Opening New Window

Featured Replies

When I edit a record to a FM database record via IWP, when I click the Submit button it opens a new browser window. Can this be fixed? Is it a setting in my browser? I am running IE 5.5. Thanks in advance.

Do you have a target set in the opening form tag??

If you do you could remove it if the target doesn't exist (can cause a new window) or if it is target="_blank".

Alternatively you could add target="_parent" to your opening form tag if you don't use frames or target="_self" if you do....both should have the same effect and fix your problem

scratch... this person's using iwp. So far as I know iwp generates html on the fly as needed. iwp is, as we all know, wysiwyg. I don't think editing of format files is possible. Control is one of the big reasons to go custom. wink.gif

oooops ...... that will teach me to read the post properly first smile.gif .... my apologies

....go custom ... .as Keith says it is the only way to have control over your solution and it doesn't have to get to complicated

The "normal" happening using IWP when one clicks the Submit button is that the "new" data goes to the database and processes. Upon completion of that, a browser window refresh occurs but not a new window.

Suggestion: Go into Preferences>Application, choose the WebCompanion plugin, click "Configure" and turn on the access and error log files. After one your new page events occurs, look at these files. The access log records every little event and may possibly give us a clue to what is happening. It is likely that you will have nothing in the error file -- but one never knows. Good luck.
