(wanted) Pop ups open in a new tab

I'm having trouble with Safari (5.0.4), when I click on a link such as the choose a date link when booking a hotel/flight or using my banks website and the little pop up should appear that allows you to choose a date then disappears once you've done that, it always opens that pop up in a new tab, this is kinda annoying.
I have gone through my preferences a number of times and I can't see where I'm going wrong, I have Glims installed, is any one else experiencing this?
To be clear this is only for the pop ups that I actually want, things that I click on deliberately, this is not happening with random pop up ads etc. (I don't seem to get those)
It's not a major problem but I would like to get it fixed up does any one have any suggestions?

Any particular reasn why you have not updated your operating system and version of Safari to the latest versions?
Could you also be one or more Java updates behind?

How can I set that pop-ups open in a new tab insted of new page/window?

Dear Firefox Representative,
I'm a regular Firefox user. Since I updated to Firefox 4, all pop-ups open in a new window insted of a new tab. Altough I set in the settings that new pages should open in new tabs, all pop-ups show up in new resized windows with the new firefox.
Thanks for any help,
Tib

You can use JavaScript for this. For example:
app.launchURL("http://www.adobe.com", true);
More information is in the Acrobat JavaScript reference. Note that this method is new to Acrobat 7. You can still use Acrobat 5 to create the JavaScript, but it won't work for versions less than 7, or for most users of non-Adobe PDF viewers. If you go this route, you should add some code that checks the version of Acrobat (Reader), and only execute the above code if 7 or above.

How to stop the email in mozilla firefox opening in a new window( I want it to open in a new tab)

in the toolbar when I press the email button, my email opens in a new window, when I want my mail to open in a new tab. Please can you help????

I don't think Firefox has a built-in email button. Do you have an add-on that created that button, or do you mean a button pinned to the Windows Taskbar?
If it's an add-on, check whether it has an settings available for window vs. tab. If this doesn't appear with the button itself (for example, using a drop-down triangle next to the button) you can check the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then check the list for the relevant extension and try its Options... button.

When I open a new URL I want it to open in a new tab instead of replacing the last tab in line.

When I have several tabs open and I open a new URL the new URL replaces the last tab on my bar. I would just like for the new URL to open in a new tab.

Did you have the Google Toolbar installed?

Hi,
Try this:
Preferences > Tabs > Open links that open in a new window in: New Tab

I use google search.When I click on a suggestion in the search results tab, I want it to open in a new tab and keep the search results in the original tab.How?

For example, when I enter the search term "armoires" and get a search results page/tab with suggestions such as Sears, JCPenney, or Amazon, I want to be able to click on Sears and have the Sears page open in a new page/tab. I want to be able to close the Sears tab and be able to use the search results tab again.

I want mailto to open in a new tab or window

Windows XP, Gmail,
Suddenly, mailto links did not open (NOTHING happened when I click in a mailto link). I corrected that in about:config.
BUT now it opens in the SAME tab, on left click, whereas it used to open in a new window. I would like it to open in NEW tab/window. The tab seems to work better (if right click, there is an option to open in new tab), as my signature is then also loaded (Before the signature did not load in the new window.)

Attachments open in same tab - i want them to open in a new tab

I work in school recruiter (used for taking work applications for school system) and open a lot of attachments to applications. When I close the attachment, it closes me out of school recruiter. I need the attachments to open in a separate tab. Where do i go to set that?

You can open regular (i.e. non-javascript) links in a new tab with a middle-click or a Ctrl + left-click on that link.
The above mentioned setting in Options only applies to links that would open in a new window and allow to redirect the link to a new tab instead.

When a pop-up is opened in a new tab, do NOT switch to it immediately

Hi.
I have changed value of browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction from 2 to 0. Now pop-ups open in a new tab instead of new window, which is cool.
But still firefox immediately switches to the pop-up that gets opened in a new tab.
I want to have firefox in a way that, when a pop-up gets opened in a new tab, do NOT switch to it immediately.
Note: The option "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" in menu Options->Tabs, is already unchecked.

Try to set the browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page.

How can I force a popup to open in a new tab instead of opening a new window?

I want to keep any links that I click from opening a new window, ie. if I click on a link in an open tab that opens a new window, I want it to open in a new tab instead. I am on Firefox 5.0.

You can look at the browser.link.open_newwindow prefs on the about:config page.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction (0)
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow (3)
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

Visio document imported into a SharePoint VisioWebAccess webpart : open links in new tab or window

Hello.
I'm using a SharePoint Server 2010, with a Visio Web Access WebPart.
With Visio 2010, I created a vdw document which I put in this webpart.
This works very well, but i have some hyperlinks which I want to be opened in a new tab (or a new window), so that he SharePoint page won't be replaced by the target page.
So, in Visio, I tried to modify the ShapeSheet of each hyperlink, by setting the "NewWindow" to true. Unfortunately, it does not work : links are replacing the current page.
I found nothing on the web that could give me a trick to do this.
Has anyone an idea ?
Thanks a lot
_David

Hello _David C,
You can create some JavaScript code that will open the hyperlink in a new window. Here is a JavaScript sample that will open the first hyperlink applied to a shape in a new browser window. I have tested it in both IE and FireFox.
<script type="text/javascript">
// Declare the global variables for the script, for the Visio Web Access Web Part, the active page in the Web Part,
// the shapes on the active page, and the shape on the page without hyperlinks.
var vwaControl;
var vwaPage;
var vwaShapes;
var coldShape;
// Add a handler to the AJAX Sys.Application.load event.
Sys.Application.add_load(onApplicationLoad)
function onApplicationLoad()
try{
// Capture a reference to the current instance of the Visio Web Access Web Part.
// Add a handler to the 'diagramcomplete' event.
vwaControl= new Vwa.VwaControl(getVWAWebPartID());
vwaControl.addHandler("diagramcomplete", onDiagramComplete);
catch(err){
alert(err);
function getVWAWebPartID()
// Search all of the <div> tags on the page to find the div tag with the ID of the VWA Web Part.
var divArray = document.getElementsByTagName("div");
var webPartElementID;
for (var i = 0; i < divArray.length; i++) {
var node = divArray[i];
if (node.className == "VisioWebAccess")
webPartElementID = node.parentNode.parentNode.id;
break;
return webPartElementID;
function onDiagramComplete()
try{
// Set the vwaPage and vwaShapes variables to the active page and the shapes collection on that page, respectively.
vwaPage = vwaControl.getActivePage();
vwaShapes = vwaPage.getShapes();
// Set the 'cold shape' for the current active page in the drawing.
selectColdShape();
// Remove the handler from the shape selection changed event and then add it back to the event.
vwaControl.removeHandler("shapeselectionchanged", onShapeSelectionChanged);
vwaControl.addHandler("shapeselectionchanged", onShapeSelectionChanged);
catch(err)
alert(err);
onShapeSelectionChanged = function (source, args)
try{
// Get the array of hyperlinks from the selected shape.
var vwaShape = vwaShapes.getItemById(args);
var newURLArray = vwaShape.getHyperlinks();
var newURL;
// Check to see whether the shape has any hyperlinks.
if (newURLArray.length > 0)
newURL = newURLArray[0].value;
// Check to see if the hyperlink goes to another page in the drawing.
if (newURL.indexOf('vdw') < 0)
// Open the hyperlink in a new window.
var newWindow = window.open(newURL);
else
// Set the active page to the new page.
setNewPage(newURL);
catch(err)
alert(err);
function selectColdShape() {
try {
// Set variables with the names of shapes on the pages that do not contain hyperlinks.
// Customize the values for these variables to fit your web drawing.
var coldShapePg1 = "Sheet.6";
var coldShapePg2 = "Sheet.10";
// Check to see if the coldShape exists on this page.
if (vwaShapes.getItemByName(coldShapePg1)) {
// Set the active shape to the shape without hyperlinks on page 1.
coldShape = vwaShapes.getItemByName(coldShapePg1);
vwaPage.setSelectedShape(coldShape.getId());
else if (vwaShapes.getItemByName(coldShapePg2)) {
// Set the active shape to the shape without hyperlinks on page 2.
coldShape = vwaShapes.getItemByName(coldShapePg2);
vwaPage.setSelectedShape(coldShape.getId());
catch (err) {
alert(err);
function setNewPage(pageId) {
// Set the active page in the drawing to the page ID passed in as argument.
var indexOfAmp = pageId.indexOf("&");
var page = pageId.slice(6, indexOfAmp);
vwaControl.setActivePage(page);
</script>
Note that this code requires that each page have a "cold shape" that does not have any hyperlinks applied to it. In my test drawing, I added a hidden shape (in ShapeSheet, Width = 0, Height = 0) that did not have any hyperlinks. This is because the Vwa.shapeselectionchanged
event fires when you switch pages, which creates the possibility that the JavaScript code will open a new window when you change pages in the viewer.
If you are not familiar with the Visio Services JavaScript Object Model, I suggest that you check out the following resources:

How to get pages to open in a 'New Tab' instead of a 'New Page'

Hi there,
I know how to get the pages of my iWeb created site to open as a 'New Page' by using the Inspector. What I want to do however, is to get them to open as a 'New Tab' instead.
I want to do this because I have several pages that open as a 'New Page' and it litters the screen with Safari pages. So instead of a 'New Page', I want them to open as a 'New Tab' within the one Safari window.
This is what I want to happen:
1: user clicks on link
2: link opens a new Tab
3: Safari switches to the new Tab and makes it the active Tab.
Can someone please tell me how to get this to happen. Just ot be totally clear: I am aware that I can alter [MY] Safari settings to do this on my own Mac. But I want it to happen as default for everyone who visits my site and clicks on the corresponding links.
My site is published to MobileMe
Regards
Jason
Message was edited by: JayTelford. I added details that I neglected to include.

Window 7.
Safari.
Where is iWeb involved?
Right-click > open link in new tab.
Works with all webpages, not only iWeb ones.
And if it drives you crazy, you may want to seek professional help with medication.
Or learn to use your computer.
