I use a userscript to modify the client-side code of a website. This code is adding an anchor tag to the page. Its target is _blank. The thing is that if I click this link too frequently, the site errors. A simple refresh on the new tab fixes the problem.
When I click on the link and it instantly opens a new tab. But I don't want that new tab to render until I visit it, or with some sort of time delay. Is there a way of achieving this?
I am using Firefox, so Firefox-only solutions are fine. I found this, but I don't see a way of using it to prevent the tab from rendering in the first place. When I Google for this, I see results about add-ons that can solve the problem. But, the links to them always 404. Ideally, the solution would only affect the tabs created by this script instead of the way all tabs work, but if the only way to do it is to affect the way all tabs work, I'd accept that as a solution.
The Tampermonkey documentation says there is a GM_openInTab function. It has a parameter called loadInBackground, but it only decides if the new tab is focused when you click the link.
If there is a way of making this new tab render some HTML of my choosing, I think that would be a neat solution. i.e., I'd write some HTML that, on focus, goes to the actual website's page. If this is an option, I'd need to know how to open a tab to HTML of my choosing in grease monkey.
(Just realization of idea you told in your question yourself)
You can place simple page that waits for focus and then redirects to what you pass in URL parameter somewhere and open in background tabs. Like:
load-url-from-search-on-focus.html?http://example.com:
<!doctype html>
<body
onload="document.title=u=location.search.slice(1)"
onfocus="u?document.location.replace(u):document.write('?search missing')">
Try it.
(data:uri could have been used instead of hosted page, if there weren't those pesky security precautions blocking rendering of top-level datauri navigations :|)

I am trying to profile some javascript code on this url by setting an event listener breakpoint on mouse click.
When you click on any flight on the results page, it opens a new tab with another link and the logic to build that link must be using javascript, since there is no network traffic going on when the click is done.
The problem is when doing a profiling it shows some js functions called but none of them related to the new tab opened. Maybe it is related to some other event? Any other ways to profile this use case?
Basically the goal would be to understand how that new tab link is generated and get it without the need to actually click it, using data that must be already present somewhere on the code beforehand.
Any insights would be appreciated!
I've done some looking around and couldn't find any solution to this problem.
I'm creating a Chrome extension, with a manifest that points to the opening file home-times.html. This works, though I want to redirect it internally to the other page home-welcome.html inside the extension so it loads another page INSIDE the extension.
I've read a lot of questions that refer to changing the current tab's page, though that's not what I am after.
Tests
By using the following code:
test
Opens a new tab, with the extensions page that I am trying to access in that new tab.
If I got you right, you want to change your popup innerHTML, in this case I suggest using jQuery, to change original file to the result you want.
If you just want to open new tab, with your home-welcome.html, you can do this, in your popup.js :
window.open('home-welcome.html','_blank')
If none of this is what you are looking for, can you please provide an example, I will try to help.
I have a website that that suddenly start triggering a new ad window, something that I didn't do myself. I want to know how can I know which part of the page or script is responsible for opening the new window after I click a specific link?
There are a lot of files, so I am searching for a tool that can catch those specific javascript codes that do pop ups. Then I can find the source of the code and neutralize it. I prefer not to do manual search because there are a lot of JS files.
In IE press f12 and start the profiler. It will tell you what javascript has executed so far during your browsing session. I would look at the calls there to narrow it down.
It should be something like
window.open()
In JavaScript
I've written a simple bookmarklet that opens multiple web pages with a single click:
javascript:(function(){window.open("http://www.w3schools.com");window.open("http://www.google.com");window.open("http://www.yahoo.com");})();
I wan't to be able to open the browser and click this immediately, but the bookmarklet won't work unless a page is already loaded in the window. I prefer to have my browser home page set to "Blank" for speed. Is there a way to make this bookmarklet execute without a page already loaded?
Also, I'd like the bookmarklet to replace whatever page is loaded in the window, if something is indeed loaded. At present, it opens 3 new tabs. I've tried the "_self" and "_parent" values for the "name" attribute on the first window.open, but it doesn't seem to work. I may not be formatting it correctly.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
It isn't possible to open bookmarklet in no page.
Instead, you can try to set your homepage to something like data:text/html,Welcome! (yes, it IS a working URL).
To open a page in the same tab, type:
location.href='http://www.w3schools.com'
I was having the same problem, and learned from the internet that if you go to your about:config, search for browser.newtab.url and change it to about:blank instead of the default about:newtab your javascript bookmarklets should work (just tried, and it's working!). This should be cleaner than doing a data:text/html message (in any case even if you set the homepage it doesn't work for every new tab, only once for a new window)
I'm looking at using AJAX to allow some content within part of a page to be reloaded without reloading the entire web page (eg things like overview, reviews, specifications, etc pages about a single item).
The problem is however I still want to allow users to open these items in a new tab or window (using the normal systems for their web browser such as right clicking the link and picking "Open Link in New Tab) rather than just left clicking the link).
Is it at all possible to do this, or is it just generally best practice to reload the entire page in cases like this?
It's very much doable. You simply need to provide an href and an onclick in your links.
The href will activate if the user has no JS, or if the user decides to open the link in a special way (new tab, etc.)
The onclick will activate on "normal" clicks of the link. You can then cancel the default action (by returning false or using your JS lib of choice's way to do it) and do your ajax stuff.
It is possible, in fact its even possible to set up a timer to update portions of pages periodically. If you are using jquery it'd be something like this:
setInterval(function() {
$('#your-div').load('your-server-side-request.php');
}, 3000);
of course you could simply bind to a link, and on refresh use .load().
OR you could even just do this with normal javascript and use my script above as pseudocode essentially.
