I was searching the internet but didn't find anything on this topic,
however, I cannot imagine that no one ever tried to do s.th. similar.
I have to call an external URL from my application and I'd like to
call it by clicking on a WOSubmitButton (reason: consistency of
design b/c I already have other two submit buttons). How would I do
that? Do I have to use java script, or is there an obvious and easy
WebObjects solution for the problem?
in another thread Galon (thanx) gave a very similar example that I've
been using to solve my own problem. My solution looks like:
<wo:AjaxSubmitButton
value="$localizer.ShopLookAndFeelEditPage.PREVIEW"
onClick="newWindowScript()"/>
<script>
function newWindowScript() {
newWindow = window.open('<wo:string value="$previewURL" />',
'newWindow');
newWindow.focus();
}
</script>
Where $previewURL is a method in my java file returning a String
containing the correct URL. Now, this almost seems to solve my problem
b/c now I have the problem of the characters b/c the & will be
interpreted and replaced as & in the URL. This is quite bad b/c my
URL happens to be a DirectAction URL.
Do you have a solution for that problem? Any hints, tipps, or
suggestions will be appreciated :)
Thanx,
Edgar
