I am displaying an online internal website.
Upon clicking on a button "A" it processes a task, and goes to another HTML page. However, this direct address is like "hidden" (hard to explain).
For example, for each page I am accessing by simple button click, it's always the same URL (like http://host.com for every page I display from them).
I am using Firefox, and I need to know how to get the exact HTML address (or direct URL) used for displaying these full new pages. I managed to do it few months ago, but not anymore.
It will help me to automate some tasks and bashing programs. I am openned to any linux browser in case you find a way to help me. Thanks a lot.
it sounds like domain masking is used. you could check the source and see if a frame is being used on the page. the source should indicate the src of the frame, revealing the location of the page.
<frame src="page.html">
If the button uses window.open to navigate to the url, you could override that method and intercept the url there:
var oldOpen = window.open;
window.open = function(){
console.log(arguments[0]);
oldOpen.apply(window, arguments);
};

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'm working in writing a chrome extension, and as a result I have the peculiar situation of using non-cross domain Iframes, without the ability to alter the page being displayed in the frame.
When a user clicks a certain link, in he iframe, I want to run some JavaScript. The default behavior for clicking that link is to load page targetpage.com. I don't think it's possible, or easy, to read listen for a particular element being clicked inside an iframe
As a workaround, I figure I can check if the iframe reloads, pointing to targetpage.com, and then perform the action.
Note: the action is entirely in the parent page, let's imagine I'm just trying to trigger an alert box.
I know how to trigger JavaScript when an iframe loads. My three questions are:
1) how can I check the url of an iframe?
2) is there a way to check the iframe, url prior to targetpage.com being loaded. Esther than after?
3) is there a better solution?
You could listen to webNavigation.onBeforeNavigate in background page, it fires when a navigation is about to occur, and you could get url and frameId in the callback parameter.
This may not be the best answer because I haven't played around with this much.
Chrome has a webNavigation API that looks to be something which may come in handy for your extension.
However if you want to get the current domain you're on you'd use...
document.domain
If you're in a subdirectory of that domain you can grab that with...
window.location
It also works with an added hash to the url.
If you want the url without the hash you could use document.referrer or if you feel hacky you could do something like...
var str = window.location
var res = str.toString().split(str.hash)
document.body.innerHTML = res
I'm trying to find a way to take a link from one browser and open it in another browser. This could be taking a link from a Firefox tab and opening it in Chrome, or taking a link in a Chrome Incognito window and opening it in a non-incognito Chrome window.
Here's some more detail. I have a webpage that refreshes every second, and uses javascript(via Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey) to search for certain keywords. When a keyword in my list matches one associated with a link on the page, it automatically opens that link in a new tab. If it's possible, I need to take those links to a different browser somehow, automatically.
AFAIK, something like this isn't possible with javascript due to security issues. The only two solutions I can think of are:
1: Using AutoHotKey to make a macro to copy the link, alt-tab, and paste into the other program. This is manual, I want something automatic. EDIT: I realized I can use AHK to monitor a page, but I don't know if it could be done without introducing more latency than I would like. Keeping the total time from the webpage refreshing to opening the link as low as possible is the most important thing.
2: Having some other program handle it for me. I'm not aware of any and wonder how difficult/costly it would be to roll my own or have someone make one. I'm not even sure if I could interface it with my current script.
I'm fairly certain it would be possible with number 2, although I don't know about cost or difficulty... could there be another way to accomplish this?
For reference, this is the relevant section of code that I'm currently working with. It opens any link which matches a list of keywords in a new tab. These are the links I'm trying to figure out a way to open in a different browser. It uses dynamic object names and a dynamic URL, but essentially this is just saying if the checkboxes are checked and a link matches my autoOpenList(keyword list), then open the link in a new tab.
if(jQuery.inArray(autoOpenTemp,autoOpenList) != -1 && window['autoAccept' + autoOpenTemp].checked && autoAccept_input.checked ){
var tempURL = LINK_BASE+obj.acc_link;
window.open(tempURL, '_blank');
}

I assume it is some clever javascript that is enabling the folks at this webpage:
http://www.chairworks.com/
...to close my (the parent) page which opened their (chairworks.com) page in the first place.
I did not open them with javascript, but with an <a> tag with the target="_blank" attribute.
If I disable javascript, then the behavior stops.
www.chairworks.com
I would expect the page at chairworks.com/ to simply open in another tab/window... but what I find is that as soon as the new browser tab opens, it closes, and then my page (the parent tab/window) gets redirected to the chairworks.com page.
Kinda rude.
Can someone point me to what code enables them to do that? And how do I prevent it? (Assuming I want a link to behave as expected, such as in my demo page.)
I believe the proper thing to do is set corresponding link type attribute so the browser doesn't provide the target window with and opener reference.
Link
You can read more about link types here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Link_types
This is the script they are using:
setTimeout('redirect_page()',0);
function redirect_page(){if (window.opener) { window.opener.location.href = '/home.html'; window.close(); } else { location.href = '/home.html'; }}
As to how to circumvent it (just an idea):
Create your own blank page, with it's source set to about:blank. When it loads (or after a time-out) you could write some code to that window that will then open the offending link.
Then the offending link just closes your buffer-page. F*ck 'm!! Power to the user!
Edit: looks like you could also name your page home.html hehe, but that is not such a workable solution..
Final Edit: SIMPLE LOGIC people...
www.chairworks.com
works for everyone, no javascript needed.
See this working jsfiddle example.
As #GitaarLAB explained, the targeted website is using the window.opener property to get access to your page. Using some Javascript yourself, and an about:blank page in the middle, can help you cut their access to your page. It would be like:
http://www.chairworks.com/
Some notes:
I'm leaving the href property there for users without JS enabled (guess what! the targeted website won't have JS neither! ;), or the web crawlers like search engines' (only those who don't care about JS stuff, though)
Before redirecting to the targeted website, you cut the back-link by resetting the window.opener attribute of the new window.
And after opening the targeted website, there's a return false; to prevent the normal the browser to use the href and target attributes.
A site that links to mine keeps my site in a frame, so I added the following JavaScript to my page:
if (window.top.location != window.location) {
window.top.location = window.location
}
Now if I get to my site via the offending site, my site successfully breaks out of the frame. But the back button breaks! The back button sends the user to the framed version of my site, which immediately breaks out again, returning him to where he was trying to leave! Is there a simple way to fix this?
window.top.location.replace(window.location);
The replace method is specifically for this purpose. It replaces the current item in the history state with the new destination so that the back button won't go through the destination you don't want.
jfriend00's answer is indeed correct. Using the window.location.replace method will work without affecting the back button.
However, I'd just like to note that whenever you want to stop a page from being framed, you should do more than just that! There are a couple methods of preventing a simple script like that from breaking out of the frame, which work in many modern browsers. Perhaps you can disable the page, display a message with a link to the full page, something like that. You could also use the X-Frame-Options response header that tells the browser not to display the page in a frame. If you don't take some of these measures, your site could be clickjacked.
Another solution is to open your site in a new window leaving a friendly message in the iframed site:
if (parent.frames.length)
{ window.open("mySite.htm", "MySite");
location.href= "framedMessage.htm";
}
Where framedMessage.htm contains some friendly/warning message.
