Hi!
I'm looking for a way to open all links from the current document in new background windows.
Is there already a macro for that or can anyone please help out in creating one?
Thank you!

Idea: no., Lack of skills to make it possible: yes.
I really like the idea, so I'm also realy interested to hear from anyone who is more custom with creating macros.

Still no one?
Is it at all possible to open several windows from a macro?

I took a look at the request when you first posted it. There's a bookmarklet for opening all in foreground, but haven't found for opening in background. As you know, most bookmarklets can be converted to macros. But, without jscript there's no macro command AFAIK that can detect all links in a page. I only know of $LINKURL which gets the URL of the selected link.

Thank you for looking into it and your reply!
Foreground would be a start I think. At least it is much better than nothing at all. :-)
It would be cool if you could post the code or link(s). Perhaps I'll eventually find the time to look into macros. Maybe there's the possibility to combine already existent code with new stuff. I just hope there'll be a way to get that one done.

The following worked for opening links in the foreground when I tried it just now. Reference it in Accelerators or Menus with
macros(OpenAllLinks)
OpenAllLinks{
getpref(BOOL, $popups) == "true" ? &PB2 : &AllLinks;
}
PB2{
&PBToggle; &AllLinks; &PBToggle;
}
AllLinks{
$macro = "OpenAll"; &JSEnable;
}
OpenAll{
open("javascript
function(){var n_to_open,dl,dll,i; function linkIsSafe(u) { if (u.substr(0,7)=='
mailto:') return false; if (u.substr(0,11)=='javascript:') return false; return true; } n_to_open = 0; dl = document.links; dll = dl.length; for(i = 0; i < dll; ++i) { if (linkIsSafe(dl
.href)) ++n_to_open; } if (!n_to_open) alert ('no links'); else { if (confirm('Open ' + n_to_open + ' links in new windows?')) for (i = 0; i < dll; ++i) if (linkIsSafe(dl.href)) window.open(dl.href); } })();");
}

I've posted it into the wiki
sandbox for now so you can copy & paste.

Hi ra!
Angus Turnbull published an
'Open in Background' Powertoy (5 August 2001)
jscript for IE context menu extension.
-------------- source:
var parentwin = external.menuArguments;
var cwn = parentwin.open('about:blank', '_blank', 'menubar=1,toolbar=1,location=1,scrollbars=1,resizable=1,status=1');
parentwin.focus();
cwn.blur();
cwn.location.href = parentwin.event.srcElement.href;
cwn.blur();
-----------------
The idea is to change the focus of the just opened new window by means of the
js blur() function and re-establish the focus on the originating window.
It works well for one new window at a time, maybe opening multiple windows will confuse the browser.
For use with k-meleon you would have to translate it into javascript.
try your luck

Thank you very much for your answer, profiler! I will try to solve that one as soon as I find the time (might take some time...), although I don't know much about macros or javascript.

I tried your macros but it doesn't work here. Any trick?

The forum broke the JS code. I've put it in the
Macros Library.

Okay, I'm still using the macro that jsnj posted, but noticed a problem:
It doesn't open more than 20 windows, no matter how many links are on the page, although I the prompt shows the correct amount of links.
Has anyone an idea what needs to be changed?

You have to set a higher value for pref "dom.popup_maximum", it defaults to 20.
