Hi Rob, Yeah, the gadget needs to open up some links in a new tab, but before that a signed request must be made in order to set a flag on the application server.
The way I was doing it was to simply call a "window.open" on the callback for osapi.http.get, but window.open gets blocked by popup blockers and this is a no-no for our the kind of users we are aiming for. I then thought on putting the link to open in the href of the <a> and an onclick event that would call this signed request and return true ONLY after the request has finished -- because the page opened by this link needs this flag to be set BEFORE being rendered (or it won't render at all). It is kind of working, but sometimes the pages won't render (flag not set), so I wanted to make sure that the function would only return after the ajax request was completed. I'll try to solve it using a while loop, let's see how it goes. Thanks, Marcelo.
