Hi all,
   is it possible to invoke/show defined embedded tab or another HTML page not defined in any embedded tab through XMPP, SOAP, REST, etc? Or even using javascript from inside the webpage defined in embedded tab? It will be great if the method blink jabber window when it is minimized or not focused in OS.

I am looking for something similar as 'CiscoIPPhoneExecute' on deskphones.

Hi Miroslav,
I don't think you can get the windows focus back from embedded html. But, I think you can write some services type of server site app to control the Deskphone that way.
 
Thanks,
Howard

Thanks for replay. But I'm writting an application for environments without deskphones.
However I found out that there is an option how invoke IE popup window using javascript from inside an embedded tab. I hope that Jabber develepers do not disable this 'functionallity' emoticon

Hi Miroslav,
Just curious, what "option to invoke IE popup" are you talking about ? Do you mean calling "window.open(url)" from the embedded tab, or a more IE-specifc solution ?
I think other Jabber tabs could benefit from this kind of feature.
Thanks for sharing, Thomas

Hi Thomas,
  Exactly as you said. This code invokes new IE (Jabber for Windows uses IE for rendering embedded tabs) window, even if the Jabber is minimized.
myWindow = window.open('', '', 'width=200,height=100');
myWindow.document.write("<p>This is 'myWindow'</p>");
myWindow.focus();
