Vijo Redirect to a specific browser tab (chrome,firefox etc)
Hi All,
I am launching a VF page, from a button, in a detail page. I have opened this in a tab in a browser (chrome for instance.)
Is there a way to redirect my page to a specific tab in the browser , when a user clicks on the cancel button? or to the same browser for that matter?
I have tried a pageReference to /{!id}, but it just opens the record in the current window, and without the browser's menus etc all.
PS: I did search the community..but considering the volume.. needless to say..I lost track couple of times..
hence would appreciate any response on this.
Thank you

for cancel you no need to write any pagereference but in case if you want to over ride it do is as follows
if u donot want to change the existing functionality
<apex:commandbutton action="cancel" value="cancel">
if u want to override the existing functionality
<apex:commandbutton action="{!cancelmethod}" value="cancel" immediate="true"/>
In the class
public pageReference cancelMethod(){
pageReference pageRef = pageReference("/tab URL") for example www.salesforce.com/003/oo1 copy bolded part of your tab
pageRef .setRedirect(true);
retrurn pageref;
}

<apex:commandbutton value="window.open("/{!Id}"); name="cancel">
Itthis answers your question please make this as sioltuiton.
it opens in a new window for opening in a new tab
<apex:commandbutton value="window.open("/{!Id}" , _blank); name="cancel">
this is for a browser tab.
Hi Suree, thank you for responding.. I tried it,. It routes back to the browser, and opens a new tab in it!!!
The second solution opens a new browser window... both were good to know for me.
My actual need was to see that the user lands back to the same tab in browser from where he/she has actually launched the vf page. Do you know of any as such 'command' in visualforce?
