Open link in new window

Asked by Steve Lee

Hi :-)

In my scheduler I've added in a new menu item from the right click menu:

{text: "Job Card", onClick: args => location.href = args.source.data.Filelocation},

It works, opening a job card for the scheduled item. However, I need it to open in a new browser tab, or in a popup window. I've tried a million and one combinations of window.open but cannot get this to work. Can you help?

Thank you.

The `window.open()` function is the correct approach:

{text: "Job Card", onClick: args => window.open(args.source.data.Filelocation, '_blank')},

But if the browser is set to block popup windows it will not open.

Another option would be to use DayPilot.Modal which wouldn't open it in a new tab/window but in a modal dialog in the same page. It can display a special page (in an iframe) using showUrl() method:
