Pop ups in new browser window constantly - HELP

A new Browser box has been constantly popping up with ads, facebook and other things right in the middle of whatever I am doing - this is getting very annoying. I have pop up blockers on and seems to happen only with Mozilla, which I love.
I tried to get into live chat and every time I attempted to click on your link yet more pop ups

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by malware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

How to pop up a new browser window to point to an external site

Please help. we want to popup an new browser window when click on a button and the new window is pointing to an external web site.
I can make it work to point to an external site in the same window. But that is not we want to.
I do see some old posting about this but it does not work for us.
Please anyone knows the detail of the steps and code, probably including any environment setting/configuration if required, response to this thread.
thanks a lot in advance!

ggu,
This is a gimmicky solution but it works and is reusable. Copy your button template and rename it POP_UP_BUTTON. Get rid of the #LINK# substitution string and replace it with:
window.open('#BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES#')Put the URL you want to go to in the attributes section of the button. Put something like "TO_<DOMAIN>" in the button request so it is not totally gibberish and irrelevant. This would be much nicer if the apex engine did not include the "apex.submit()" code inside of the #LINK# substitution string. Or if they provided a second substitution string just for the URL specified.
Here is the old code:
<button value="#LABEL#" onclick="#LINK#" class="button-default" type="button">
<span>#LABEL#</span>
</button>here is the new code:
<button value="#LABEL#" onclick="window.open('#BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES#')" class="button-default" type="button">
<span>#LABEL#</span>
</button>Cheers,

Ads are popping up when I open up new browser windows..HELP!

Every time I open up a new tab I get hit with adds. Also, when I do a google search, it will take over the google search results and put in different adds. Any idea how I can get rid of this?

Pop-ups and new tabs opening when I try to browse

Hello
I'm having trouble with pop-ups and new tabs for 'Mackeeper' among others, launching themselves in Safari on my MacBook Air. This has only just started after having the laptop for 3 months.
Operating system: OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
Speed: 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5
Storage capacity: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
I have tried troubleshooting by looking in 'Extensions' but there's nothing to remove. I've also tried Forum Member Linc Davis' advice, but unfortunately that's not working either.
I've tried all of the suggestions below, but nothing's working. It is driving me bonkers, so if anyone can help I would be most grateful.
Thank you
Jess

Help with image placement in new browser window.

I need help trying to position images that are being opened
in a new browser window. I have created a photo gallery with
thumbnails that are links to the larger image. Ive used the
behaviors panel to open the new image in a new browser window but
the image is always shown at the top left margins of the new
window. Is there a way to 1. center the image in the new window, 2.
change the background color of the new window that opens.
Any help would be appreciated.
Stu

If, as I read it, you are simply opening the image, it will
always be upper
left and cannot be changed. IF you wnat to position it, you
will need to
create a new html page and position your image on that page,
then call the
page, not the image from your thumbnail link.
In Dreamweaver in the command menu try the "Create Web Photo
Album" command.
It will create all of your pages, links and thumbnails for
you. (requires
Fireworks)

Hyperlinks pop up in a new browser window?

I have a pdf uploaded to my website with links. I need to make the hyperlinks pop up in a new browser window? Any ideas how to do this?

Thank you Bob! We will try out tests again today.

Just installed Malwarebyte and i am still getting unwanted pop ups and new windows.

Just installed Malwarebyte and i am still getting unwanted pop ups and new windows.

You can supplement your Malwarebytes Anti-Malware scan with some other tools Firefox users have found effective. See: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
But it also makes sense to check a couple of things manually.
(1) Extensions installed in Firefox
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then take a careful look and disable everything you either don't recognize or don't use regularly. If Firefox prompts you to restart to make the change effective, you can do that as the last step after completing your review of the list.
(2) Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program
Click the "Installed on" column heading to bring the most recent infections, I mean, additions, to the top. This is useful in revealing bundles that may have snuck unwanted software onto your PC. Remove everything you don't remember choosing intentionally.
Any improvement?

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.

Open discoverer report in new browser window and without connections page

Hi All,
We are using Oracle 11g Discoverer 11.1.1.4. Requirement is to open the discoverer report in a new browser window and without connections page.
When we are running discoverer reports with this parameters we unwantedly get the connections page of the discoverer plus which we don't want.
Went through the documentation given in this page and followed it still the issue persists, and i see couple of threads with my issue and no updates.
This excerpt is from the documentation available in the link
" _plus_popup=true and framedisplaystyle=embedded launches Discoverer Plus in a new pop-up browser window that contains the Plus applet embedded in it "
http://www.art2dec.com/documentation/docs/oas10g1012/linux/bi.1012/b13918/urlstart.htm
and Here is what we use to invoke our reports.
http://ipaddress:port/discoverer/plus?cn=cf_123&_plus_popup=TRUE&framedisplaystyle=EMBEDDED&wb=disc_wb_1
Request the forum users from PRO discoverer group to help me out of this issue and expect a good discussion on this.
Thanks in advance

Closing the thread
We were able to achieve by changing the browser settings in the IE 8 Browser. Disabled Tabbed browsing.

New browser window with javascript

Hello,
I'm trying to accomplish something similar to what has been
discussed in other threads (Jess Learnin, 9/30/2008, and another
thread from back in '07). I've tried the advice given in these
threads and have had no luck. I would like to create a button to
call a new browser window that displays a URL of my choosing. I'd
like to specify the size and attributes of the new window. I've
created a small dummy tutorial in order to work on this feature.
I'm using the "Execute Javascript" option when configuring
the button. I include the following javascript:
window.open('
http://lib.berkeley.edu/BIOS/index.html',
'myWindow','height=400, width=700, toolbar=no');
I have the Captivate button context set to "Current". I have
deselected "Continue Playing Project" (though I've tried it with
that option selected as well).
I've tried prefacing the script w/
"javascript:window.open...", but no luck.
I'm testing the file on a development server, rather than
from a local copy. When I test in Firefox, my movie simply stops
when I click the button, without opening a new window or loading a
web page. When I test in IE7, the movie stops and I get a message,
"Error on page"; still no new window.
I do notice that I'm currently running Flash Player 10. I'm
using Captivate 3. When I publish my file, my options only go up to
Flash Player 9, which is what I have chosen. I don't know if this
would make a difference.
I have also tried altering the standard.js file in the manner
that jbradley88 suggested in the 9/30/08 thread, and using the
corresponding javascript in the button properties window, with
similar unsuccessful results.
I have tried running the movie on a different computer, in
case some local setting was somehow mucking things up. I get
nothing.
Any suggestions? If anyone's willing to take a look, I can
send along my small dummy .cp file that I've been working on.
Thanks in advance.
-Kelly

Hi John,
Here's the exact javascript that I currently have associated
with the button:
void(window.open('
http://lib.berkeley.edu/BIOS/index.html',
'myWindow','height=400, width=700, toolbar=no'));
I've tried multiple permutations, including placing
"javascript:" in front of the script, both with and without the
void().
The message in IE7 just says "Error on page". It's not a
pop-up message; it's just the small message that appears at the
bottom left of the browser window in IE7 when a page fails to load
properly. The message doesn't appear until I click on the button
that's supposed to call the javascript. There's a yellow
exclamation point icon that appears next to the "Error on page"
message. When I click on that I get:
"Problems with this Web page might prevent it from being
displayed properly or functioning properly. In the future, you can
display this message by double-clicking the warning icon displayed
in the status bar."
It also displays a pointer to the error:
Line: 1
Char: 111
Error: Syntax error
Code: 0
URL:
http://library11.berkeley.edu/bios/kelly/Practice_demo.htm
I looked at the source for the page as displayed by IE7 (have
also looked at the .htm and .js files generated by Captivate) and
haven't seen anything obvious, but I'm somewhat unschooled in such
matters.
If it would help to see what it does, you can view the demo
at the URL above.
Thx again,
Kelly

How do get a dynamic image to open in new browser window

I'm using DW CS3, mysql (MAMP) OS 10.6.2 I'm designing my online store. I need the customer to be able to click dynamic image/thumbnails to view a larger image in a new browser pop up window 400 x 400. An example of this functionality can be seen at :
http://www.designpublic.com/spot-on-square-roh-dresser
So far I can get the separate new browser window to open with the dynamic image, using the open new browser behavior, but the on click also advances to next page with the larger image. You have to press the back button to get back to the product page. I want the customer to be able to see the product page , while viewing larger image, and then close larger image, and still have the product page open. I don't understand why 2 windows are opening.
Thanks for the help people!
William

Hi
I did look at it but, (and this is only my opinion, I do not like such effects) it is your decision.
If you view source you will see -
<a href="#" onclick="popWin('http://www.designpublic.com/catalog/product/gallery/id/12706/image/91883/', 'gallery', 'width=300,height=300,left=50,top=50,location=no,status=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes'); return false;" title="Spot on Square Roh Dresser" class="gallery-image-link"><img src="http://arcsmedia01.s3.amazonaws.com/catalog/product/cache/2/thumbnail/56x56/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/r/o/roh_dresser1.jpg" alt="" /></a>
Which is controlled by the javascript function
popWin()
which you can view using the firefoxe dev toolbar - view javascript function.

How to show an HTML page in a new browser window

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to show a page generated by some servlet in a new browser window when the button is clicked on the applet. I can accomplish that by using AppletContext as in:
myApplet.getAppletContext().showDocument(servletUrl, "_blank");
The only problem with this is that I don't have any control over how the new browser window is displayed. Using JavaScript I can set size, hide toolbar and address bar, etc. But how can I hide address bar on a new browser window generated in this scenario?
I tried to call intermediate servlet from my applet which in turn generates a new window by writing out JavaScript code. This way I lose my previous page with the applet even though a new window is displayed the way I wanted but I want this new browser window to act as a pop-up box and my applet page stay on screen. Also, is there a way to send a POST request from an applet by using AppletContext.showDocument() method?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Y.M.

Did you ever figure out a solution for this? I too would like to open a new browser window to act as a pop-up box and my applet page stay on screen. If anyone has any thoughts on how to do this, please post! thanks.

New browser window from CRM Web UI causes problems

Hi Experts,
We have several links to internal web sites that CRM users can access from the web UI. Problem is, whenever one of these links are selected, the user looses whatever it was they were doing in CRM and the main window displays the following message:
The object you have selected is starting in a new browser window. You can continue working normally in the current application. However, you may have to navigate back to the page you were working on.
Anyway to prevent this from happening? Would very much appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Stephen Brewer

Hello Brewer,
If your requirement is to open some URL say google.com etc in a now window, then there are only 2 ways
1) Use Transaction Launcher
2) Use PopUp Window.
1) If you use transaction launcher, and created the link in your direct link group then on click of the link, the URL will open in new window but you cant avaoid the message that you get in the current window. Also, if users POPUP Blocker is ON, user will never come to know why the new window has not launch.
2) This is very simple and straight forward approch for opening URL. However, POPUP windows in WEB UI are modal windows, so say on click on a button on Account Overview Screen, i open google.com in a popup then unless i close this popup , i can not work on the account overview screen . However, you can see the account overview screen as it is and you can resume back when the popup is closed. Also you can define the even handler on close event of pop up so you can pass the data to & fro between the webclient view and the pop up.
to open some extrenal URL in a PopUp , You will need to create a blank view and attach it to a window. In .htm file of the view, you can use tag IFRAME and call your external URL here.
Hope its helpful.
Thanks & Rregards
Prasad
PS : the popup blocked problem will still be there however, it flashes a message like pop up blocker is ON in case of using popup window

Firefox 3.6.8 Opening unrequested new browser windows

I have a new Gateway laptop with Intel Core i5 2.26 Ghz and4 gb ram. I downloaded Firefox immediately, my browser of choice. However, what I've discovered is that almost immediately Firefox would open an unrequested new browser window when I click a link. E.G. I was on Yahoo today and clicked a link to daniweb after doing a search. (I was testing the theory.) Almost immediately there was a very quick flash of my browser window, almost as if something was opened and immediately minimized. After that daniweb loaded. If I go to the start bar and hover over the Firefox (Using Win 7) icon, it shows only 1 open browser window. About 30 seconds later though, the new browser window pops up in front of the Daniweb window. This time, the new window contained the following URL... http://www.yellowpages.com/raleigh-nc/programming?From=MRCH2 As you can see, it basically did a yellowpages search for programming in my area, presumably because I am going to an IT site. And now, if I hover over the Firefox icon on the start bar it shows to open browser windows.
The window which pops up unrequested is frequently yellowpages although sometimes it's a news site with a search for whatever I had clicked on. Occasionally it has been a "you have won site". I have pop-up blocker turned on and have tested through various test sites that pop-up blocker is in fact working. In some ways, this is more insidious because it's not a pop-up like we think of a pop-up, rather it's an entire browser window.
I have googled and googled trying to find a solution and thus far no one else has posted anything similar to this problem.
