Open a Form in a New Window

[jaffleck]

Is it possible to force a form to open in a new window, either using goto form or via a hyperlink?


Thanks.

Add target="_blank" (with no spaces) to a Hyperlink Control using Html Element Properties. I think this will open the new form in either a new tab or a new window depending on the browser and its settings. I'm not sure if you can force a new window with all browsers. You can't do this with goto form.

If you want a popup instead, best to use a jQuery dialog.

Thanks for the pointer.

I apologize if this seems like an obvious question - but I'm new to ebase and am not familiar with many parts of it - how does one specify the form to open in the hyperlink URL?

Also, is there a good tutorial on how to use a jQuery dialog? I've been looking but have not found one.....

Thanks.

On the Hyperlink Control, set the Link is external flag then set the External URL to ufsmain?formid=NEWFORMNAME.

If you want to do this dynamically it will be something like:
controls.HYPERLINK1.href = "ufsmain?formid=NEWFORMNAME";

There is a tutorial that introduces jQuery in the standard docs: Tutorials > Create Rich Clients Using jQuery. Also see the sample apps section of this forum http://forum.ebasetech.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=13.
