Application.OpenURL in the Webplayer

Is there a way to link to a different URL while in the web player.

When calling Application.OpenURL() from the webplayer it replaces the webplayers URL with the one I'm trying to link too.

Example:
If my weblayer existed here http://www.mywebplayer.com/woot, and while running the webplayer I have a button that links to http://www.mynewlink.com. If I click that link button the webplayer would stop playing and my browser would now be linked to http://www.mynewlink.com.

This of course works correctly in a stand alone app. But does not work correctly in the webplayer.

Any way around this?

 

It works exactly as intended, you should probably say what you want to achieve. If you want to open the url into another window/tab then you have to create a JS function in your HTML page to call with Application.ExternalCall which accept url as parameter and use window.open (could happen that the browser blocks popup, in that case you have to use a workaround like a HTML form with target _blank or simulate a link click e.g. with jQuery)

 

Thank you for responding.

I understand that it does function correctly, I was looking for a work around for the webplayer. I have done exactly as you said, and now am able to accomplish what I desired.

Thanks again!

 

I have a code snippet here along the lines of what ZioRed suggests - http://www.fugutalk.com/?p=4096 - I think I was told that it doesn't work on every browser, but I don't remember which ones are problematic.

 

the problem is the popup blocker

 

I am working on a hughe project for a client and also need to open an url in a new tab:

Right- Checco Esimple - the problem is the popupblocker.

Still, is there any solution for that popup-problem?

 

Hello,

Did you found a solution with the popup blocker in the web version?
