Trouble closing a window

Hello,
I'm using Robohelp 6. I just copied a snippet of html from an
older help file that closes the help window. I pasted it into a new
help file, but it does not work. When you click the End button, it
appears to just hang, doing absolutely nothing. If this html works
in another help file, why won't it work in this one?
Thanks,
MB

Rick,
Thanks for your response. I'm gathering that how a window is
opened will impact how it closes. I open different topics using the
Insert>Form Element>Drop-down Menu functionality within
Robohelp. This contains the open clause which I'll attach...I don't
understand html enough to know if this is the code that makes a
difference or not.
Interestingly, there is one topic (Glossary) for which I open
a NEW window. When I click the End button (using the very same html
code attached earlier), the Glossary closes just fine. Does any of
this shed more light on the problem?
Thanks,
MB

Trouble closing Firefox, not having the problem with my 2 other browsers

''Duplicate post, continue here - [/questions/767760]''
For some time, I have trouble closing Firefox. When I try to close it a message appears: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." It used to be that opening one of my other browsers, Internet Expl. or Netscape Navigator, would do the trick but not anymore. Now, when this message appears it seems that the only way I can get Firefox to close is by stop and restart my computer. I have called my ISP but they believe the problem is with Firefox since none of my other browsers have this problem. I have also performed system restore and deleted and reloaded Firefox several times but each time, the problem reappears. Thank you for any advice you can give me.

The [[Firefox hangs]] article should help with this, in particular the section "Hang at exit".
Not related top your question, but you should reset your user agent string (identifies the version of Firefox). You appear to be using Firefox 3.6.12 but it is identifying itself as Firefox 2.0.0.20. For details of how to do this see [[Websites or add-ons incorrectly report incompatible browser]].

Backend BSP session not closing on server after closing the window

Hi All,
We have SAP EP (7.0 SP21) and there is a BSP transaction ivew (Interaction Center ) intergrated in the portal. The issue is when the user performs any transactions inside the BSP and then closes the browser, session remains on the server till the timeout. Is there a way to end those sessions on server after closing the browser immediately?
Portal domain : xx.mycomp.com
ABAP system domain :mycom.com
Should the domains be same for the DSM of Portal to work or is there any solution that can be considered.
regards
Uday

Hi Uday,
These are the main issues that can cause issues with DSM:
JavaScript Origin Policy:
Scripting
between different domains is not allowed because of “JavaScript origin policy”.
Also
communication between mixed protocols (http\https) is forbidden.
Therefore
the portal server and the content server must be on the same domain and must
use the same protocol.
For
detailed explanation see:
http://mozilla.org/projects/security/components/same-origin.html
Popup Blocker:
•Popup blockers may cause troubles
in relation with SRA feature.
•Terminator handles notifications in
new window when current window is being destroyed (logoff, closing browser
window) – popup blocker prevents the opening of new window, hence no session
handling performed.
please also check SAP Note #596698 for more information typical problems and troubleshooting.
In general, the 2 domains should be the same.
xxx.mycomp.com, meaning that first part of the url can change but what comes after should be the same domain.
Best regards,
Etay

Why does captivate hang when it is closed in window 8.1 professional ? How is it solved?

Why does captivate hang when it is closed in window 8.1 professional ? How is it solved?

Hi,
Do you see the issue every time you close captivate or is it only in some scenarios? Does it show any error messages? What captivate version are you using (64 bit or 32 bit)? Can you provide some more information or screenshots which can help us reproduce the issue.

Closed Captioning Window slow to open

We have a team member using CP7 on a Win7 machine having a delay when he opens the closed captioning window. It can take up to 10 seconds for the window to open.
We just put him on someone elses machine and it didn't do that even when logged in with his credentials. He says it has done that through all the versions of Captivate that he's used on the XP and Win7 platforms and on previous computers.
Does anyone have an idea of what might be causing this?
Thank you,
Susan

Here's the fix to which I was referring, supplied by a colleague on Linked-In:
"There are 2 instances of a codec that need to be turned into a .bak file.
First you go into C/program files/Adobe Media Encoder CS5/MediaIO/codecs to find a file "SurCodeWrapper.vca" Change it to "SurCodeWrapper.vca.bak" do the same thing in C/program files/AdobePremiereProCS5/MediaIO/codecs with the "SurCodeWrapper.vca file there too. This WILL fix the lag. I think you lose surround sound encoding by doing this, but this hasn't been a problem for me."

Firefox 4.0.1 closes with no error message. When I restore the session I get: Well, this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page. What can I do?

After opening certain websites, pogo, firefox 4.0.1 closes with no error message. When I restore the session I get: Well, this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.
I have had this problem before and had to reinstall an earlier version of firefox.
The error console has a long list of errors, many of them end with: does not implement nsIObserver. Is there a way to send the information on the error console to firefox support?
Redownloading Firefox 4.0 will fix my problem until I either close firefox or turn off my computer. The problem recurs when I open firefox again.

When closing Firefox windows, I would like a warning before the last window closes. The about:config settings do nothing. There is a warning for multiple tabs..

When closing Firefox windows, I would like a warning before the last window closes. The about:config settings do nothing. There is a warning for multiple tabs... why not for the last window? I do not use tabs... just windows... I have a mouse button programmed for that. It is really irritating to have to restart Firefox all the time and then open the history window because no warning was issued!

This is ridiculous. I've had this problems for years now and I'm finally walking away from Firefox. I use my keyboards more than my mouse, and how many times does your finger slip and hit Command Q instead of W. How come FF can't reset something as trivial as this? So many people are having problems with this?
Feels like FF has become too big, too slow and just not cooperative anymore. What a shame, I've been using Netscape/Firefox for 13 years. This is silly.

When I close and reopen firefox, it restores my tabs, but it restores tabs from hours or days ago, not the ones that were open when I closed the window - why?

I normally keep my Firefox window open for long periods of time because I have a lot of active tabs. When I close the window and reopen it, I am still able to restore tabs, but as of a few weeks ago, it has stopped restoring the most recent version. Normally, when I would close and reopen, the tabs would be the same ones that were open when I closed the window. Now, it restores to a version from a few days ago instead of the current version. I have to revert to pulling my more recent tabs out of the recent history. I checked my options and I can't figure out any way to control this. How can I fix it so that I can count on my Firefox window to restore the tabs that I actually care about?

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

How do I move a group of tabs before closing a window?

I recently lost all my custom settings on Firefox after an aggressive tech support person "cleaned" my browser settings. When this happened, I lost the ability to move my open tabs to a new group before closing the window they were in.
Previously, when I had multiple windows open, and I initiated an "Exit" or "Close" command on one of the open windows, 2 things happened:
(1) First I received a warning message asking me if I wanted to close the window
(2) Then I received a second warning message asking me if I wanted to move my tabs before closing the window.
Now, I only receive the 1st message, and I am no longer offered the option of moving my tabs to a new window before closing the current window.
I've tested this both with and without the Tabs Group Manager which I was using prior to the time my browser was "cleaned", and I still have not found a way to restore this missing feature.
Unfortunately, I don't know if this feature/option is:
-- provided as a default in Firefox
-- a customizable feature in Firefox, or
-- a feature in a Firefox add-on.
Can anyone tell me where/how to restore this option to move a group of tabs before closing a window?
Thanks,
Metta

Thank you, guigs2, for your feedback, and my apologies for the confusion. After rereading my question, I realize I made a couple of typos in my original help request which cannot now be corrected. Specifically, the 2nd sentence in the first paragraph should have read:
"I lost the ability to move GROUPS of open tabs to a new WINDOW before closing the window they were in."
This means that, as far as I can tell, neither of your plugin recommendations applies:
-- Apparently, Tab Mix Plus only applies to manipulating tabs WITHIN the existing window and, unless I am missing something, I did not see any reference to the option I'm looking for -- specifically, an automatic prompt offering to move groups of tabs to a new window before closing the existing window.
-- Unfortunately, the other plugin you mentioned (Tag Cloud) appears to be non-functional in the current version of Firefox, based on the most recent user reviews.
In light of this, I will consider the possibility of resubmitting my question with the typos corrected -- and, in the meantime, if there is any additional feedback that you (or anyone else) can offer, I would be most grateful!

Acrobat.exe closed by Windows & "invalid annotation object"

While I am editing comments with Acrobat 9.3.1, I get a Windows error "acrobat.exe ..... closed by Windows"
Then when I open the PDF document, I get "invalid annotation object" error, and the file is corrupted and not usable any more.
Please advise me what steps I need to take to this frequent errors on my computer. Thanks.

I too had a Multi Page PDF that had the same "invalid annotation object".
I was able to open & use the damaged using Tracker Software - PDF Viewer - PDFXCview (free software - Google it)
The file opened without error in PDFXCview and I was able to save it, but reopen in Acrobat still had the error.
I re-opened it in PDFXCview and deleated the comments on the page that Acrobat reported the "invalid annotation object", and was able to save the file, which now opens in Acrobat without the error.

If you were able to do it on the Mini you should be able to on an iMac, they use the same versions of OS X. You just have to recall how you set it up.

On closing Acrobat Windows detect an error "Data Execution Prevention has closed Adobe Acrobat".

Hi,
I developed a plugin which captures Before/After open, close and save events and perform some operation inside these events.
I tested the plugin in Windows XP and Acrobat 9.0.0 and 10.0.0 and everything works fine. But when in test my plugin on Windows Server 2008 Standard 32 bits, then windows detect an error while closing the acrobat and shows the following message:
"Data Execution Prevention has closed Adobe Acrobat"
I am using Acrobat 10.0.0 for testing in Windows Server 2008 operating system. Also, debugging the program shows no error but plugin does not produce the desired result when tested on Windows Server 2008 Standard 32 bits operating system.
Can anyone please giude me how to resolve this issue??
Thanks in advance!

Are you really using 10.0.0? You've installed no updates to it??

Problem in Closing Browser window from an Applet.

I have wriiten a small Applet progarm that calls a Javascript function in the opening window, to close the window in which it is loaded.The Applet window is a PopUp window from one of my application's window.
First time I start my application and load that Applet and then close the frame window,it works fine that the browser window will close, when the frame window is closed.It calls the window closing event in that applet stop method is called and In stop methd a closeLaunchedBrowser method will called this has a Javascript method and the Method closes the window using the self.close() method.
But now if I continue this process of launching applet and then closing frame window, initial 1 or 2 steps it has know problem when I continue this, after 3 or 4 steps, it result in browser hang/crash.
I am using java version 1.4.2_01 or higher and IE or Firefox(any other NetScape based) browser to load applet.It works fine with IE but getting problem in case of Firefox(any other NetScape based).
The error dialog information and related event log generated is shown below :
The dialog which is displayed before crashing of firefox has information :
"firefox.exe has generated errors and it will closed by windows.you will need to restart the program.
An error log is being created."
The error log information :
Source : Browser Event ID: 8032
"The browser service has failed to retrieve the backup list too many times on transport \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{611A64A2-8F4B-409E-9AB2-0D9BF741E791}. The backup browser is stopping.
The code related to this is given below.
import javax.swing.JApplet;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import netscape.javascript.JSObject;
public class TestApplet extends JApplet {
protected JSObject win = null;
private JFrame frame = null;
private boolean alreadyClosed = false;
public void init(){
this.win = JSObject.getWindow(this);
frame = new JFrame("Test Frame");
frame.setSize(300, 400);
frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
System.out.println("windowClosing");
TestApplet.this.stop();
frame.show();
public void stop() {
if (!alreadyClosed) {
alreadyClosed = true;
closeLaunchedBrowser();
System.gc();
System.runFinalization();
private void closeLaunchedBrowser() {
final TestApplet thisObject = this;
Runnable r = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
JSObject win = (JSObject)JSObject.getWindow(thisObject);
if (win != null && win.toString() != null) {
//win.eval("top.opener=self;self.close();");
//win.call("close", null);
win.eval("self.close();");
} catch (Exception e) {
Thread t = new Thread(r);
t.start();
}If any one know solution regarding how to aviod this crash of browser please let me know. I will be very thankful to you.
Thanks.

Right, I sort of tracked down some code that uses getMethods to allow me to invoke a Javascript command. It is not pretty and took a little bit of editing to get to work but it does the job without putting JS stuff into my HTML.
However it is causing some problems. If I open one of my other applets it will only let me close that window and the previous applets ceases to respond at all. I think this may be because the invoke gets the JSObject which is the window and somehow having more than one applet open in different windows is causing it to get confused and is locking the first window and only responding to the second.
I have seen a much simpler method that uses:
import netscape.javascript.*;
and JSObject to get the window but my compiler complains about the import. Any further suggestions or an example would be welcome as my current solution is a bit limited as you can effectively only have one window open at a time which doesn't suit my needs.
Many thanks.
Mark.
