I making this bot in JavaScript in the chrome console. And one of the lines in my script is window.open('thewebsite','_self') so it opens a different website in the same window. However I cant seem to execute code on that new website that I opened with window.open(). For example I want to do document.getElementById().click() however its not clicking on the new website I made.
For example:
If I was on google.com the script would open googleimages. But I want the next line of code for example typing in the search bar to happen on google images.
window.open refreshes console, so you can't execute any code after.
You could try to get target url content and replace first page content, but you'll be blocked with Access-Control-Allow-Origin
What you're trying to achieve is indeed a macro. You should take a look at iMacros and see how they chain instructions from page to page.

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'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 am currently working on testing a site and one of the issues I am running into is working with a non Javascript popup.
I have tried using the Selenium Alert interface.
Sample of what I have done
Alert a = WebDriver.switchTo().alert()
alert.accept()
alert.dismiss()
This seems to work for Javascript pop up alerts but not for non javascript pop up alerts. Is there any way to deal with pop ups with Selenium that aren't Javascript based?
Last time I ran into a pop-up like this, it was a frame that was otherwise "invisible." Open the page with your favorite browser, highlight something in the pop-up, right-click it and choose Inspect Element, then follow its XPath. You may have to switch frames a few times in Selenium to get where you need to be.
If its HTML popup then no specific thing needs to be done, just locate required element normally just like you do for normal web page.
But if its saying element not found then there can be 2 cases:
popup is present inside an iframe
before this popup you were inside iframe but that pop up is present in defaultContent View.
Depending on case, use these solutions:
For #1 : driver.switchTo().frame(0); //Here 0 means first iframe, you can use iframe id also
For #2 : driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
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've just created a simple bookmarklet to load a URL containing a generated string. Is it possible to make this bookmarklet work like a normal bookmark:
When left-clicking opens in the current tab.
When middle-clicking opens in a new tab.
After putting in a folder, when selecting Open All in Tabs opens in a new tab.
The first works, but the second does the same as the first, and the third results in just javascript:... in the location bar.
Edit: Could be related to this bug report reported nine years ago. Is there some way to work around it?
You should try putting your JavaScript code in a separate page saved on your computer somewhere, then bookmark that instead.
