Portal not closing session when closing the browser window

Hi,
We have a problem in portal where the user logs onto Portal with their userid/password and has another window opened eg. www.google.com.
The user then closes their browser(x) on IE, but still has the other session opened. (www.google.com)
Later the user tries to logon to Portal, but is not prompted with their userid/password, and is taken directly into Portals.
This is a problem, we want the users to always be prompted with their userid/password.
Thanks
Sushanth

If the second browser session is a child of the first (e.g. started via Ctrl-N) the session context is inherited, including session cookies (here: MYSAPSSO2), which are relevant for user authentication against the portal.
That's how IE works.
If the second browser is a new instance and the session cookie is set in this browser session as well, it's a browser bug. Try to update OS and/or IE.

Issue Tracker app closing the browser window on chart page

Hi!
I am walking through the Issue tracker tutorial. I have created page 10 (Issues Resolved by Month) which is the chart page. Everything looked fine until I try to run the page. Then it simply closed the browser window after it authenticates me. Anyone else see this? Any ideas?
Thanks!

Probably a problem with your SVG viewer installation. Does it happen on other chart pages as well? What browser/svg viewer version combination are you using? There are some known issues with what's labeled as the current svg viewer on Adobe's website and Firefox.

Closing the browser window

I have a page that opens vignettes [videos] built using Captivate in a new window. What I'd like is to close this window once the video has stopped playing i.e. reached the last slide/frame.
I've tried setting properties on the last slide in the project to "Execute Javascript" and using "window.close();" as the code. But this doesn't seem to close the browser window. If I change the JS to something like "alert('Hello');", it works i.e. I do get a JS Alert window at the end of the video.
I am sure this is easy for folks who've been working with Captivate, but I just started using this morning so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Closing the browser window in the runtime

Hi all,
How to close the browser window at the runtime?
It should be based on the button click....

With the JavaScript function window.close().
See e.g. here an example and a remark on its usage:

I was playing with the Group Tabs/Panorama function and accidentally closed all of my tabs. Then I closed the browser window. Is there any way to restore all my tabs?

I'm using Firefox 6.

I have the same issue and didn't even close my browser. I closed a tab group, and they're ''gone''. I've always used ''warn me when closing multiple tabs''; why didn't it prevent this?
I dutifully updated to 6.0.1 (Win7 Pro 64bit SP1) today, and saw "''Tabs, meet groups''." I played briefly with a group and then clicked (x).
While exploring the UI, I had assumed I was manipulating a filter rather than the actual tabs. No reason to suspect this would close an entire window's worth. The "restore tab group" button suggested I'd merely ungrouped the tabs. No biggie; new feature playtime is over for now. The background blur was still present, so again no worry that my six or eight tabs were about to be annihilated.
The recently closed window list includes three pages from yesterday. Naturally the recently closed tabs ''from the other window'' aren't here.
My full history is sorted by visit date; why isn't each tab added to today's list after a restart? Now I'll search the entire history to ensure I'm not forgetting one. Tab groups are likely quite nifty, but for now I'm irritated with 'em.
'''Why didn't "''warn me when closing multiple tabs''" kick in''' to alert me?!
SUGGESTION:
'''''Warning:''' The 'tabs group' feature does not care if you've checked "warn me on closing multiple tabs." If you click the (x), you're hosed.''

Html code for closing the browser window on logoff.

Hello,
I am using the logoff redirecrt url feauture to divert the logoff page to a custom made html page. I want this page should be closed automatically after being called i.e. when I click the logoff button it should divert to this custom html page and than close the browser automatically.
Can you please help me with the code for this custom html page so that it closes the whole browser automatically when it get called.
Regards
Deb

Don't know about the coding. May be we can do it by setting the property
Initial State - Open or Closed or may be make that window Invisible.
Others will advice you soon related to this.

Closing the browser window in Java

Hi All,
My wireless application works on a PDA browser. The PDA browser doesn't support javascript. When user wants to logoff from the application, he clicks on the logoff button. After clicking it the current browser window should close.
I am using XHTML-MP markup language to develop the page instead of HTML.
I need a piece of code (Example Java code, not Javascript code) in order to close the current window browser.
Any help will be welcome.
Shrikant

There is no such code, I hope.I wouldn't be sure about PDAs. I haven't used one yet. But logically, there should not be any code like that.

Data selected is not displaying but when refresh the browser it displays

The system brings back a record after the record is selected from the database. The data is in memory but is not display. When the browser is refreshed, the data displays.

Sorry but this is an internal system. The problem is baffling because there seems to be no consistency in its patterns. Sometimes when we pull up an account, it would show the info. Other times the same information does not come up. We thought it could be missing records, i.e. orphaned rows, but this isn't the case. It is quite odd and especially hard to bug because we can't consistently replicate it.

I can not type a url in the browser window when I open a new tab. Why not?

I open a new tab click in browser window and see cursor but it does not blink. If I click in google search window it works fine. I can redirect using bookmarks but if I want to just type it in, it acts blocked or locked. Could I have done something to cause this? How can I fix this?

Are you using the same extensions on both computers?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Closing the browser windows created by web.show_document and javascript

From Forms I am issuing a http request using web.show_document and javascript:window.open(). The http request makes a remote procedure call to a coldfusion component on a JRun appserver. I want this rpc to fire in the background so that the current forms browser window remains as is.
The logic is as follows
l_rpcURL := 'http://....just a standard URL.....'; -- edited for this thread
l_jsURL := 'javascript:window.open("' || l_rpcURL || '","","fullscreen=no,titlebar=no,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,status=no,resizable=no");self.close();';
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT (l_jsURL,'_blank');
The http request works fine but leaves a browser window behind. It's the one created by the javascript.window.open(). If I remove the self.close() from the javascript then I have two browser windows open, one from web.show_document and the other, as described previously, from the window.open().
Any idea how I can force closure of the window opened by the window.open() ?
Thanks

Hi,
did this occured afer installing service pack 2?
A work around is The only solution that is to create a close.html file and calling this file in the code: Web.show_document('http://server:port/close.html','_self');
<html>
<body onload="closeit()">
<script>
window.close();
</script>
</body>
</html>

Closing the browser window, after the dialog box

How are you handling the 'NO' scenario ?
Moreover are u firing the plug even before popping up the message ? Please check this once.. it might be the cause for it.

Are you popping up the confirmation dialog from a WD application ?
If so there will be a handler method for action 'NO' very similar to the following :
    CALL METHOD window->subscribe_to_button_event
      EXPORTING
        button            = if_wd_window=>co_button_yes               " For the button YES
        button_text       = <button_text>
        tooltip           = <tooltip_text>
        action_name       = 'YES_ACTION'                                  " Handler action for YES. Ideally the plug should be fired here
        action_view       = view_controller
        is_default_button = abap_true.
    CALL METHOD window->subscribe_to_button_event
      EXPORTING
        button            = if_wd_window=>co_button_no
        button_text       = <button_text>
        tooltip           = <tooltip_text>
        action_name       = 'CANCEL_ACTION'                            " Handler action for NO
        action_view       = view_controller
        is_default_button = abap_false.
The handler method for action CANCEL_ACTION will be ONACTIONCANCEL_ACTION. The handling should be done there.

I've having a problem with not being able to move the browser window around on my desktop. My last alternative is to uninstall Firefox and try a reinstall, but I'm afraid I'll loose all of my bookmarks. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks--

When I restart the browser, its not opening the previously opened tabs even though I saved before closing the browser. Pls guide me.

Dear sir,
When I restart the browser, its not opening the previously opened tabs even though I saved before closing the browser. This problem was not there in the older versions less than 3.6.8. Even the browser speed has gone down. This is everyday problem with this browser.
Pls suggest ASAP.
Thanks & Regards,
Tripad

Firefox no longer loads home page or deletes cookies. I have repeatedly checked both settings and they are correct. It always goes to the last page I was on when I closed the browser ..

How do I configure Firefox 4.01 to save all tabs when closing the browser?

In the previous version 3.x.y of Firefox, when I closed the browser, it asked me if I wanted to save my open pages / tabs before closing. When I subsequently opened the browser again, it reloaded all the previously open tabs / pages. In version 4.01, before closing the browser warns me that I am closing multiple tabs but when I restart the browser again, it does not load the previously open tabs. How do I configure the browser to behave like the old 3.x.y version, i.e. neatly saving all the open tabs and loading these again when opening restarting the browser?

Hi TonyE, this was a very useful reply. The first part of your answer had already been posted by someone else. Your answer in particular shows the nitty gritty detail of how to automate it. I had searched in the options already but had not found step 3 above yet. But I have found it now and have changed it from "Home page" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time".
Thanks a lot for letting me know this solution and making me aware of the drop down list.
