How to get a warning massage if i accidently click the close button of the chrome browser which have multiple tabs opened at that time?
I am a regular user of Crome and having this problem while using it. I normally open multiple tabs inside a single browser but sometimes i accidently click the close button of browser and as soon as the button is clicked crome does't give any warning issue about multiple active tabs and close the entire window.
Is the end user like me is browsing on normal crome window then he can open the websites again by checking the web history but if he is browsing inside private browser then he can't do anything(this happens with me very regularly because i normally browse in private browser). On the other hand if you accidently click the close button in mozilla which have multiple tabs open it throws a warning massage to the user and asks for his wish.
Go find an extension called "Keep One Pinned Tab". It may not be exactly the function you need, but if you search for other extensions, I am sure there is such an extension that does just that. If you can't find one, I suggest to learn how to develop extensions and make one yourself, you can share it with others when it's done.

I have a site that offers users the chance to download files by clicking a button which loads a rest request then uses file-saver to download it.
The second time a user in Chrome clicks this they get a popup blocker. The message is "This site attempted to download multiple files automatically". How does Chrome determine when to show this message? Can I do something to reset it?
The site is loaded as an iframe within microsoft teams. But I don't think that is the issue
Fire up Chrome, click the menu icon, and then click “Settings.” Alternatively, you can type chrome://settings/
Once in the Settings tab, scroll down to the bottom and click “Advanced.”
Scroll down to the Privacy and Security section and click on “Site Settings.”
Scroll down the list of settings until you see the “Automatic Downloads” option. Click on it.
By default, the feature is set to ask permission when a site tries to download files in succession. This is the recommended behavior, but if you want to block all sites from downloading multiple files automatically, toggle the switch to the Off position.
My web application is mimicing the UI of my desktop application, flow is as follows
Select Task in browser window
Change any Options and then start
Show Progress in same browser window, the progress bar goess back to server every 5 seconds checking progress.
When task has completed we show report in new tab
and go back to Select task Window,
this is done by running following Javascript in progress page
window.open('/start','_self'); window.open('/reporturl','_blank');
This works fine on my PC but when trying on Safari on OSX and on Android phone and iPad one of two things happen
The progress page becomes the start page but the report page is not opened in tab
The Progress page becomes the report page
My question is does opening window in new tab with _blank have all the problems of using popup windows. If so should I modify my prcoess so that at stage 3 it just displays report page, and then add a back button or navigable footer to the report to allow user to get back to start page ?
I can think of some options you could use instead of new tab.
Modal with Ajax
-- With jQuery it is posible to open modal
dialogs they can be populated with html (or other data) fetched with ajax (async). I am a big fan of these and use them all over my projects. Users will not be annoyed with pop-up warning messages, etc. Once the content is read (or whatever) the user can simply close the dialog. (If I had to make your app I would certainly implement this).
Besides the jQuery dialogs, other modal/dialog scripts are out there. Check out Bootstrap Modal if you like it modern.
Serve report as download
-- Depending on what the user can/will do with the report, it might be interesting to write the report page in a way that it sends back a .pdf file, or another type of file, as download. Loading the URL in a new tab will now always start a download. Triggering this from JS without user interaction might be a problem though (same as with pop-up / new tab). Adding a button to trigger the download on complete will solve this.
I know the question was about the use of tabs.. But try to avoid it. Browsers handle it all in their own way. And many users get confused when suddenly stuff is opening in tabs when they did not ask for it. In case of pop-ups, it is possible for users to turn them of or convert into opening a new tab from within the browser settings. If they have been fiddling with browser defaults, you'll have troubles of keeping the 'flow' of the app the same for all users (and cross browser).
I have a html page with several links to files with various file types, such as pdf, csv, and zip. Depending on the available browser plugins, some of these files can be opened inline by the browser, whereas others will be downloaded.
I don't want such links to open in the current tab, so each one has the attribute target="blank".
This works fine in most browsers:
When the user clicks on a link to a file that can be displayed inline, the file is shown in a new tab.
Otherwise, a new tab is opened and immediately closed as soon as the file starts to download. The user stays in the current window.
In Microsoft Edge, however, the second case does not work: the new tab remains open. This is annoying, because the user is now looking at a useless empty tab.
Is there any way to prevent this from happening?
I don't think there is anything you can prevent Edge's this behaviour. What you can do is to change the HTML tag.
Use download attribute in <a> element without target attribute. This way, the browser will prompt save dialog instead of opening a new tab.
<a href="myfile" download>Download</a>
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_a_download.asp
In this case, the browser will not display the file inline.
If you still want your clients be able to see the files inline you can detect the client's browser; if it is Edge then use the download attribute, if not use target attribute. In addition, you can use something like navigator.mimetypes to detect which file types can be displayed inline (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/NavigatorPlugins/mimeTypes).
Here is the detect function which I took from another post (How can I detect Internet Explorer (IE) and Microsoft Edge using JavaScript?)
function isEDGE(){
return /Edge\/\d./i.test(navigator.userAgent)
}
Leave your <a> tags with no target and download attributes. Use detect function and decide on the right attribute.
Like this:
$(document).ready(function(){
if(isEDGE()) {
$('a').attr('download','download');
} else {
$('a').attr('target','_blank');
}
})
Note:
I am not sure about Edge detecting function.
Method 1:
I suggest you clear the Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.
Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Edge.
Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
Method 2:
If you are using any Proxy connection, then try disabling the proxy connection and check.
Follow the steps to disable proxy:
Click the Settings icon at the top right corner in internet explorer.
Click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.
Click the Connections tab, and then click LAN settings.
Uncheck the box next to “proxy server for your LAN”.
Click on OK to save the setting and close window.
Now check the issue by opening Edge.
I want to debug code at the same time as I see what is being sent on the network tab without having to go back and forth between the Network tab and Sources tab. Is there a way to do this as of chrome Version 52.0.2743.82 or Version 54.0.2810.2 canary?
I know that it is possible to log http request in the console which can be visible with other tabs open but I want the actuall networks tab if possible..
Thank you in advance
This is now possible in Chrome 87. Right click Network in the menu and select "Move to bottom"
and it will do this
You can view 'Quick source' while viewing the Network panel (or the other main panels) at the same. This will allow you to view the source and add breakpoints.
However, it's not possible to step through code using the debugging in the split view. Chrome will automatically switch to the Sources tab if you use the shortcuts.
It's also not possible to have an extension running a separate instance of the debugger as the Chrome Debugging Protocol doesn't allow simultaneous clients to be connected.
I will open up a discussion with other Chromium contributors into the feasibility of sharing the debugging controls in the split view. I don't know whether it will or can be done easily. I suspect it's a fair amount of work.
If you would like to set up the split view, as it's useful anyway, go to overflow menu on the right side and select 'More Tools' and then select 'Show console'. This makes sure the panel loads below the main one.
On the left side of the panel that shows, click the overflow menu and select 'Quick source'.
You will now see a small Sources panel.
Since I was referred here from this question, I'll answer here.
In my scenario I need to be able to work on two different source files (under DevTools->Sources) simultaneously, for instance an html and a css file.
My workaround was to work on two separate tabs.
Right click one of them and click 'Open in new tab'.
When the new tab is open press F12 to open DevTools, and dock the two editors side by side (Focus on one and pressing ⊞+→ then leftwards on the other one).
Result:
I'm developing apps in Android Studio. But everytime I hit Run button, the Run tab pops up automatically from bottom with messages like Installing com.packagename etc..., Success, Launching
I've already disabled automatic displayin of Android DDMS tab (because I use DDMS from toolbar which opens new window) by editing configurations. But I can't disable this stupid automatic Run tab showing.
Is there any way to do this ?
There is no standard way of achieving this but I found an interesting workaround mentioned below and using the same.
When your run tab is opened, Instead of hiding it using right-top corner button, Drag it till it hides.
Like in picture shown below
Now Run your project run window wont appear, When you want it back click on run button in horizontal bar.
Working perfectly for me .
In case anyone still struggling with this annoying thing, there is a way to disable this annoying popup.
Note: this will remove the run tab altogether.
So basically go to your Run/Debug configuration and Uncheck Activate tool window at the bottom.
This gets rid of the Run tab.
