Open URL in new window using JavaScript

[_James_J_Gallag]

Hi Guys,



Hopefully someone can help me with this.

By clicking a button I would like IE or whatever the default browser is to be launched with a specific URL.



I have tried using: xfa.host.gotoURL("http://www.google.com");

but obviously this opens within the window I'm working in. Close but not close enough.



Thanks in advance!

I believe you can add another boolean parameter that tells whether to start a new browser or not......or you can use this command:



app.launchURL("address", true);

Paul,



That worked like a dream, thanks.

Paul,



When I do a Preview PDF when designing the form and click the button then a new window with my URL opens but when I preview the Form Guide and press the button it does nothing. I've double checked that the language I'm using in Javascript.



Any help is much appreciated

That command will not work form a guide. It is not supported....only in a PDF.

Ok thanks Paul.



Do you know of any way to launch a new window from the Form Guide??



Thanks,

Not without modifying the guide style ...certainly Flex can do it but that fuctionality has not been exposed in our guide styles.
