PermaLink $$Return Open in New Window06/10/2008 10:26 AM

Hello all,

I have a $$Return field on a form that redirects user's to different web sites, depending on their choices.  This works just fine.  My question is, is it possible to have the URL's open in a new window?  Currently, they just open in the current window and I would like my page to stay open in their browser when they go to a different URL.

My code looks like this:

I have a field called "FieldRedirect" that is hidden.  Depending on what the user clicks on, I use JavaScript to change the value of this field to 1, 2, 3, etc.  Then in my $$Return field, I have this:

redirect := @GetField("FieldRedirect");

@If(redirect="1"; "[http://www.someurl1.com]";redirect="2"; "[http://www.someurl2.com]"........etc.

Again, this works just fine, I would just like the url's to open in a new window.  Does anyone have any ideas?  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you!

Stephen

How about adding TARGET = "_blank" ?

Hi Curt,
First, thanks for taking the time to respond!
That was the first thing that I tried, but it doesn't work. I you use the quotation marks, it is bad syntax and if you don't there is no effect. Unless you have a different method than what I am using.

I tried this in the $$Return of the Discussion Template. Here's the bottom piece of code and it worked for me. (famous last words)
Try the slash (\) in front of the quotes.

TopicView := "<a href=/" + DB + "/($All)?OpenView&target=_blank>" + AllDoc + "</a>&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp ";
CategoryView := "<a href=/" + DB + "/by+Category?OpenView>" + ByCat + "</a>&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp ";
AuthorView := "<a href=/" + DB + "/AuthorView?OpenView>" + ByAuth + "</a>&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp";
AltNameView := "<a href=/" + DB + "/by+Alternate+Name?OpenView>" + ByAltName + "</a><hr>&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp ";

testView := "<a href = http://www.google.com TARGET=\"_blank\">Google</a>";


bkgd := "<body bgcolor=\"" + "#ffffff" + "\"+ >";

REM {Assemble the HTML to be returned};
OkMsg := bkgd + Thanks + existingdoclink+TopicView + CategoryView + AuthorView + AltnameView + DateView+testView;
OKMsg
