Force form to open in new window

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I’m sure there’s an easy solution for this but I’ve not been able to come up with one:

I’m creating my first Domino application and currently have a frameset with a view contained in the right frame. The view contains documents of more than one type of form. I’d like documents with form A to open in a new window, and documents with form B to open within the current frame. Is there any easy way to do this? Is there a way to programmatically modify the links that are displayed in the view so that the target attribute of the anchor tag can be modified? Thanks for any suggestions.

Is this web or notes?

If its web you can either set the target in the link eg:

“<href='0/” + @Text(@DocumentUniqueID) + “?openDocument’ " + @If(form = “a”;“target=_new”;”") + “>formLink”

or just do it in javascript with either a window.open for new or a document.all.frameName.src =

Hi Scott,

Here is my suggestion, in the Queryopendocument event in your view, use set = source.documents then do set = .GetFirstDocument. After that, check the form name of the selected document. If lets say its Form A (which needs to open in a new window) then do .editdocument then set the “new instance” parameter to true. If its Form B then access the frame where you want the form to be displayed (sorry i dont know the code for this one). Hope this helps :slight_smile:
