We have a reason for our production system that we disable the toolbar so that the users can’t use the back button for some applications. My application starts up from the same menu so the back button isn’t an option. What I want is for the column link to open the pdf in a new window and can’t figure that out.

Thanks,
Mike

Why doesn’t it work the same once deployed as it does when running it from the development environment?

I have a report with a link that opens a PDF. In IE in development it opens the PDF with a full tool bar so I can use the back button and go back to my list to select another PDF. Once the app is deployed the window that’s opened does not have the back button and if I close the list it goes back to Portal page where I have to launch the application express app to bring the list back up.

In the target URL Target box type in
javascript:popupURL(‘url’)

for example:
javascript:popupURL(‘http://www.google.com‘)

Good Luck.

Hi, none of the above solutions are working at our installation.

I always get following error:
ERR-1777: Page 200 provided no page to branch to.

Is there any configuration problem?

Got the same problem as Michelle. Wayne’s solution did the trick for me, but instead of overloading the redirect function (which will cause all redirects on the page to open a the new window), I created my own new function in the page’s HTML header:

function showhelp(url)
{
window.open (url, ‘Help’,status=1,toolbar=1, width=400,height=300);
}

I then called the function from the button’s URL target:

javascript:showhelp(‘http://www.google.com‘);

Just overload the redirect javascript in the pages header

For example:

function redirect(url)
{
window.open (url, “newWindow”,”status=1,toolbar=1, width=400,height=300″);
}

Hello all,

I have a column link with an url like this:
http://url/#MYCOLUMN#” target=”_blank – it works!

but when i replace it with:
javascript:html_PopUp(’http://url/#MYCOLUMN#’, ‘windowName’, 800, 600);

NOTHING happens when I click on it!

What’s wrong?

If you are having errors on your opener page you may want to look at this info: http://jennifermadden.com/javascript/window1.html

Specifically the section titled “The [object] oops”. I used the target on my button as “javascript: window.open(‘http://my_url.com','_blank‘);” and kept getting the [object] text on my opener page – oops!

I was not able to get the example Patrick shows to work – I also got the same problem Michelle posted. Using the info from the web site I listed took care of that: “javascript: void window.open(‘http://my_url.com','_blank‘);”
