume that in order to view the print report, your code was something like this:
public void onViewReport(DataActionContext ctx)
ViewObject V=GetView(); //
V.setWhereClause("myfiled=123"); //
V.executeQuery(); // these steps used for preparing data
ctx.setActionForward("printpageforward"); // go to print page
Now you remove this code , go to the print page, and override the print page prepareModel method with something like this:
protected void prepareModel(DataActionContext actionContext) throws Exception
super.prepareModel(actionContext);
ViewObject V=GetView();
V.setWhereClause("myfiled=123");
V.executeQuery();
Now you add the script to your button to show the print page in a new window, and that is it. your print page should work fine.
best regards

Opening a web page in a new tab appear web page from the history

When I like to open a web page in a new tab, is opening a BLANK page and in the new tab's address bar appear a random web page address from history .

Try performing a clean reinstall.
Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

When I left-click the home button, how can it open my home page in a new tab?

I thought it used to do that. I had to do a clean install of Windows, I believe I was only on FF 22 or 23 when this happened. Now I'm on FF 26 and obviously all my settings are gone.
I'm 99% sure that when I left-clicked on my home button, it opened my home page in a new tab. I know I can middle-click to get that affect, but it used to be left-click and I do that automatically now. But I don't want to lose the current window I have up, so something's wrong.
Anyone know how to fix this? Or an add-on to do this?

If you hold down the Ctrl key while left clicking the Home button then the home page opens in a new tab. 
You can also middle-click the home button like you can with any other link
