Open a Web Page in a new Window

Posted on by Tom Thompson

Hello All,

I have a requirement to open a Web Page in a new Window.

I have an Portal Entity Form which display a Dynamics Entity Form. On the Dynamics form there are several sub-grids. So I have added an Entity Metadata record for each sub-grid.

On one sub-grid in particular, we need to open the details of the related record in a new pop-up web page, leaving the original page.

Is this possible, and if so, any suggestions on how to implement?

Thank you

Tom

Hi Tom,

Under the metadata >> subgrid configuration, You could try 'Target Type' as 'Entity Form' instead of Web page. tHis will open the edit page as popup.

Hope this helps.

Hi Ravi, thank you for the comment.

I should have mentioned in my original post that this is how we originally configured the sub-grid. So it was related entity record was opening the edit page as a popup. However, the requirement has changed in that the users would like to see the edit page in a new browser window with its own navigation.

So ideally, we would like the related entity record to open it an independent web page so that users could view both records side by side.

Thank you

Tom

Hi Tom,

I think you'll need a bit of custom jQuery that adds the target="_blank" attribute to the links, along with the "Webpage" option.

Here some jQuery to get you started:

(function ($) {

$(document).ready(function() {

$('.entity-grid').on("loaded", function () {

$("td[data-attribute='ticketnumber']").each(function() {

$(this).find('a').attr("target", "_blank");

});

});

});

}(jQuery));

Hello,

You can get help from below link.

msdn.microsoft.com/.../jj602956.aspx;MSPPError=-2147217396

Also you can write unsupported way -make sure this was not recommended by Microsoft.

function (url, title) {

var w = screen.width - 75;

var h = screen.height - 200;

var left = (screen.width / 2) - (w / 2);

var top = (screen.height / 2) - (h / 2);

var newWindow = window.open(url, title, 'toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=yes, copyhistory=no, width=' + w + ', height=' + h + ', top=' + top + ', left=' + left);

if (window.focus) {

newWindow.focus();

}
