Im using RPA blueprism. Ive 2 interacting browser which is passing data between each other but i cant bring the currently interacted browser to the front. That means the process is running on the back of the first browser. Is there any global action that i can use? Ive managed to get the PID of each browser and ive tried using Focus action on html element but no luck. Do help and TQVM in advanced.
Try spying the entire browser as an element and in navigate stage use activate application. it brings the browser to the front.

Is there anyway that I can make Chrome Extension's window stick in window even while clicking outside of its resolution?
I'm trying to make it Sticky on the window for one simple google login so that I don't need to go back again to click extension to open it.
By using tabs API you could retrieve windowId of the window you want to focus on. You could do it only if needed e.g. by using query method from that API. You could pass url for example.
If you created a window that you want to be still focused then you have its id already in the hand.
After that, you could use window API update method in order to draw attention or focus. Take a look at updateInfo params - focus and drawAttention.
The same could be done by using tabs API. You could pass tabId and the URL you want to redirect someone.
Now in order to make it work you have a couple of options:
You can use setInterval which would be used to check if the tabId and windowId you want are active and focus the window/tab you want in another case.
Because in the MV3 extensions using setInterval is not recommended you could use alarms. Please take a look at AlarmCreateInfo, when param should help you instead of triggering the alarm periodically.
You could also use event listeners from both windows and tabs API to listen on tab / window focus change. Then you will be able block the change (from user perspective) by methods I described before.
You should play with all approaches and pick on that suits you, because all of them have some drawback. But don't want to make that comment very long.
Blazor-Server apps use the SignalR circuit.
I can somewhat understand how there is JS that change events happening from the DOM, so instead of sending a new HTTP GET request the framework manipulates the DOM and displays the new blazor page.
But how is it even possible that the circuit is still active and working on page back button? This is a BROWSER FEATURE, not some html element, which can be changed, right? Would it not be a security issue if the browser back button behavior can be manipulated in different ways?
Not firing a new HTTP GET request on page back seems pretty hacky. Wouldn't that allow for malicious websites to do the same? Can websites access the last page visited with that??
How does the browser "know" that the last page should also use the same websocket circuit?
Is it then possible to tell the browser that it should establish a websocket on a past page, that didn't even have any before (would seem like a security risk)?
How does the back button differ from hitting "enter" in the address bar (which will always cut and establish a new circuit)?
Is the back button exactly the same as calling JS history.back() ?
I'm building a Chrome extension that makes the badge show a number returned from an API. I have the code working fine, but I have it listening for DOMContentLoaded, so it only updates when the user opens up the extension.
I would like the extension to check the API every time the browser loads a page. I do not need to change anything in the page, I just want to use it for timing.
I'm not sure what I should be using, should I be using background pages, event pages, or something else? What would be the best way to go about this?
Thanks in advance!
The api you want for “every time the browser loads a page” is chrome.tabs.onUpdated. You’d have:
chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(function(tabId,changeInfo,tab) {
chrome.browserAction.setBadgeText({"text":"ABCD","tabId":tabId});
});
An easy approach for development is to use a background page, get it working, and then figure out what changes you need to convert it to an event page. With this stub however, nothing is stopping you from making it an event page.
I get different behavior between IE and Mozilla.
Say for ex I have 2 buttons on my webpage. Button-1 and Button-2
In mozilla browser, when I click Button-1 then it process the click request of Button-1, while it is processing the request, immediately if I Click on button-2, browser will not proceed request for Button-2.
In IE browser, after clicking Button-1 If I immediately click Button-2 then it will first process request of Button-1 and then it will process request for Button-2.
Why there is different behavior for both browser for same web page?
PS. IE 8 and Mozilla 3
Thats's life
Browser differences are one of the biggest hurdles in modern web development. You're best bet is to paste the code to let users take a look.
I need to open a webpage from a BlackBerry application. I don't want to use a hyperlink so that users have to navigate to the blackberry browser application.
So, I basically need a full screen where the content of that particular page can be loaded just like a browser.
Is weblinks the answer to what I need or do I need to just invoke a browser session?
Thanks!
For BlackBerry applications you can use
BrowserSession session = Browser.getDefaultSession();
session.displayPage(url);
It will automatically open the browser with the given url. It's basically invoking the browser in your application context, so pressing the back button will take the user back to your application.
