*.url document type not opening in new window

I've successfully crawled in website shortcuts as *.url document types. However, after displaying the IIS security message, they open in the main portal window instead of opening in a pop-up window like other documents.
Anyone have any ideas how I can get them to open in a new window?
Thanks in advanced,
Anne

If you are creating the links with html (not using URL items) then just include target="_blank" in your link like <a href="#" target="_blank">your link</a> to open a link in a new browser window. If you are adding links to the page using URL items, then check the option to show the link in a new browser window. Note: if you are using an HTML Content Layout template and have applied it to the item region where you are publishing your URL items, then you will need to include conditional statements in the template to check for that (e.g. open link in new browser window) and include the correct target for the link based on what was selected for that item.

URL Iview is not open a new Window in FireFox

Hi Guys,
After we upgrade our portal to NW 7.0 EHp2 SP6 , we can not open the URL Iviews in Firefox.
It looks like can't force the iview to open a new window and instead it open a new tab , Any suggestion?
Thanks,

Hi Mar,
To me, the PAM mentioned Firefox 3.5 is not recommended for NW 7.0 Ehp2 - Firefox 3.6 is supported for NW 7.0 Ehp2 starting with SPS6.
Anyway, if it works in IE & Safari, I don't think it has anything to do with the portal; it's something in Firefox settings. As mentioned before, did you check the option to open new links in new windows? Also, please checkSAP Note 1296463 and its related notes about browsers to see if there's something relevant to your case.

Why can I not open a new window but I can open new tabs in V3.6.16?

I am running Firefox 3.6.16 on both my PC and my laptop. The program works fine on my PC, I can open both new windows and new tabs. However, on my laptop I can not open a new window. Tabs open just fine, but when I try to open a new window nothing happens. Also, when I close the program after trying to open a new window the program is still running but I have no Firefox window to work in and therefore have to go through the Task Manager to end the program. And when I re-open it, I get asked if I want to restore the session or start a new session. Is there a way to

The wheel click button does not open a new window since the latest update (9.0.1)

Hi
I just want to report this bug in hope it will be fixed asap
The wheel click button does not open a new window since the latest update (9.0.1)
Thank you

Middle-click or click the scroll-wheel on a hyperlink has always opened a '''new Tab'''. Any chance you had an add-on that changed that action, and now that add-on is disabled or incompatible?

Command click in Yosemite does not open a new window

Command click in Yosemite does not open a new window. ??

Is the checkbox in this screenshot checked for your Finder preferences. If so uncheck it and try again.

Firefox will not open a new window for a website when it is supposed to and then will not close properly. I have un-installed and re-installed and problem persists, why? How is it solved?

When I go on to some websites and click on certain things it wants to open a new window to display the information etc.
I.E. On an agency job search site I click to do a detailed job search which should open in a new window, but this will not happen now on my Firefox.
Firefox was working perfectly ok on Saturday 11th September but for some unknown reason has acted up since Sunday.
There have been no Windows updates which could effect this and the laptop is otherwise working perfectly ok.
Nothing has changed from Saturday Night to Sunday Night that I can see.
I have even tried to do a system restore to solve the problem but with no success.

I also have this problem. I cannot open links from a discussion board I frequent nor can I open links from my email. Also after opening my email, I cannot go to any other sites except my home page. I can then go no where else.
When I close Firefox and try to reopen it, it does nothing! I have to bring up the Task Manager and end the Firefox process before I can get back in.
To the best of my knowledge, this problem started with the new update to Ver. 3.6.9. I am running Windows XP Media Center 2005

Under Windows 7, 64-bit, Firefox intermittently will not open a new window - all I get is a grey screen, with a tiny part of my homepage displayed in the top left corner of the screen.

The problem began after a recent Firefox update. Occasionally, when I try to open a new Firefox window, all I get is a grey screen with a tiny section of my homepage visible in the top left corner of the screen. NOTE: Firefox stores all of these aborted attempts, as, whenever I close it and then re-open it, the first time I open a new window it automatically opens all of the windows that had originally failed to open.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== on or about June 26, 2010

Got the exact same problem aswell, finally fed up with it now as i just started up firefox and 14 new windows opened because of this bug, luckily my computer can handle them but someone with a slower processor it would have been a nightmare, needs fixing ASAP.
Reverting back to 3.6.3 until this issue is solved. (link for anyone wanting to do the same below)

Firefox will not open a new window How do I fix it?

When on a web page, If I right click and choose "Open In A New Window", it will open a new window but the window is always blank. I can copy the address and paste in in the new window and it will then take me to the web site but will not automatically open and take me to the site. Is there a fix for this?

Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

WebDynpro ABAP iView not opening in new window

Hi,
   I have created an iView for a WebDynpro ABAP application and I am having a link in a home page from where the iView should open in a new page. I have set the properties "Launch in new Window" and "Show open in new window option" of the iView but still it doesn't open up in a new window.
    Can someone suggest me what's going wrong?
    Will reward points for helpful answer.
Regards
Mukesh

Hi Volker,
   Thanks for your reply.
   I think, I have set the properties of the iView right. I have tried with all the options for the property "Launch in new window" property of the iView but it didn't work.
   "By home page framework" I mean that the link of the iView in portal has been created using the "Home page framework" i.e. from "SPRO" transaction in the backend.
   Please let me know if you need any other input from me.
Regards
Mukesh

Create a hyperlink that does not open a new window if a window containing the url is already open?

Is there a way to create a hyperlink to a url that "jumps to" the URL's window if it is already open in the browser? Therefore a new window is not opened and the existing window containing the hyperlink would not change either.
If the target url is not already open, then yes the link could either open in a new window or in its existing window.
Does anyone know if there is a command/code for this?

Ok, so to be clear, I should add all of the following:
Header 1
function getCookie(c_name) {
if (document.cookie.length>0)   {
c_start=document.cookie.indexOf(c_name + "=");
if (c_start!=-1)     {
    c_start=c_start + c_name.length+1;
    c_end=document.cookie.indexOf(";",c_start);
    if (c_end==-1) c_end=document.cookie.length;
    return unescape(document.cookie.substring(c_start,c_end));
return "";
function wOpen () {
var cookiename = getCookie ('winFlag');
newWin = window.open("YOURPAGE.html","myWin'","height=200, width=200");
newWin.blur();
    document.cookie = "winFlag=1";
into 1 file? And that is the file that links to the music page?
I don't know if my Flash music page creates a cookie onto the user's browser. That would be necessary for this to work, right?

URL not opening in new window

Hi Gurus,
I am stucked in a problem related to Portal. I am developing a portal page under which many Links with URL's will be listed. I want all the URL's should be opened in a separate window.
I am unable to do so.
Appreciate any quick help on this,
Thank you
Raj

If you are creating the links with html (not using URL items) then just include target="_blank" in your link like <a href="#" target="_blank">your link</a> to open a link in a new browser window.

Task List URL (to FR Report) opens in new window, but not for all users!

Hi all,
I am not sure if this is the correct forum to ask the question (for me it looks like an IE topic), but perhaps anybody can help me anyway...
In one of our Planning apps (9.3.1) we defined several task lists and tasks that link to relevant FR Reports (URL Tasks). If I open the URL task in basic view the relevant FR Report opens in the same IE Window (in the main frame of the planning app). If my colleague opens the same task the FR Reports opens in a new IE Window.
My problem is that I dont have any ideas where I can set the relevant property. Is that a planning property, a workspace property or an IE property setting??? Where can I adjust the settings that for ALL users the URL opens the Report in the same window??????
Thanks in advance!!!!
Kind Regards
André
P.S.: We are on IE8.

Have you both got the same settings in Tools > Internet Options > Tabs Settings
There was also a bug though I can't say if it is related to your issue
9549216 - Instead of a new tab, a new window is displayed after you create a Financial Reporting task in Workspace.

Targer URL not opening in New Window

I have built a report with URLs. The report works well, but the Detail report is opening up in main window (overwriting master report containing URLs). I have checked the property 'Open Links in New Window' in Master report, but still the same. Does anyone have any ideas if iam missing anything here.
Thanks

Thanks for responding to my post. I have tried to implement as you said, but as you mentioned the solution worked only in HTML. (Master report HTML and Detail report PDF). But, i was looking for solution where the Master report is PDF and Detail is also PDF. If both are PDFs the detail report is overwriting master report output in same window.
Do you have an idea if this is possible in BIP.
Thank You.

Quick link does not open in new window

Hi all
I created an URL iView and assigned a quick link to it. The "launch in new New Window" property is set to
"display in separate window".
If i call the quick link url the iView is not shown in a separate window, but in the content area. Why?
If I click in the portal on that iView, it opens in a new window.
What am I missing here or is it a portal bug?
Thanks for your help.
Paul

Hi Paul,
I face the same problem, any findings so far?
Thanks!
Best regards,
Sandra
