URL in browser tab

RH9, RH9 Server, WebHelp Pro
When users open the WebHelp on the server, it displays a URL in the browser tab that looks like this:
http://Projectname-test/robohelp/server?%26ver%3D1%26area%3Dgeneral%26mgr%3Dagm%26agt%3Dws m%26wnd%3DProject%7CNewWindow%26tpc%3D%2Frobohelp%2Frobo%2Fserver%2Fgeneral%2Fprojects%2FP rojectname%2FWelcome.htm%3FRINoLog28301%3DT%26ctxid%3D%26Project%3DProject
Is there any way the network admins can munge that so that it looks pretty -- like say http://projectname/robohelp/server

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 the external URL in another tab of window browser

Hi,
I have create application to open the external URl into new window browser by using CREATE_EXTERNAL_WINDOW method. now how can i open this url into same window tab. is there any method that allow me to open this external URL into window tab.
Thanks,
Digamber.

The open external window API doesn't support specifying "in another tab". That is completely browser specific! Some browsers don't even have tabbed browsing.[ I don't even think that even javascript has this functionality!|http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-19843.html]
You'll not be able to do this. Sorry.
You might be able to change the browser configuration so that it defaults new windows into a new tab... But not through WD.
Cheers,

WebCenter Favicon in browser tab and URL

Hi all,
SR 3-5937292041
How do we place a WebCenter favicon to the browser tabs and in front of the Spaces URL?
In Spaces 11.1.1.6.0 it is empty by default even if there is an ORACLE logo shown in the banner.
There is one for bugdb, MOS, etc...
Any hints?
Thanks
Verena

Verena,
Just check the OHS error log.
It will contain errors getting the favicon image, like:
File does not exist: /oracle/fmw/Oracle_WT1/instances/instance1/config/OHS/ohs1/htdocs/favicon.ico
Simply add the icon in that folder and you're done.
Kind regards,
Rob

ERROR: browser.tabs.onTop not working now, my reason for using Firefox gone forever now?

In the latest FF, setting the browser.tabs.onTop has no effect. I believe this is completely wrong step in UI because thinking of the user's focus:
- The web page is the 'topmost' content having user's focus for the most of the time
- The next are the tabs which he/she recently opened
- Only then come the bookmarks
- And finally, only then comes the address line
Moving the tabs to the top means you force the user to move his attention/focus from the page contents skipping the lower priority areas (bookmarks, address line). This distracts the user and is simply bad news.
Being quite simple option, I see no reason why the browser.tabs.onTop functionality was removed. This effectively removes another important advantage of FF over Chrome/IE. I know Classic Theme Restorer (Customize Australis) add-on, but don't want to rely on such things.
Is THIS what the proclaimed customizability of Firefox is about these days? Sad.
After many years of FF use in our company, I'm sorry but I will reconsider FF usage in our company if these things don't get fixed soon.
Regards and thanks,
Vaclav

You can use either of the following add-ons.
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tabs-on-bottom/
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
If you don't want to install an add-on, put the following style in the ''userChrome.css'' file and restart Firefox. You can use [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/ the Stylish add-on] instead, if you have it installed.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css

Each setting you see in a computer program you use requires work; when a developer wants to build something new or improve something, he or she has to go through each related (hidden) setting and test if it still works like before and do that on each platform Firefox runs on. That's Apple's Mac OSX, various flavours of Linux and various flavours of Windows, including Windows XP. This costs time, lots of it, and that amount grows exponentially with each setting that's added. This comes on top of our work to continuously fix, improve and innovate Firefox. That's why we also removed the tabs.onTop preference. Awesome community members, who were unhappy about that change, created the Classic Theme Restorer add-on. They deserve our collective hugs.

WEB.show_document in Browser Tab Pages

Hi
This problem occurs in IE7 which makes use of tab pages on the web browser. I'm using forms 10g, web.show_document(v_url, '_BLANK') to pop up a browser window in IE to display a PDF file residing on the App Server.
The new browser window pops up in IE and displays the pdf document fine. The window title and address bar contain the correct url (a rather long one). The problem I have is that the browser tab page is labelled "Error" which immediately causes concerns amongst the users. I'm not sure if it does this because it does not know what to label the tab page or if the URL is perhaps too long.
Is there any way to rename / relabel the tab page or set the name or alias somewhere? I'll appreciate any advice on the issue...
Regards
Mario

Hi,
With web.show_document() you could call a html page that call your php page with POST().

Weblogic security: coping URL into other tab

Hi,
We have two Weblogic servers on two phisically different locations.
First of them, WLS A, have perfect security. When you login into any application that is deployed on it, and try:
- copy URL into another tab or browser window, you are getting returned at login page
- when you close browser (without logout), and try to start application from history, you are getting login page, again
So, URL that you have when you enter the application is absolutely useless. Closing the browser, or tab with application have practicaly same meaning as logout.
Second of them, WLS B, have not that security. When you login into any application that is deployed on it, and:
- copy URL into another tab or browser window, you are getting application without need to login! So that URL can be very dangerous, because it is possible to misuse it, if the user don't make logout
- closing browser without logout: it is possible to find out the URL in history and go back into application without login!
It is obvious that the problem is some setting on weblogic server. We tried to compare the settings on WLS A and WLS B but we have not found the setting that we have search for. The programmer that have found and set that property on WLS A working not more in our company.
Can anybody help, we will be very greatful!
Thanks,

Hi,
The authenticate method would take the user and the password details from the environment
(env) that is passed and after successful authentication would populate the subject with
the principals (i.e user, group the user belongs to ..)
It should work with any user that is defined in the WLS not just weblogic/weblogic.
Do you have any other users defined and which group do they belong to?

the UsernamePasswordLoginModule.login calls into

Environment env = new Environment();
env.setProviderUrl(url);
env.setSecurityPrincipal(username);
env.setSecurityCredentials(password);
try {
Authenticate.authenticate(env, subject);
Seems like UsernamePasswordLoginModule only is a router, as it instantiates an
instance of Environemt using the userid and password and passes this Environemtn
instance (env) to Authenticate.authenticate along with the empty Subject instance.
I read about that the Subject instance will be filled in with Principals by the
WL Server.
My question is that firstly,
1. As Authenticate.authenticate is not passed in the uid and pw, will it pick
those from the env?
2. Secondly, why does it only accept uid=weblogic & pw=weblogic.
I will appreciate if some one can put me in the right direction.

IWeb - creating thumbnail - for browser tab / bookmarks menu

Is it possible to create a thumbnail that will appear in a browser tab,
(like when you save a site to your bookmarks bar and it has a thumbnail - ie, facebook or youtube.) Can I do this in IWeb for my website, or do I consult Go Daddy (my website host) to find out about inserting a thumbnail, for when my site gets saved to a bookmarks bar or menu?
Currently, when I save my site address to my bookmarks bar in ie, I get the explorer thumbnail, with my site name. I would like to add my own thumbnail.
Thanks for any help.

Same session in diffrent browser tab problem

Hello;
I am having a problem (might be browsers claim it a feature) that my application shares the same session if I use to access it from different tabs of a browser.
I have googled but could not find out any work around for it.
I want to restrict the user if he wants to access my application from another tab. Server identifies the user by session cookie generated by browser itself which kept same in all tabs. So is there any programmatic way that I be able to handle this situation. I want to catch the user at Filter level and redirect to a message page.
Your comments...

Then in this case every time session id will be unique and I have no problem with this case.
My issue is to implement such logic from where I can generate seprate session id from every tab/or landing user to a message page. <session id same in all tabs of a browser window>
As I disussed above there is a solution in ASP.net aka sessionless cookies [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa479314.aspx#cookieless_topic2|http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa479314.aspx#cookieless_topic2]
You mean cookieless sessions. Cookieless sessions are not what you are asking. You can do the same here by setting the <Context> elements cookie attribute to false, and making sure you pass all URLs through response.encodeURL(String).
This doesn't help your cause, though, because if a user presses a link on your page with the CTRL key down, a new tab opens with the same session tracking info. Or if the user copies the URL in one tab and pastes it into another tab you get the same session in multiple tabs.
>
Now the question is, How can I achieve sessionless cookies in java? And the approach will work same as ASP.net works.The approach that you point to does not address the issue at all. In fact it makes it easier to use the same session in multiple windows, not just multiple tabs.

Browser tab title for the site goes away.

I have modified my master page to show the Title for the Site Home page in the Intranet Portal. The tag in the master page reads this:
<title id="Title1" runat="server"><asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderPageTitle" runat="server">ABC</asp:ContentPlaceHolder> </title>
When I browse the site in IE, the title "ABC" shows up in the browser tab but goes away after some time. In chrome, it gets replaced by the URL of the Site page:
http://site/pages/default.aspx. It only happens when i'm on the Site Home page. When i'm on a different page or within sub-site, it retains the Name of that page. How can I resolve this so that Title stays as long
as I'm on the site home page.
Regards, Kapil ***Please mark answer as Helpful or Answered after consideration***

Hi K-Joshi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to customize the browser title for a site in SharePoint 2010.
Please change the Title tag in your master page as the followings:
<title id="Title1" runat="server">
<SharePoint:EncodedLiteral runat="server" text="ABC " EncodeMethod='HtmlEncode' />
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderPageTitle" runat="server"/>
</title>
More information, please refer to the link:

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

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.

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.

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.
