Opening URL as a separate web tab

Question

Dear all,

I have the following code for opening a URL.

api_application.run(in_weblink_tx => 'http://www.google.com', in_browserwindowname_tx => '_top');

It is opening the webpage in the same application tab from where I am invoking this command. What is required is to open this web page as a new tab page in the browser.

Kindly help.

Regards,

George

Hi George,

To open a web page as a new browser tab, you should set the value of the in_browserwindowname_tx to '_blank'.

api_application.run(in_weblink_tx => 'http://www.google.com', in_browserwindowname_tx => '_blank');

Regards,
Ibrahim

Hi Ibrahim,

Thank you. This opens the browser in a new window. What is desirable is to open in a new tab page in the same browser where the formspider application is sitting.

Also kindly suggest me as to how I can give a title to the newly opened tabpage/window.

I require this basically for opening jasper server reports. Opening many browsers for different report is not practical; tabpage is the best option.

If I can get my jasper report running using this method I do not have to depend on the formspider jasper reports which has limitations of versions, output etc.

I am using chrome browser.

Thank you.

Hi Andrew,

I have tested it today with firefox and chrome. In firefox it opens in a new tab in the same browser but in chrome it opens a separate browser window and runs the application there.

Hi George,

Please make sure that the "Allow Popups" checkBox is checked for the Formspider action in which you are making the api_application.run API call. You can find this checkBox on the action edit dialog.

Best,
Ibrahim
