I have a button created that opens an IP address contained in a field. While viewing this information in WC, is it possible to ask that this script step opens in a seperate browser session? I have clients router IP address's contained in the field and it provides a 'wherever you are' db of information and ease of use to configure router settings.

Thanks

I don;t think this is a script step that IWP supports. However, it's also a bit redudnant since you're already in a web browser! (That script step is intended to open a URL fom within the FMP client.)

This could be an instance where you have hit a limitation of Instant Web Publishing... the way to do it in custom is to simply format the field comtects as a url.

Don't know of a solution to the new window issue. I have been using the Open URL command in IWC on FMPro5.5 with mixed success (works on some dbases and not on others for no reasons), e.g. using a URL field which is a combination of a URL I have pasted in from a browser and a record ID to allow me to go back to a related master record and a specific layout. - Ubo

Played with this one a LOT with instant web publishing. There is only one way I found to do it, although it is a bit odd. In instant if you are using the go to URL, point that url to a dummy blank html file. Have two scripts in the blank dummy html file. The first script will open a new window with whatever attributes you want, and with whatever URL you want. The second script is a navigation history -1, which will return the original window to its original page.

In short, when you click on the go to url button from your instant web publishing page in your browser, a new window opens with your desired location, and the first window will still have the instant web publishing page open.
