Hello,

I am trying to create a tile within the sitemap that when clicked will open a custom URL in a new tab or new window (it does not matter which). I currently have the below in my sitemap, but am not getting a new tab/window, just a loading screen. I saw some posts about using window.open, but this is not working for me.

Mike - did you ever find a solution. I too need to access an external url from the site map in a new browser window or tab. Is this possible?

Regards,

Diane

What about adding HTML web source to call your external link:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>



<meta http-equiv="refresh"

content="0; url=http://www.mydomain.com/">

</head>

<body>

<p>The page has moved to:

<a href="http://www.mydomain.com/">this page</a></p>

</body>

</html>

Then call it as below:

<SubArea Id="TestHelpSite" Url="$webresource:new_/CallExternalLink.htm" AvailableOffline="false" PassParams="false" >

</SubArea>

CRM web resource opens in new window :)

Hi Mike,

You can call the HTML web resource through the site map. The below example shows this on button click. You can try to call on html body load itself.

Raz - for me your suggestion worked with just a bit of tweaking. Putting my code here for history's use.

<html><head> <title></title> <meta charset="utf-8"></head> <body> <script type="text/javascript"> function GoGoogle() { window.open("http://www.google.com","_blank"); } window.onload=GoGoogle(); </script> </body>

Thank you so much for the guidance - Mike give it a try it worked for me.

We get a “This content cannot be displayed in a frame” .

If we click on the "Open this Content in a new window" is works.

Can I change my IE settings to allow this?
