Redirecting using a new browser tab or window

How does one send a redirect response to a new window or tab of a browser?
Currently forwarding to a new URL with AOL function in a controller class using pageContext.sendRedirect("Initialize.jsp?queryString1="value"&OAFunc=UI...")

Unless I'm missing something that's not what I'm looking for. I know how to open a pdf using Reader. I'm talking about opening a pdf directly off of a website to open in reader and not in Chrome. There used to be a box in edit>preferences that you could check/uncheck if you wanted to open the file in the browser or not.
This solution I believe is File>Open then select the pdf I'd want to view.

On Firefox 4, the back button does not work on a new browsing tab or window.

Ever since I installed Firefox 4, I have noticed a problem that was not present with the previous version of Firefox. Whenever I open up Firefox and enter in a new web address, I cannot use the back arrow to go back to my original homepage; the arrow is ghosted out. The same problem exists when I open up a new browsing tab. Let me explain with an example. I open up my browser, and then I open a new tab (now there are two tabs open). In the new tab I type www.espn.com. Then I click on a link on espn.com. Say then I want to go back to the espn.com homepage that I just previously visited. I can't do it by clicking the back arrow; it's ghosted out. I have to physically type the address again (www.espn.com). Why has this changed? Is there a way to fix it? Why can't I just click the back arrow to go back to the espn.com homepage that I typed in originally (or my original homepage if I opened up a new window instead of a tab)? Oddly enough, if I go one link deeper into the espn.com site, I can then go back to the immediately preceding webpage, but not all the way back to the original espn.com homepage.
I can't stand IE, but it doesn't have this problem. This problem also was not present on the old version of Firefox. I just verified this by testing the old version which I have installed on another computer.
Please advise.

Same problem here: I never had a problem with the previous versions and now I don't even get my homepage when I click Firefox. Instead, I am getting a blank screen that says "New Tab", only after I click the "Home" symbol I get my Homepage (Yahoo). The browser - back and browser forward button don't work anymore, very annoying. Normally a newer version should be an improvement but it looks like Mozilla really messed up with this "improvement". probably I am going to use Google chrome from now on.

How to download blob image, inline to new browser tab or window

APEX V4.2.3
I have an interactive report with a blob download column which is set to inline. When I click on the "download" link the image appears automatically in same window as the APEX application. How do I download the image into a new browser tab? I need to squeeze 'target="_blank" ' somewhere but I don't know where as the link structure is hidden.
Here is the code for my download column in the Interactive Report.
select
decode(nvl(dbms_lob.getlength(BLOB_CONTENT),0),0,null,
'<img style="border: 4px solid #CCC; -moz-border-radius: 4px; -webkit-border-radius: 4px;" '||
'src="'||
apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P98_BLOB_CONTENT',image_id)||
'" height="100" width="100" alt="'||FILENAME||'" title="'||FILENAME||'" />')
as detail_img,
from "#OWNER#"."TIS_ATTACHMENTS"
thanks in advance
PaulP

I would suggest
SELECT ID, NAME,CASE WHEN NVL(dbms_lob.getlength(document),0) = 0
THEN NULL
ELSE CASE WHEN attach_mimetype like 'image%'
THEN '<img src="'||apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P4_DOCUMENT',id)||'" />'
ELSE
'<a target="_blank" href="'||apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P4_DOCUMENT',id)||'">Download</a>'
end
END new_img

Hyperlinks won't open in new browser tab or window

How do I get hyperlinks to open in new window? "Open in new window" box is checked under hyperlinks, but it just won't work. I'm previewing in a browser, not Muse (Chrome and Safari).

Hi Pblossom,
Can you please send your .muse file to [email protected], along with a link to this thread? If your file is too big for email (larger than 20mb) you can use a service like Adobe SendNow or SendThisFile.

Embedded hyperlink into new browser tab/window

Hi Team,
There is a requirement in my project for that, need to open embedded hyperlink into new browser tab/window, hyperlink is available in the pdf file which is open in browser (Internet Explorer).
More than 2 lakh user is using the product so, there is any way to set the hyperlink target as a _blank so that the link open in new tab/window.
Is there any adobe API is there which can support the above requirement?
Is there any other way which can fulfill the requirement?
End user is more than 2 lakh so, am not going to change the setting of Adobe reader as well as browser.
Need your help to resolve the issues.
Regards,
Rupesh

Yes, there is an API that is supposed to do this in the Web brower. Does it work? Not reliably is what I have found because different web browsers seem to interpret the way that Acrobat calls for a new window differently.
launchURL
7.0
S
Launches a URL in a browser window.
Note:    Beginning with Acrobat 8.1, File and JavaScript URLs can be executed only when operating in a privileged context, such as during a batch or console event. File and JavaScript URLs begin with the scheme names javascript or file.
Parameters
cURL
A string that specifies the URL to launch.
bNewFrame
(optional) If true, this method launches the URL in a new window of the browser application. The default is false.
Returns
The value undefined is returned on success. An exception is thrown on failure.
Example 1
    app.launchURL("http://www.example.com/", true);
Example 2
Add an online help item to the menu system. This code should be placed in a folder-level JavaScript file, or executed from the JavaScript Debugger console.
    app.addMenuItem({
        cName: "myHelp", cUser: "Online myHelp",
        cParent: "Help",
        cExec: "app.launchURL('www.example.com/myhelp.html');",
        nPos: 0
Related methods are openDoc and the Doc object getURL method.

I can no longer open a new browser tab by either clicking the + at the end of the last browser or by using the Ctrl key + T, how do I fix this?

I have uninstalled firefox and reinstalled firefox to try and solve this
issue, but it has not fixed the issue. To open a new tab I must right click
any current page link to get a new browser tab and then navigate to a new web address. This is a recent issue that just started happening and I can't figure out what happened or what got disabled. Please help me fix this.

Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.

Open URL from Java in a new browser tab

Hi OTN,
Surprisingly can't find the implimintation.
In an ADF managed bean I retrieve String url. I need to open a new browser tab with this url.
Found this thread Open a url in a new window in the backing bean which shows using javascript "service.addScript(facesContext, "window.open(http://www.google.coml)");".
But in my case in doesn't work. The code is executed, but nothing happens. Maybe because the bean is called from a taskflow inline popup.
ADF 11.1.1.4
Thanks.

Well, I'm afraid that is not an option.
The goButton is in a table row. There are lots of rows so if I use EL for Destination attribute the URL would be retrieved for each of rows.
The method of URL retreiving is heavyweight operation which includes calling plsql functions, working with strings and others. So if I do it for each table row my application hungs and then I receive an exception of CPU usage.
That's why I switched to normal commandButton witch actionListener which retrieves url on click - only once. So I need to open URL from Java.

Open Bytearray in new browser tab??

hi
I get the content of a file from the database and I want to open the content in an new browser tab.
The content will be send to the frontend as bytearray.
What kind of formats could be shown in a browser tab (e.g.: DOC, PDF, EXCEL)?
is it possible to open a new browser tap to show a bytearray file? How??
I just found only the possibility to open a pdf with e.g. a coldfusion script.
I don't use a coldfusion server or something like that.
How could I do this in PHP. I never used PHP.
thanks for any advice

Try this technique in a managed bean method that is invoked by your <af:commandLink>:
// Invoke your PL/SQL procedure
// Open the APEX site in a separate browser window
String apexUrl = ...;
ExtendedRenderKitService erks = Service.getRenderKitService(ctx, ExtendedRenderKitService.class);
String script = "window.open('" + apexUrl + "', '', 'location=0, status=0, resizable=1, scrollbars=0');";
erks.addScript(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(), script);Dimitar

Open in a New Browser Tab?

How do I open in a new browser tab (ex. IE & Firefox)? I
know how to open in a new window but cannot fins a command or code
to point to a new browser tab.

That's because it doesn't exist as far as I know. There is no
code like <a href ="xxx.com" target="_newTab">.
That is just an option the user can choose by right clicking
on a link and selecting "Open Link in a New Tab".
Just treat the content like it is opening in a new window.
You can name the new page and then focus in on it as if it is not
in a tab but a new window.

When I open my free aol email account, I keep getting redirected to a new open tab ad for Verizon Fios. Is there a way to block this in Firefox?

I tried SuperAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes but they didn't solve the problem. AOL email is the only place I'm having this problem and it's constantly happening while I have that email open. It will open up the same new tab time after time. Screen shot jpg will not upload but it shows 3 tabs for "FiOS Custom TV" with the following address - http://campaign.verizon.com/customizetv/?CMP=BAC-CON_2015-Q2_MM-ACQ-MZ2ACQQuizP3a_0576
Help?

I access my aol email through www.aol.com. When I got to my emails, another tab was automatically opening by itself and I was redirected to that newly opened tab with the page that had the Verizon Fios promotion/ad. This happened automatically and repetitively while I was trying to check my emails. (Note the multiple Verizon tabs in the screenshot attached to this inquiry)
This happened over the last 2 days while in my free aol email account. I did notice a Verizon ad at the top of my email inbox while this was happening. I never did click on or otherwise access the Verizon ad but was constantly redirected to the new page/tab while viewing my emails. I went to my aol email just now to see if this was still occurring; there is a different ad in place of the Verizon ad and I am no longer being automatically redirected to another tab/page. Don't know why it was happening when the Verizon ad was there but it's not happening now since the Verizon ad has been replaced with another ad from a different company.
Any thoughts on this?
thank you

How do I stop Firefox from opening a new tab when I click a link or navigation button (such as "home") instead of redirecting using the currently open tab?

Any time I click on a link within a page, such as the "home" link in Facebook, or the various links on the Mozilla page that I needed to follow to get to this screen, Firefox opens a new tab instead of redirecting using the tab I'm on. Also, Firefox doesn't go to the new tab, it just opens it. So if I want to actually go to the page I've just clicked on, I have to then also find and click on the new tab that just opened.

One solution would be to generate the report via an servlet which you then call with an af:golink with an target frame set to blank.

Since upgrade, Facebook redirects into a new browser window

I noticed for the past couple of days that when I'd be in facebook and click on a game it would open a new tab. But since upgrading it opens a whole new browser window.
Tonight I was playing Monopoly and it kept saying that my internet connection was lost (which this may be a problem with the game itself) but I didn't know if it was because I had several browser windows open all for FACEBOOK!

You can either use
