Using simple HTML code, no JavaScript, nothing fancy, I use this HREF
Click here
Clicking on the link in IE, FireFox, Edge does open a new tab for https://www.example.com on click. In Chrome (version 79), the click just redisplays the current page.
This happens on Chrome desktop and phone (Android). There are no add-ins to my installation of Chrome; no popup or ad blocking installed.
Why doesn't Chrome open a new tab when target="_blank" is used? Thanks.

The issue seems to be with an HREF being inside a FORM element. The FORM element is as follows:
<form action='' method='post'>
An HREF with target="_blank" outside the FORM element works properly. Just not inside the FORM element.
But still puzzled as to why that would be the case...and for a workaround or solution.
Added more - plus code
There's a button inside the form, and the button contains an image, and the link in the button will not open up a new tab.
Simple form with the button
<form action='' method='post'>
<p>inside the form</p>
<p><button><img src="https://via.placeholder.com/150 " width="24" height="24" class='button_img' alt='delete' /> that's a button</button></p>
<p><button>that's a button </button></p>
</form>
So, with even further testing, the click to open a new tab won't work in Chrome when the HREF is wrapped around an button with an image inside a form. But works in FireFox and Edge.
Why?
There are four image/buttons inside the form. The fourth one is the HREF/blank. Items 1-2-3 are form submittals; values need to be passed to the form processing page. The 4th item doesn't need to be processed by the form, but it is inside the form so that all four items will be on the same line. If I place the 4th (HREF/blank) outside of the form, then the 4th item is wrapped around to the next line.

The <button> tag cannot be opened in a new tab the same way an <a> does.
You can use this instead:
<p>
<button onClick="window.open('https://www.bklnk.com/B004RVZRL0');">
<img src="https://via.placeholder.com/150 " width="24" height="24" class='button_img' alt='delete' />
that's a button
</button>

I am using the Firefox webdriver for Selenium to scrape a webpage that looks to be rendered with React on the client side. The classes in the rendered DOM look dynamically generated, and seem to change with every new request. There are also many button elements on the page, some of which are not in the viewport. So my strategy is to search for a way to click on a button that contains text that I enter using selenium. Several buttons will contain the text, and I want to just find the first such button.
Using selenium/xpath, how would I select the first button that contained the text E9 1QJ?
<button>
<div><svg ...> </div>
<div>
<div>London</div>
<div>E9 1QJ</div>
</div>
</button>
<button>
<div><svg ...> </div>
<div>
<div>London Foo Bar</div>
<div>E9 1QJ</div>
</div>
</button>
Thanks
This should work:
{driver}.find_element_by_xpath("//button[div/div[text()='E9 1QJ']][1]")
But keep in mind that a solution like this it is not very flexible and could break with a minimum change in the html structure.
I am developing an automation script and a part of it requires me to hover over a navigation bar to display a dropdown menu. The script is written using NodeJS and the browser used is Internet Explorer.
Navigation source code
...
<ul class=navigation " data-dojo-attach-point="nonmMenu ">
<li class= "dropdown ">
<i class="fa fa-clipboard nav-icon " aria-hidden="true "></i><span>Accounts</span>
<div class='fulldrop i3">..</div>
</li>
</ul>
...
NodeJS code:
let xPathButton = "//span[text()='Accounts']";
//Find button to hover over
let buttonWithDropDown = driver.findElement(By.xpath(xPathButton));
//Hover
driver.actions().mouseMove(buttonWithDropDown).perform();
However, this does not work. The end goal is to click a link once the dropdown menu appears, which I have tried doing but as the element is not visible I get the exception ElementNotInteractableError: Cannot click on element. I would appreciate some pointers in the right direction to sort this out.
Update:
Been looking at this a bit more; Could the aria-hidden attribute in the anchor tag be causing the selenium driver to not detect the element?
Please note that changing the browser is not an option.
Try to hover over an a or li element. Also you can try click:
By.xpath("//a[span[.='Accounts']]")
By.xpath("//li[.//span[.='Accounts']]")
You can try open menu without opening menu with javascript:
executeJavaScript("arguments[0].click();", yourDropdownMenuElement);
I use the "SB Admin 2" Theme for a project.
The integratet Metis Menu works very well on desktop, also on tablet.
But when I visit the page with my phone, the menu doesn't hide completely.
Only when I scroll the page.
You can visit https://blackrockdigital.github.io/startbootstrap-sb-admin-2/pages/index.html to test ist.
If you shrink the browser as far as its like a mobile screen, the menu does not hide.
I tried to do it on the bottom of my index.html file with $('#side-menu').metisMenu('collapse'); but it does not work. This is also defined in the sb-admin-2.js file. But it doenst work either.
Can you help me to get the menu hide completly, even on mobile devices?
Try downgrading the JQuery version to 2.1.3:
https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.3.min.js
There are issues with metismenu with newer Jquery versions:
https://github.com/onokumus/metismenu/issues/128
You can do this with hiding it with css only
.navbar-top-links {
display: none
}
Or if you don't want to hide it always only on button click. Create a new button with these attributes before your current unordered list (ul)
<button type="button" class="collapse-2" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse2" aria-expanded="true">
And replace this code
<ul class="nav navbar-top-links navbar-right">
With this code
<ul class="nav navbar-top-links navbar-right navbar-expand-sm navbar-collapse panel-collapse collapse" id="collapse2">
I managed to get it working like this only you have to style the button and place it in the correct position.
If you visit www.arbetsformedlingen.se from a mobile, you will find a menu.
If you open that menu, you can only access items within that menu since tapping outside of the menu will close the menu.
If you for some reason are using a keyboard, you cannot tab out of
that menu.
However, visitors who uses the screen reader VoiceOver in IOS can simply move out of that menu by using the swipe left/right gestures to access the previous/next object in the DOM.
Question: Is there some way to prevent those users to access objects outside of the menu when the menu is visible?
An unsuitable solution due to the CMS would be to place the main content and the menu on the same node level, like in the simplified code below:
<body>
<div class=”maincontent” aria-hidden=”false”>
// Main content.
</div>
<div class=”mobilemenu” aria-hidden=”true” style="display:none">
// Menu.
</div>
</body>
When the menu is opened, the aria-hidden and display:none are toggled in order to just show the page contents or the menu.
Another unsuitable solution would be to toggle aria-hidden to every other object when the menu is opened, but that is impossible due to performance issues.
So, any piece of advice, thoughts etc are very welcome!!!
Using HTML5, you can set the "tab-index" to positive numbers on the elements within the menu. This will set focus to those elements. `
<div class="menu-container">
<div class="menu">
<div tabindex="1">Menu Item 1</div>
<div tabindex="2">Menu Item 2</div>
<div tabindex="2">Menu Item 3</div>
</div>
</div>
This may not be the best solution depending on what your trying to accomplish and what your code structure looks like.
You'll want to be sure to use the "tab-index" attribute correctly as to not break accessibility.

I'm brand new to Chrome Extension creation and was hoping someone could direct me to some documentation specific to my goals.
I'd like to create a form-like text box (screenshot of text-box) that sits on the Chrome omnibar where the Extension icons stack up. I'd like to be able to type plain text into this box while web-browsing. Also, I'd like to be able to tap Ctrl+K and have the cursor jump into this box and highlight whatever's there for easy copy/pasting.
Essentially, I want to use Firefox's search-bar/box presentation in Chrome as a scratch-pad for taking plain text notes while web-browsing.
I followed the elementary documentation on creating an extension and the HTML I wrote works well in presentation when clicking the icon-button. But I don't want to have to click a button. I just want the Form box to exist on the omnibar persistently and I also want to access it via Ctrl+K.
Can anybody help?
Here's the HTML I wrote (looks just like the Firefox search-bar/box):
<html>
<form action="">
<p>
<input type="text" size="40" />
</p>
</form>
</html>
