Tomcat / opening a modal window from jaavscript
Hi all,
Don't know if it's the best place for this question but let me try.
I have different servlets and when I try to open modal windows from an hyper link on pages produced by my servlets and processed by tomcat (port:8080), the status bar and address bar are always visible on the modal window.
But if the same opening is sent from a simple html page processed by apache(port80), the status bar and address bar aren't visible.
here is the javascript code :
this.showModalDialog(url,"","resizable:yes;scrollbars=no;location:no;navigation=no;titlebar=no;status:no;");
about the address bar. lokks like a combo but without any possibilities to enter anything in. Just like a spec of the url called.
Is there any solution to hide this bar and the status bar ?
Serve your Tomcat pages via Apache. There are various ways to do this.

Opening a Modal window from another Modal window
Hi All,
I am opening a Modal window from a Modal window which has applets in it. But when the child modal window opens up from parent modal window, the applets on the child modal window are not loading properly. But when I change the child modal window to normal window, then applets loads fine.
I just want to know how different is a modal window when compared to normal window when it comes to applets.
This is the problem which showed up only on specific machine but not on all the machines.
Is this because of some specific settings or could be any other reason?
Any help Pls!!!
Regards,
Rajesh.Christian,
This problem is occuring on 2 machines which has Java 1.5. But rest of the machines which has 1.5,1.6,1.4 are supporting modal windows. So not really sure whether its a browser issue or JRE issue or it is how the modal windows behave in an inconsistent way. Really need a solution for this problem as early as problem.
Regards,
Rajesh. -
How do you open a modal window from an Edge Animate button?
I am trying to create an animated group of buttons that open a Bootstrap 3 modal window when clicked. The animation (OAM file) is placed on the Bootstrap page.
This code is added to Animate "CREATION COMPLETE" for button creation and button click:
// Button 1
var btn1 = sym.createChildSymbol("HomeButton", "menu");
// Convert/store a reference to the symbol as a string representing the element name of the symbol instance.
var btn1_e = btn1.getSymbolElementNode();
// Now can use that element string and convert it to a DOM element to use with jQuery to call its css properties
// and adjust whatever you'd like, including its position property
sym.$(btn1_e).css({"position":"relative", "margin":"10"});
btn1.getVariable("setLabel")("Print Work");
btn1.getVariable("setDescription")("Examples of Telex advertisement");
btn1.$("MyImageBox").css("background" , "url(images/telexads_full269x151.jpg) no-repeat");
btn1.getSymbolElement().click(function() {
console.log("button 1 was clicked");
document.getElementById("myModal");
$('#myModal').modal('show');
The div for the modal is on the main HTML page. I want to have the modal open a larger image of the button. Basically a lightbox for the Edge Animate stage, but it has to access the div on the parent HTML document (not the EdgeAnimate.html).
Here is the error from the Chrome Javascript console:
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'modal' portfolioButtonStage_edgeActions.js:4
(anonymous function)portfolioButtonStage_edgeActions.js:4

I've tried Edge Commons Spotlight, but that doesn't open on the page correctly; it puts the image at the bottom of the main page.

Is there a way to open a new window from the "Go" menu in Mavericks?
Before Mavericks, I was able to go from the Finder to the top menu "Go" -> "Utilities", or Applications or Home… and a new window would open.
Now I have to manually open a new window to avoid loosing my existing window.

Is there a way to open a new window from the "Go" menu?
First, as others have already stated.....make sure the checkbox is deselected for "open folders in tabs instead of windows" in Finder Preferences.
If you're like me and don't like tabs very much, there is a way to make folders always open in windows with a simple click (I'm using Mavericks 10.9.5). Go to a root folder (for example, the Documents Folder), open it, and select View > Hide Toolbar, then all folders within that root folder will open in a new window.
As an alternative method, any folder can be opened in a new window by holding down either Command Key while clicking the folder. But sooner or later you will forget to hold down that key, and then clicking on a folder will open in a tab (which will automatically resize the window and cause much aggravation).
The Hide Toolbar trick will also work with any folder present on the Desktop. It will make all folders inside that folder open in new windows.
To make the Applications Folder open in a new window when opening it from the menu bar at the top of the screen, you will have to open the main hard drive folder and use the Hide Toolbar trick. This will cause all folders inside it to open in new windows.
Hope this helps. -

Safari won't open to 'all windows from last session'
Safari is set to open to 'all windows from last session' - but it opens to a blank page. Not every time, but 75%+. I usually have multiple tabs open, not always the same ones, and this is slow, annoying and tedious to frequently reconstruct where I left it.
Any ideas?
I just moved to a MacBook from Windows and I am surprised to have an issue like this crop up so quickly (or well ever - based on Apple's reputation, that is - and all the glowing things my firends and associates have told me)Open a Finder window. From the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy / paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
BTW, if you enable the Develop menu you can empty the Safari cache easily instead of having to go through your user library.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Then from the Safari menu bar top of your screen, click Develop > Empty Caches -
Open a second window from the first one
Hi,
The problem of my application is loosing control when I open the second window, so I know that the problem is the run of the sub VI but I don't find an other possibility to open a second window from the first one knowing that the first sends its vales to the second one. In an other way I want to open two windows simutaneously.
NB: I attached a simple verssion of my application.
Can someone help me please.

"open in new window"- from favorites panel - bridge
Hi Bridge, I love your way of working
However 2 things make my hair rise
- I can't "open in new window" from a favorited location. only in the "content" panel... which is rather "weird"
- I have to "reveal in finder" to be able to zip/rar files.
Please fix this, I know i am not the only one who would love this.- I can't "open in new window" from a favorited location. only in the "content" panel... which is rather "weird"
To be honest, I never thought about that option, I always use the shortcut cmd + N for a new window and point to a folder in either folder panel or favorites panel. There is always something to learn
Having the same option in Favorites as in Folder panel would be very logical indeed!
- I have to "reveal in finder" to be able to zip/rar files.
I think you are bound to do so always because Bridge is in fact a browser and in itself not capable of editing files. The export panel did some tasks with resizing but has been discontinued in CC.
Only if Adobe made an application to unzip or open other packages the possibility for using the tools menu and reach the start up script for such app would be the shortest road possible to my knowledge. But also AFAIK Adobe does not offer such application.
And using MacOsX 10.8.4 my downloaded zip files are unzipping themselves automatically...
Please fix this, I know i am not the only one who would love this.

Can/Could/Why-Can't-We Open a Terminal Window from Finder...
I do a lot of development needing a terminal window but also need to bounce about a lot between file system areas (my machine, our NFS drives in our fleet, etc.).
It'd be nice if we could open a terminal window from Finder. I.e., If I'm in Finder and see that I need to work in the terminal window (be it with IDL*, NCL, gcc, etc) I can do a quick GUI click or keykick or whatever, and be happily dropped into a terminal window in that directory. The alternative for me now is to open Terminal from my doc and dig through the file system to my destination.
Can I do that in Finder? I seem to remember in a past life with (ahem) an certain other "operating system" that just released their "apology" edition, that you could do this from their File Exploder. If not, gee, wouldn't that be nice to add, kids?
BillThanks for the help on this!
The Matt's macoshints solution (the first comment by Greg Spence, below) was simple enough and met my requirements very nicely, thanks much. (the script is below)
tell application "Finder"
set myWin to window 1
set theWin to (quoted form of POSIX path of (target of myWin as alias))
tell application "Terminal"
activate
tell window 1
do script "cd " & theWin & ";ls -al | more"
end tell
end tell
end tell
It worked on the local mac, my unix nsf drives, and the samba drives to which I am connected.
I also tried the cd-to script but as I use tcsh it was not working for me. Other potential users have apparently cited the problem as well (nice simple icon graphic for the finderbar though). -

Open Skillbuilders modal page from report
I want to open the Skillbuilders modal page from within a report. The first column in a report represents the primary key of the table the report shows. What is the best way to do that?
The idea is this: in the report region, there's a button CREATE that opens the modal dialog by Skillbuilders. A user can enter some data, clicks submit, modal dialog closes and report is refreshed. That's working now. Now I want to add a link to the first column in the report, that also opens the modal dialog, passing the value of the primary key of the row the user clicks on.
I'm not that experienced with Javascript, I guess I'll have to create an dynamic action with a jquery selector, and as a true action, a javascript call to open the dialog. Can someone give me a start?
Thanks in advance!You actually do not need that much javascript in this case. Simply design your column as you would normally do to create a link column.
<ul>
<li>Column Link: Provide a link text</li>
<li>Link Attributes: onclick="return false;" class="show_modal"</li>
<li>Set the target page and provide any items you want filled.</li>
</ul>
onclick="return false;" is to prevent the default behaviour of the anchor tag: navigate to the location specified in the href attribute. We want to open the modal page instead.
Now to have the modal dialog open, create a dynamic action.
<ul>
<li>Event: Click</li>
<li>Selection Type: jQuery Selector</li>
<li>jQuery Selector: .show_modal</li>
<li>Advanced > Event Scope: live (so the links will work after pagination)</li>
</ul>
For the true action, select the SkillBuilders Modal Page plugin, and make sure these are specified as following. This will take the location in the generated link columns and open a modal page for this location.
So, this would open your edit page with the correct id (which you set up in the column link).
</ul>
<li>URL Location: Attribute of Triggering Element</li>
<li>Attribute Name: href</li>
</ul>
If you set it up like this, you have the convenience of the standard column link definitions, no need for any javascript save onclick=false and no need to fill up page items and deal with submission to session state. -
Opening a browser window from a CHM (Win7)
Hi All,
I'm having a problem where a script we've had for years to open a special window (sized, no browser buttons, etc) for certain content is no longer working correctly in Windows 7.
Here is the script:
function OpenWindowSize(strUrl, u_width, u_height) {
var w_width = ",width=" + u_width;
var w_height = ",height=" + u_height;
var strOptions = "scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes"
strOptions += w_width;
strOptions += w_height;
strOptions += ";";
var newWin = window.open(strUrl, "newWin", strOptions);
// newWin.document.close();
newWin.focus();
WinXP & Vista: a link within a CHM correctly opens a new window with only scroll bars, and resizable, with the specified dimensions (e.g. u_width=500, u_height=700)
Win7: a link opens in a regular browser window with full menus, etc and not sized to the specified dimensions. An error also displays in the CHM file.
CHM error message (snippet): 'newWin' is null or not an object.
A developer managed to get the CHM error to go away by adding if (newWin != null) above the focus() line.
He also managed to prove that the problem only exists within CHMs. When the same javascript is used in plain HTML, the window is called correctly, as per the WinXP & Vista example above.
Does anyone know how to get my script working in Win7 so that it is sized correctly and doesn't have the menus/buttons?
Thanks,
AmberHey All,
I just got a message from PatricioV2, for this...I totally forgot to come back to the forum...I was so busy trying to work out the solution that now, I forget the specifics, but I did find out that there is NO WAY to customize a pop-up window from a CHM with IE 9 or 10 installed...any pop-up will have ALL the browser timings. And since I didn't want that effect, I abandoned that idea and pursued a different solution.
However, I was able to use jQuery Colorbox...which really surprised me. But even with this, you cannot use "linked" images from the stylesheet so the controls don't show...so, you need to "style" the elements with color values (i.e. background, borders, etc.).
Also, and very important, if your content is in an IFRAME in the CHM (which mine was), you MUST use a jQuery technique to get your colorbox to work on the PARENT window...otherwise, the colorbox effect will happen ALL INSIDE THE IFRAME...
