EDIT:
The solution I am seeking is a command line to be run to accomplish this from a batch file in Windows.
How would I mimic a browser function to open a URL with a specific target so that if that tab is already open it will load there instead of creating a new tab?
So instead of the default http://url.com with the target "_blank", I could change this to "w00t", etc.
I am using Chrome exclusively, so if this were to be a Chrome specific command, that would be acceptable.
You could create a HTML-page and add the following code like this:
<script>
var url = getQueryVariable("url");
var target = getQueryVariable("target");
window.open(url,target);
function getQueryVariable(variable) {
var query = window.location.search.substring(1);
var vars = query.split("&");
for (var i=0;i<vars.length;i++) {
var pair = vars[i].split("=");
if (pair[0] == variable) {
return pair[1];
}
}
}
</script>
I have this script hosted here: scriptcoded.github.io/redirect
You could then call it from a batch-file using this command:
START scriptcoded.github.io/redirect?url=http://www.google.com&target=w00t
Use ?url=http://www.google.com&target=_blank to set the redirect.
The only problems I find with this method is that some browsers blocks the new window and that the tab won't close. Yes, we could use window.close();, but it will only close tabs that were opened by the webpage itself.
Hope it helps!
set name for html tag of target page like this:
<html name="w00t">
Note: A link to URL with target name, sets the name for target window automatically:

I am trying to use code modeled after https://stackoverflow.com/a/29702251/9885144 to do an HttpRequest, generate a download link from the returned blob, then automatically download it (all after clicking a button). Here is the function that runs when the button is clicked: (the Converter.toDocx() function runs an HttpRequest.postFormData() in the format I need and returns the future.)
getDocx(String qStr, String aStr) {
String totalString = qStr + aStr;
Converter.toDocx(convertURL, totalString).then((HttpRequest req) {
String contentType = req.getResponseHeader("content-type");
print(contentType);
String filename = "download.docx";
AnchorElement downloadLink =
new AnchorElement(href: Url.createObjectUrlFromBlob(req.response));
downloadLink.rel = contentType;
downloadLink.download = filename;
var event = new MouseEvent("click", view: window, cancelable: false);
downloadLink.dispatchEvent(event);
});
}
It works fine (on Chrome, Firefox, and Edge) when I use webdev serve. It also works fine when deployed on my remote server with webdev build --no-release -o build:web. But it does not work if I drop the --no-release option so I assume something is different about how dart2js handles this versus dartdevc. I plan to add a popup window with a "click here if it doesn't download" link as a workaround, but is there a better option or is this a dart2js bug?
I'm supper new here, either Javascript and JXA, so pardon me if I make some stupid questions. But I'm trying to figure out a way to get the string from the highlighted text using JXA - JavaScript for Automation, for Javascript can be recognized in Automator since Yosemite, I thought I can make something work with these:
window.getSelection in:
function getSelectedText() {
if (window.getSelection) {
txt = window.getSelection();
} else if (window.document.getSelection) {
txt =window.document.getSelection();
} else if (window.document.selection) {
txt = window.document.selection.createRange().text;
}
return txt;
}
This code is not mine, somebody posted this. But I've found out that I can't use window or document here in Automator to make change to Mac OS, so can someone show me how to convert this Javascript code into JXA which Automator can understand?
Thanks a lot!
In general, you can use the System Events app to copy and paste with any app.
'use strict';
//--- GET A REF TO CURRENT APP WITH STD ADDITONS ---
var app = Application.currentApplication()
app.includeStandardAdditions = true
var seApp = Application('System Events')
//--- Set the Clipboard so we can test for no selection ---
app.setTheClipboardTo("[NONE]")
//--- Activate the App to COPY the Selection ---
var safariApp = Application("Safari")
safariApp.activate()
delay(0.2) // adjust the delay as needed
//--- Issue the COPY Command ---
seApp.keystroke('c', { using: 'command down' }) // Press ⌘C
delay(0.2) // adjust the delay as needed
//--- Get the Text on the Clipboard ---
var clipStr = app.theClipboard()
console.log(clipStr)
//--- Display Alert if NO Selection was Made ---
if (clipStr === "[NONE]") {
var msgStr = "NO Selection was made"
console.log(msgStr)
app.activate()
app.displayAlert(msgStr)
}

You need to mix JXA and Safari’s javaScript…
var Safari = Application("Safari") // get Safari
selection = Safari.doJavaScript("document.getSelection().toString()",{
in: Safari.windows[0].tabs[0] // assume frontmost window and tab
})
The script is in JXA, but the document.getSelection().toString() is Safari’s javaScript.
Of course you will need to enable apple events in Safari… http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/03/enable-the-develop-menu-in-safari/
If you want the selected text from another application, the code might be very different.
Don't do that, it's only applicable to JavaScript embedded inside a web browser. JXA is a standalone JS interpreter that has absolutely no understanding of web pages or DOM (and frankly doesn't have much clue about Mac application scripting either, btw).
Instead, use Automator to create an OS X Service as services can manipulate selected text in almost any OS X app; no application scripting required.
I'm creating a Firefox extension for adding some functionality to certain Web pages. I need to check that some elements do exist and highlight them, so I'm using xpath to check and locate them. I know about manipulating tabs and the content through tabs and ports, but I really need to use the low level API and do it without ports. The thing is, I don't know how to get the current opened tab window (I can also open the tab, but I'm not getting the window). I already tryed to open a tab and :
tabs.open({
url: url,
onOpen: function onOpen(tab) {
// get the XUL tab that corresponds to this high-level tab
var lowLevelTab = viewFor(tab);
var browser = tab_utils.getBrowserForTab(lowLevelTab);
var doc = browser.contentDocument;
console.log(doc); //THIS IS AN EMPTY DOC
// get the most recent window. This give me a XUL window, and I can't sucessfully execute eval on that...
var win = utils.getMostRecentBrowserWindow();
}})
I sawa lot of methods for retrieving different kinds of windows, but I'm not finding the explanation about the differences. E.g. Chroe window, XUL window, NSI window, base window...I just need the current Web page's document window.
Any clarification is welcome.
Thanks in advance,
I just needed to listen for another tab event:
onReady: function onOpen(tab) {
var content = utils.getMostRecentBrowserWindow().content;
var domInstances = content.document.evaluate(me.getTemplateXpath(), content.document, null, 4, null);
var res = domInstances.iterateNext();
while (res) {
console.log(res);
res.style["background-color"] = "orange";
res = domInstances.iterateNext();
}
callback();
}
I'm trying to work around the lack of API for Google Spreahsheet's Filter Views, by passing the filter view's URL into a hyperlink displayed in a sidebar.
Importantly: I want the filter view URL to open in the same window as, and thus replace, the spreadsheet. The hyperlink target should then be _self
function listFilterViews(){
var uiInstance = UiApp.createApplication()
.setTitle('Teacher Views');
var panel = uiInstance.createVerticalPanel();
panel.setSpacing(5)
var scroll = uiInstance.createScrollPanel();
scroll.setHeight("100%")
var url = "https://docs.google.com/blablabla"
var link = uiInstance.createAnchor("click me", url)
link.setTarget("_self")
panel.add(link);
scroll.add(panel)
uiInstance.add(scroll);
SpreadsheetApp.getUi().showSidebar(uiInstance);
}
However, the URL doesn't open in the same window as expected but in an other window instead. How can I fix this?
According to the setTarget documentation:
"(setting a target to _self) will only work if the app is being shown as a standalone service. It will have no effect when called inside a dialog, such as in a Google Spreadsheet."
Apps Script intentionally prevents scripts from being able to switch the view of the current window, as a security measure.
I am new to Phonegap programming.I created one HTML page(ListScreen.html) with NavigationBar plugin.In ListScreen I displayed list of data.When I select the one list item it goes to another HTML page that is DetailsScreen.html page.I tried the code in ListScreen.html as follows:
$(document).on("click", "#lstMyList li" ,function (event) {
window.location.href='DetailsScreen.html';
});
How to send the selected item from ListScreen.html to DetailsScreen.html.Please help me.
You can use local storage. I supports any JavaScript object.
localStorage.setItem("oneKey", anObject);
var anObject = localStorage.getItem("oneKey");
It works perfectly for me. try this way -
var foo = localStorage["bar"];
localStorage["bar"] = foo;
