showURL

Classic Servoy
1

hi all,

I have a showURL script that gets activated when a new datapoint is added. On Developer, each time the script gets triggered, the URL will refresh in the same IE window. However, on the client computers, URL gets loaded into a NEW window all the time. Has anyone else encountered this issue? any ideas on how to fix it?

thanks.

This issue is web browser related.
Check your preferences in IE to make sure it opens new URLs in the same window.

that’s what i thought at first, except when i use developer, i do not get this issue, but when i deploy it out to the clients. all my clients computers open multiple window. We all have the same windows 2000, IE 5.5 setup.

hmmmm…

And what happens when you run the client on your machine ?

when I run on my client machine. Rather than refreshing the URL in the same IE window, it opens a brand new window each time. It doesn’t do that in developer edition.

This is the same machine where you run Developer on ?
That is odd.

This is one for the servoyans.

yes same machine. This is what’s starting to fustrate me about Servoy. My solution seems to work perfectly fine in developer, then when i test it out on a client machine, the behavior is completely different! I don’t get it. What am i doing wrong?

okay, this is definitely a bug. I’ll post it on the bugs forum as well.

All i used is a simple open URL command using a button:

application.showURL(‘http://www.yahoo.com’)

On my developer, it will refresh the link in the SAME window. On my client, it would open new window each and every time. Both are running Internet explorer 5.5. Any workarounds? it’s loading a javascript webpage. Anyone know of any Javascript HTML code that will force IE to open URL in the same window?
