Window Configuration on Desktop and temp disable New Window

Hi All.
I seem to find myself constantly needing to arrange three or four windows in list mode so that I can move things from my Desktop, Laptop, Time Capsule and iDisk. Sort of a major sort mode if you will.
I always find myself arranging three or four sets of Finder Windows on the Desktop, snuggling them up against each other - all while trying to avoid too major an overlap or some kind of overlap configuration that lets me jump and jive from one window to another all while dragging and dropping files and folders.
Is there a better way to do this?
Is there a way to save this configuration?
Is there a way to use the laptop screen as a kind of second display where if I roll off the left hand side of my desktop window I end up in the Finder on my laptop (a stretch I know)?
Also(!) is there a way to temporarily prevent the Open Folder in New Finder Window action that I have set? Right now if I have the windows organized the way I need them - but I need to just open a subfolder on the ,say the Laptop Finder Window, I always end up with /another/ Finder window which I then have to figure out what to do with...
Can I automagically dock these things somehow?
Anyway, I have the added complication of not understanding Expose or Spaces yet as I have tried to stay away from them for fear that their buttons interfere with my MacBookPro buttons or the buttons I use when running WIndows in BootCamp (I know my understanding is totally butchered here but I figure to try to clear this up soon).
Thanks for anything wonderfully helpful on this.
- Jon

You might try a third-party utility such as Witch to create window sets that can be configured and restored. Look for it and others at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Firefox closes existing window when you open and close a new window

When I'm using firefox and need to open a new window (or a website opens a new window) and I'm done with that new window and close it, Firefox attempts to also close the previous window that I am using. I've tried reinstalling, but other than that I don't know what to do. What usually happens when I close the window is that I have multiple tabs open in the other one and it asks me if I would like to close all my tabs. When I hit cancel, it asks me again. Once I hit cancel the second time it stops bothering me.

I thought it was doing that also. But I found that if I start a new chat with someone I was messaging before, then the old messages re-appear in the messages window.

It is necessary for me to have more than one window open in Firefox, and the command (New Window) no longer works. How do I have two different websites open at the same time on separate displays?

I used to be able to open two Firefox windows at a time, with one website on one display and another website on another display. Now when I select New Window, nothing happens.

You can tear off a tab (right-click: Move to New Window) to open it in another window and resize both windows so you see them at the same time.

HTML-DB OAE Javascript to close current window and open a new window

Hi everybody,
We work with 1.6.
What we want is to close the current window and open a new window with the URL mentionned in the window.open('http://www.cf.qc/pls/portal/PORTAL.....,'newwindow').
The new window opening fires only once although we call it many times.
Our javascript is:
function closeTest()
{ alert('closeTest');
if('&REQUEST.'=='QUITTER2'){
w = window.self;
w.opener = w;
w.close();
window.open('http://www.cf.qc/pls/portal/PORTAL.home','newwindow','toolbar=yes,location=yes,directories=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes');
We call it on our application attributes :
OnLoad="closeTest()"
Thanks. Bye.

Try this on for size:
I have included two functions.
windowRebuild() - opens a new window, maximizes it based on the screen size, removes all toolbars, and then closes the old window.
myLocation(appName, pageName) - builds a url referencing an HTMLDB application, specfic to what server you are currently on. Very useful when you have an application on 3 different servers(dev, test, prod servers), you wouldn't want the server name hardcoded if you plan to export the app to another server.
Also, you need to be careful when using &APP_ID. I am not completely certain how that is resolved at runtime, but I've found it only works when the javascript is in the HTML Header of a page and not stored in the template of the page.
<script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
This functions is for internal application use.
Examples of myLocation:
url = myLocation('&APP_ID.', 'APP_PUBLIC_PAGE');
url = myLocation('MY_APP_ALIAS', 'MY_PAGE_ALIAS');
url = myLocation('184', '10');
function myLocation(myApp, myPage){
var myHost = location.host;
var newURL;
newURL = 'http://'+myHost+'/pls/htmldb/f?p='+myApp.toString()+':'+myPage.toString();
return newURL;
/* Function windowRebuild()
*   This function will open a new window and close the old window.
*   This function will also maximize the new window and remove all toolbars.
function windowRebuild(){
   if(window.name != 'myAppWin'){
    var url = myLocation('&APP_ID.', 'PAGE_ALIAS');
    var myWin = window.open(url,'myAppWin','toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,menubar=0,status=1,resizable=1,location=0');
    window.opener = 'x';
    window.close();
   if(window.name == 'myAppWin'){
    window.moveTo(0,0);
    window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
</script>Let me know if that works or you need some more explanation.

uninstall pse 10 (properly using the adobe uninstaller).
clean - Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
then try reinstalling using the adobe installation file(s).

SRW.SET_HYPERLINK - Handle SPACE in filename AND open in NEW WINDOW

Report 10g (10.1.2.3.0 - 32bit on Windows 7 64bit)
Issue #1:
using srw.set_hyperlink to get a handle on *.pdf file on remote server. Report is launched as PDF. PDF that is opened via the URL launches in same window as report. I need run report as PDF, click hyperlink to get handle on another file which should launch in New Window.
SRW.SET_HYPERLINKATTR only useful with HTML and HTMLCSS. Javascript? If so, sample code?
Issue #2:
possible that file retrieved will have spaces in its name. Hyperlink defaults %20 in the spaces of the name, but the link does not successfully retrieve file. Tried replacing spaces w/ %20, but like defaults does not retrieve document; due to actual file name not having the %20 in its actual name. Is there are way to account for the spaces in the URL then "remove" them to find the correct file and open in new window?
Tried using virtual path as well as physical path.
Help with either or both issues is truly appreciated,
Thanks!!

Hello,
When you set the property "Hyperlink", the property "Additionnal Hyperlink Attributes (HTML)" is displayed. Set this property to :
target="_blank"

Mac user OS 10.6.8 Firefox 6.0.2. Click the Firefox icon in dock, program does not open new window. Type cmd+N to open new window, cmd+T to open new tab or cmd+L to enter URL, nothing happens. What causes this, and what can be done?

It's strange. The problem apparently resolved itself after I ran TechTool on it. When I clicked on Firefox last night, I had no problem opening a window. Thanks for your help. (As to your previous post, the focus was on Firefox and neither the speed keys nor the menu bar would open a window or tab of allow me to enter a URL to open a window. Strange!)

Open and style a new window

Hello,
Following this thread Re: Apply CSS to help window I'm trying to open and style a new window, using JavaScript. I'm using the following script:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function newwin(targetURL) {
var swin = window.open(targetURL,null);
swin.focus();
swin.document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].dir = "rtl";
</script>In a pure HTML environment, it works just fine. In ApEx I'm receiving an error message http://i2.tinypic.com/vfl7qc.png, which relate to the first window. For some reason, the reference to the new window (swin) does not work properly.
An example page can be seen at http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=22814:30
Can anyone please help me understand where the problem is?
Thanks,
Arie.

I've just tried your supplied code in Firefox and Internet Explorer in an Apex environment and they both worked fine.
FYI I tested with the following links on my host page:
< A href=javascript:newwin('http://www.leeds.ac.uk');>Click here!< /a >
< A href=javascript:newwin('f?p=103:1:&SESSION.');>Click here!< /a >
And the Javascript code in the header section of the same page.
A few questions:
- Which browser are you using?
- What will be in your popup? Another Apex page or something else?
- If an APEX page, what does the URL look like? Different to mine above?
- Is the popup Apex page a 'normal' page - or have you customised the template significantly?
I would guess that your error message is referring to the fact that getElementsByTagName is returning null - rather than the reference to the window. Thus, I'd check for the existance of a body tag and a generally well formed destination page. Test with leeds.ac.uk as I used above to confirm.
Hope this helps
Ben

AF Table-CommandLink and Open in New Window issue

I am using af:table to display the result set and inside the af:table i use af:commandLink to display the link to users. When the user clicks the individual link , user will go to the correponding detail page which is working fine.
But the problem is if i right click the commandLink from the browser and click "Open in New Window" in IE or "Open Link in New Window" . it opens a new window and displays the same page instead the detail page.
My requirement is when user click the link user should see the corresponding detail page - which is working fine now.
But when user clicks open in new window from browser in the new window user should see the corresponding detail page. How do i accomplilsh this scenario.
Any help would be highly apprciateable..

Hi Frank, thanks for the quick reply. But if u think of the end user, most of user always right click and click open in new browser to see the details. so that they can stay the results page. ..
Do you mean, any link navigation in ADF faces, dont work if we click "open in new window"?

Firefox freezes and beeps once new window opened

Recent new problem whenever i open up a new window, the browser will freeze and each time i click it'll beep at me. The only solution is to press alt+f4.
So i upgraded to firefox 4, updated all my plugin's and the same thing is happening.
Open in new tab is fine, but when i right click a link and open in new window or click the icon in my start menu it'll do the same each time.
Any help please..

Yeah as i mentioned, that's the only way i can resume normal browsing. But it happen's everytime i open a new window.
Do mod's or any tech folk from firefox actually reply to any of these thread's?
Enough folk seem to have the same problem!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
