Shift focus to active tab?

Hi,
Is there a keyboard shortcut to shift focus to the active tab? I like to move between tabs using ctrlshiftarrow, but if the focus is on some element in the tab like a text box or button, the shortcut doesn't work. I usually have to click on the tab's title up top to get the focus in the right place so that I can move between tabs.

HI,
Try restarting your Mac and then do Command + Shift + < or >
Just make sure you haven't clicked inside a text box.

Shift focus to new tab opened in backing bean

Hi,
I have a tree whose nodes are displayed as command links. On click of these links I have corresponding method action in my backing bean that generates the URL which is opened as a new tab on the browser. Below is what my method looks like in the backing bean.
FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ExtendedRenderKitService erks =
Service.getService(ctx.getRenderKit(), ExtendedRenderKitService.class);
String url = "window.open('http://www.google.com', '_blank')";
erks.addScript(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(), url);
We are using IE7 and the problem is that the browser opens a new tab but doesn't shift the focus to the new tab. I added a simple af:goLink on my page with the targetFrame as"_blank" and it works fine. But its the script that I'm calling from my backing bean doesn't behave in the same way. We cannot ask the users to change their browser settings.
Jdev 11.1.1.5.0.
Thanks

Thanks Frank,
Since I'm generating this URL from the backing bean I did change the script in my backing bean to
ExtendedRenderKitService erks = Service.getService(ctx.getRenderKit(), ExtendedRenderKitService.class);
erks.addScript(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(), "window.open('http://www.google.com', '_blank').focus();");
But that also didn't move the focus to the new tab. When I embed the same string in the javascript on the page(jspx) it works fine.

you can also redefine the textarea's TAB Key behaviour. The tutorial has a good example for that - better than i would be able to describe :-)

Unwanted browser borders around active tabbed panel tabs

I'm getting unwanted borders around the active tabs in my Spry tabbed panels that seem to be added by the browser. For example I'm geting a fuzzy caterpillar border in Safari. Does anyone know how to turn off this effect? Thanks

Its called "outline" or focus borders, its in the browser for accessibility reasons. So when users use keyboard navigation, they know where they are on the page. If don't want it. You can remove it by adding outline:none to the css selector that targets the tabs

Since upgrading (FF29.0-Windows 8.0), only the active tab on any given Firefox window has the website name;other tabs have no name,only site logo. How do I fix?

I recently upgraded to Firefox 29.0 (running Windows 8.0). Since upgrading, only the active tab on any given Firefox window has the site name. All other inactive tabs generally have a site logo on the left side of the tab, but none of the other tabs have the website name. If I push Alt + Tab to cycle through the windows, the website name will then show up on each tab, but once I select a window to work in the website names disappear from the tabs again, except for the active tab. Is this a feature of the upgrade? Is there a setting to have the site names appear? I would really like to have the ability to see what site is on each tab without selecting.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:

How can I prevent the active Tab Group from changing whenever I close a tab?

Simply, often I will close a tab in Firefox 4; then, for some reason the active Tab Group changes to some other collection. It usually happens when I close the last tab in my tabs bar, but it has happened after closing other tabs, as well. Would love to prevent Tab Groups from changing automatically. Thank you!

Hi:
I tried precisely your suggestion before posting my message to the forum yesterday. I just forgot to mention it... Maybe I was afraid of increasing my message length more and more...
I already know that this solution prevents the MediaTracker from blocking. However...
(1) If they reach a troublesome image (like a Targa), the users of my application might not be pleased by its freezing for 10 seconds. Actually, this image loading module is part of an architecture for database applications from which my development team and I produce applications for various customers. Images are used, in particular, in Oracle BLOB support.
(2) If I use a smaller timeout delay, I have no guarantee that any image, whatever its length, will load properly (Targa excluded, of course). According to tests I performed yesterday, I am virtually sure that the 10-second delay will be busted very easily by pictures larger than 1 Mb. I cannot overlook this potential problem: an Oracle BLOB can contain up to 2 terabytes of data!
On the other side, I don't want to focus too much the attention on the JIMI Targa import filter because I know that a revised version of the JIMI and JAI packages will be part of JDK 1.4. This is why I am trying to figure out what is happening in the MediaTracker and Toolkit classes, which are much more fundamental than the Jimi ones...
Thanks anyway...
Best regards,

How can I automatically have a new tab always be a copy of the current active tab?

The add-on extension "NewTabURL" (by "sogame") provided the option I want and used for a number of years. But it stopped working when Firefox was updated to version 16.0. When I click for a new tab, all I get is a completely blank tab. How can I automatically have the new tab always be a copy of the current active tab?
Can the extension "NewTabURL" be revised to work in version 16 and/or version 17? If not, how else can I get the new tab functionality that I desire? I can't seem to find any other extension that provides that functionality.

My trackball has 4 buttons and a scroll wheel. Each of the 4 buttons is programmable. The 4 buttons are normally pre-programmed for single-click, double-click, drag and right-click by simply pressing on them
Each of the 4 buttons may be programmed to also have other functions. For example, I programmed "control/single-click" to produce a middle click. I could also have used "shift/single-click" or "alt/single-click" to produce the middle-click. Or I could have similarly programmed double-click or drag or right-click. The Kensington Expert Mouse is quite versatile ... once you get the hang of programming it.
I have had it for about 4 years and I had never had the need to program one of them until you told me about using a middle-click.

After the currently active tab is closed, can the previously acitve tab be automatically displayed?

After the currently active tab is closed, I don't want to see the tab on its right or on its left. I want to see the tab that was active before the closed one, whatever its position is on the tab strip.
Can that be achieved?

Hi jcatx2013, we don't really have enough information on your system to make specific suggestions...
Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

How can I get Firefox 4 to display the URL of active tabs in the location bar so I can see and copy it?

The only URL that I ever see in the location bar is the last one I typed there. No matter which tab I activate, the last typed URL is displayed. When I need to copy the URL of an active tab to paste into an email or something I can't see it.
The location bar used to display the URL of each active tab and you could simply click in the address field and the URL would be highlighted so you could edit/copy it or jump to the end of a very long URL to see the final file name.
I can't get this feature to work and I really need this feature as I need to copy URL's quite often. When I have multiple tabs active I sometimes forget which one is for which domain and need to see the URL. It is very annoying to surf blind.
Please help me with this issue as quickly as possible so I can once again do my work easily and with the firefox browser instead of chrome. :(

A couple of possible causes.
The first is the file that stores details of browsing history and bookmarks is corrupt. For details on how to fix that see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite
Another possible cause is an add-on interfering with the location bar. To test this, use the procedure in this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

I am having two problems with tabs in FF 4.0.1: no close "x"; and new tabs don't open adjacent to active tab.

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread. 
Please continue here: [/questions/819008]</blockquote> 
I don't know if it's a glith with mine, a change in the software, or a setting that isn't set, but my tabs don't have an "x" to close them.
Also, my previous version of Firefox opened a new tab adjacent to the active tab. Version 4.0.1 seems to have returned to the older standard of opening tabs at the end of the list. Is there a way to switch where new tabs open?

You can reset the tab prefs on the about:config page in case they have been changed.
* browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent
* browser.tabs.closeButtons
If you want a close X on the first tab if only one tab is open then set browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab to false.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
If you have tab related extensions then check their settings (Options).

Determine the active tab in a selection screen

Hello,
is it possible to determine which tab is currently activated in a selection screen with several tabs?
I will include different code in different tabs. When pressing the "execute" button the program should return the active tab (as a value).
Thanks
Florian Schwaiger

Hi florain,
Before you can use a tabstrip control in your ABAP program, you must create a control for each control in the declaration part of your program using the following statement:
CONTROLS <ctrl> TYPE TABSTRIP.
where <ctrl> is the name of the tabstrip area on a screen in the ABAP program. The control allows the ABAP program to work with the tabstrip control. The statement declares a structure with the name <ctrl> . The only component of this structure that you need in your program is called ACTIVETAB.
Use in the PBO event
Before the screen is displayed, you use the control to set the tab page that is currently active. To do this, assign the function code of the corresponding tab title to the component ACTIVETAB:
<ctrl>-ACTIVETAB = <fcode>.
When you page at the SAPgui, you only need to do this once before the screen is displayed. This initializes the tabstrip control. The default active tab page is the first page. After this, the page activated when the user chooses a tab title is set within SAPgui.
When you page on the application server, you must assign the active page both before the screen is displayed for the first time, and each time the user pages. At the same time, you must set the required subscreen screen.
You can suppress a tab page dynamically by setting the ACTIVE field of table SCREEN to 0 for the corresponding tab title.
Use in the PAI event
In the PAI event, ACTIVETAB contains the function code of the last active tab title on the screen.
When you page in the SAPgui, this allows you to find out the page that the user can currently see. When you page at the application server, the active tab page is controlled by the ABAP program anyway.
The OK_CODE field behaves differently according to the paging method:
Paging in the SAPgui
When you page in the SAPgui, the PAI event is not triggered when the user chooses a tab title, and the OK_CODE field is not filled. The OK_CODE field is only filled by user actions in the GUI status or when the user chooses a pushbutton either outside the tabstrip control or on one of the subscreens.
Paging on the application server
If you are paging at the application server, the PAI event is triggered when the user chooses a tab title, and the OK_CODE field is filled with the corresponding function code.
To page through the tabstrip control, you must assign the function code to the ACTIVETAB component of the control:
<ctrl>-ACTIVETAB = <ok_code>.
This statement overwrites the function code of the last active tab page with that of the new tab title. At the same time, you must ensure that the correct subscreen is inserted in the subscreen area.
Otherwise, tabstrip controls are handled like normal subscrens in ABAP programs, that is, the ABAP program of a subscreen screen must contain the dialog modules called from the flow logic of the subscreen.
Examples
Tabstrip control, paging at SAPgui
REPORT DEMO_DYNPRO_TABSTRIP_LOCAL.
CONTROLS MYTABSTRIP TYPE TABSTRIP.
DATA: OK_CODE TYPE SY-UCOMM,
 SAVE_OK TYPE SY-UCOMM.
MYTABSTRIP-ACTIVETAB = 'PUSH2'.
CALL SCREEN 100.
MODULE STATUS_0100 OUTPUT.
SET PF-STATUS 'SCREEN_100'.
ENDMODULE.
MODULE CANCEL INPUT.
LEAVE PROGRAM.
ENDMODULE.
MODULE USER_COMMAND INPUT.
SAVE_OK = OK_CODE.
CLEAR OK_CODE.
IF SAVE_OK = 'OK'.
 MESSAGE I888(SABAPDOCU) WITH 'MYTABSTRIP-ACTIVETAB ='

How to Make the label of the active tab-page BOLD?

Hi All
I am working on forms 10g(version 10.1.2.0.2 ) with Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 on windows 2000 platform.
My requirement is to make the label of the active tab-page either in italics or with a different color or make it BOLD than the other pages of the canvas.
Any suggestions ?
Regards
Mohan

there are no properties for those requirements on tab-pages. You can't do it.
Setting italic for all Tabpage-Labels is possible, when you change it in the canvas-properties. But you can't change only one tabpage.
One Solution is, what Jeneesh said: Active-Style. But only "Bold" and for the active tab.

Tab labels are grayed out except for active tab. This was not always the case. How to fix this?

I recently had the 29 upgrade forced on me. I did not like the new lay out. I was trying different things and I hit the restore defaults button. After I did this, any tabs that I had open that were not the active tab, the labels was grayed out. I want the labels to stay the same. How do I get this fixed?

Why do I have to install an extension to get back to the style I want to use? This is ridiculous.
