Openspan 7.1 - How to tab on a web browser
Hello,
Does anyone know how to create an automation that will close an open tab in Internet Explorer?
I have a website that generates reports, but it does this in a new tab which my automation then cannot see. If I could focus this new tab, or close the old one, either would work for me.
Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
I can see that this is a very old post. My requirement is to open multiple webpages in a single window, although the pages will be from different web adapters. Can this be done now? Has there been any development on this from Pega side?
I have tried but didn't find any specfic metod to close the Tab. I have some workaround may be that can help.
1. In Introgation mode go to "List Browser".
2. Find your Current Open IE window there.
3. Right click on it and create Control.
4. With newly created control , use Send Keys Method.
- To switch the tab use : ( ^+{Tab} )
- To close current tab use : (^+w).
I tried and is working as per above steps but use ^W command for send keys.

Hi Ryan,
Unfortuantely, OpenSpan does not support multi-tab functionality for browsers. You will need to have the report open in a new window to successfully automate the report. I would suggest to use the navigate method with two parameters. The first parameter is where the link to the report should be provided, the second paramenter allows you to set true or false. True allows the navigated page to be opened in a new window, while false opens the page with its default behavior.
