Opening new links in a web application.
I have a technical question….
I have an application written for the web. I want to set up functionality to open up a new web page (in a separate tab or window) within the code, but I have not yet figured out how to do that.
The closest I have found is to create a label, set the ‘textishtml’ property, include the html anchor/href references, and have the user click on it, but I would prefer if the code would just ‘jump/open up’ to the web page without any sort of user interaction.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Allan,
I suppose you are talking about an Omnis JS application?
You have several options:
1. Do $cinst.$showurl(‘http://someURL’) .. will open a new browser instance (or tab) and point to the given URL. This only makes sense if you want to refer to a URL outside of the current Omnis app.
2. Do $cinst.$clientcommand(“subformdialogshow”,row(jsNextForm,300,600)). .. this will open a dialog window inside the current Omnis remote task instance and you can communicate between the main form and the subform by using $cinst.$container, i.e.
Do $cinst.$container().$getID() .. will call the $getID from the main form
3. You can use a main form that has a subform field. This can than be used to switch between several other remote forms assigning the $classname of the subform field.
I hope this helps.
Best,
Andreas
