I'm trying to provide a link to chrome://newtab (the new tab page) for my distraction-preventing page for when I need to access it, however clicking the link gives the error Failed to load resource.
I've tried:
Linking to it using <a href="chrome://newtab">
Attempting to redirect the user using window.location.
The chrome: prefix aliases to chrome:// but still fails to load.
Does anyone know if this is possible or has any ideas to try?
I am not sure why it doesn't work, but I think it is for security reasons.
Pages on the internet should not have access to local resources and the new tab page is a local resource.
Format your link thusly (also will work with firefox and other tabbed browsers):
Click me
EDIT: of course, that's not actually the new tab page. It's just a blank tab. Going to leave it anyways.
I think you'll have to write a Chrome extension to get access to the chrome://newtab link, it doesn't seem possible for an ordinary webpage to access it.
Edit: This solution no longer works, but I'll leave it for anyone that might try to hunt down why it stopped working.
I finally found that https://www.google.com/_/chrome/newtab will open chrome://newtab, thanks to this post.
Don't ask me why.

I've have simple link:
...
I use it on my CodePens to link to my profile on Twitter. Here is a base pen that I link to other pens. https://codepen.io/jcubic/pen/WZjbgq?editors=0010 I use it for a long time, and now when I've checked. The link doesn't work.
I've got an error that the server blocked my request and I've got the error ERR_BLOCKED_BY_RESPONSE
I've tried to use rel="noreferrer noopener" but have no effect. I'm not able to open links that point to Twitter.
Does anybody know what is happening and how to fix it? The only way to visit twitter is to copy-paste the URL and open it in a new tab.
I use Fedora GNU/Linux and Google Chrome.
EDIT:
Weird is that it's only happened in the CodePen iframe. I can open Twitter links just fine when in debug mode.
I can report this to CodePen support but if you know why it's happening I will be able to why it's happening and maybe provide a solution.
i accidentally deleted it and saved it, and the i refreshed the site and everything is just a blank white screen. i cant even see my admin page, though i can still login. help!!
I'm trying to find a way to use a proxy tool to intercept the HTTP response and fix the broken script tag, and then fix it in the UI, but i'm not having any success there yet.
Is there a way I can restore the site, or load a previous version of the site?
this is what i could find on Chrome Developer Tools
well you can roll back if its in your hosting abilities. Check your hosting
is it late to press ctrl + z to the previous results
maybe the whole code share could help. because right now I see that you have a JSON error. Where is the line from where it fires
TL;DR - why does Wordpress remove file:// from file links?
Our intranet page has a section containing icons with links behind them. All of a sudden (our guess is after an update), one of the links stopped working. The link is as follows (1):
<img src="/img/meetings.jpg" style="width:75px; height:75px;"/>
The expected behaviour (in Internet Explorer (2)) is that the file explorer opens, and points to the share \vmdata\meetings, which has always worked up until now.
When I hover over the icon image I see the following code however:
http://vmdata/meetings
and when I check the HTML by viewing the source of the page, I see that the file:// prefix is indeed gone:
<a href="//vmdata/meetings" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">
To work around this issue, I had a look at a page on which the original creator had added the same type of links. My idea was to create a similar page, copy the HTML code on the page and link the icon to said page. I added the page and HTML link but after viewing the page, the result is exactly the same: the file:// prefix is gone.
My guess is that something within Wordpress is rewriting/removing the file:// link. My question now is twofold: how do I stop this rewriting/removing behaviour, and/or how can I add a link to a fileshare as before?
PS: the creator of the website is no longer available, and the website is running yet unmanaged. Only content creators are left. We have no Wordpress knowledge in house, so we're basically just trying to keep the site up and running (in wait for a new site).
(1) I realise that pointing to a server share from an intranet site is a very ugly way to publish files. However, as stated before, we're in a situation of if it ain't broke don't fix it with this website, so we just want to go back to a working situation. Creating a page to link to (hosted) documents would be a lot better, but is for various reasons not feasible.
(2) please don't bother pointing out NOT to use Internet Explorer (anymore), we all know that but we are stuck with it because it is a requirement for one of the major tools we all use everyday. As long as that tool doesn't support other browsers, we're stuck with IE (unfortunately).
I found another question regarding this issue: can't save network share path as a link in wordpress 3.1
Apparently the correct way to add an allowed protocol into WordPress is to modify the functions.php file and add the following code:
function allowed_link_protocols_filter($protocols)
{
$protocols[] = 'file';
return $protocols;
}
add_filter('kses_allowed_protocols', 'allowed_link_protocols_filter');
More information can be found in the following article: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/kses_allowed_protocols/
Adding the code above solved the problem for me, so I hope this helps others to solve similar issues in the future.
Every other website I visit, the inspector works as expected:
But in many of the sites I'm editing within apache server (using xampp) somehow they doesn't show the "filename.css:lineNumber" data
Also, every change I try to do in the inspector in thse sites, doesn't do anything to the code shown in the source tab.
I've tried refreshing, hard refreshing with cache, closing and opening the tab, closing and opening chrome again. The same problem occurs.
In other sites the inspector works well, but not in many of the localhost sites.
Has someone experienced this before? Is there a way to fix this?
If you are using a client-side CSS generator library such as Lea Verou's excellent -prefix-free or client-side Less, you will not see source information as it has all been processed and reinjected as style elements.
Client-side Less has a property [dumpLineNumbers] to include source line info as a comment in the generated source. (I'm not sure if this will display in Chrome's inspector - but I think it might)
The only "fix" I know of for -prefix-free is to temporarily remove it, obtain the source info for reference, then put it back in.
I have had the exact same problem (not using a css generator), and it appears to be a known bug with the current version of Chrome, the solution is to use the more up to date Beta version known as Chrome Canary - Here's the link :)

Try to check what the format of your CSS file is. I had the same trouble with the UNIX and Macintosh formats. For example, try to open you CSS file in Notepad++ and in the bottom right corner of the window you'll see your current format. If you see UNIX or Macintosh there, click it with the right button of your mouse and change to DOS/Windows. Then save your file and refresh your page in Chrome. It definitely helped in my case.enter image description here
I am currently building an asp intranet site.
There are various helpful links that I need to include and some of them happen to be .xls files that are located on a local network within the company.
I link these documents just like I would any word docs (which work fine by the way).
<span>Schedule</span>
The link above works if I simply copy and paste the raw address into my browser (a pop-up window comes up asking me to open the file in Excel). But when I make this a link on the intranet site and try to click on it, nothing happens. I can see the link when I hover over it on the status bar but that's it. It is non-clickable. Anyone have any idea what is causing this and how to fix it?
I should mention that two of these .xls files are password-protected but one of them is simply a read-only file which can be opened by anyone.
I am 100% sure this has nothing to do with css styling because the same thing happens in the current (old) intranet site made by someone else and I use these links on different menu bars as well.
I think you use wrong syntax for shared files, try this:
file:///P:\-Projects-\SCHEDULE.xls
Backslashes are still valid for the path part. Moreover, I'm not sure whether Sharepoint may recognize correctly path to most likely network drive P:.
For me such link to local share works:
file:///\\fs-1\Install\Windows\Servers\DB\MSSQL\SQL2005\en_sql_server_2005_service_pack_4_x64.exe
The solution to this problem is to add the site to the "Trusted Sites" list.
Opening intranet files without the user knowing is considered a secruity threat.
In IE go to Internet Options -> Security -> Trusted Sites then add the site.
