New Window

Post by Thomas »

When clicking a link that opens a new window on certain sites, the new window is opened with a blank window. The URL bar indicates that it has the correct URL, but the window is blank. I discovered this when using v2.10.6b.
Could this be a problem with our ini file?
I don't know if this has any bearing, but it appears to happen on sites that are redirected using authentication (banking logins, etc).

Do you have an example that we can follow?

This setting will also cause this type of problem.

[SecondWindow]
OpenInParentWindow=True

Try using a stock INI file. This should eliminate a configuration problem in your INI file.

version 2.10.6

www.hvcc.edu, when you click on the "check your webmail" icon on the bottom left, second window opens and it appears to travel there, but displays as a blank gray window. When using an older version I had OpenInNewProcess=True to get around this, but that doesn't appear to be available any more.

Are you using the PWB shellbar? If not the following setting can cause this type of issue in a secondary window.

[SecondWindow]
ShowShellBar=True

We're not using shell bar, so I changed that value to False and it appears to have resolved our issue. Thanks Scott!
