Re: Popup New Window with CommandLink onclick attribute
Thanks Tim.
I am glad to be of help.
I agree, a wiki entry would be good.
btw TR also stands for Turkey :P

Hey Tim,Actually that's all for passing parameters via URL
between jsf pages. I commented your post below. Hope this
helps.

Popup New Window with CommandLink onclick attribute
Title: Popup New Window with CommandLink onclick attribute
What I would like to do:
I am trying to popup a new window each time a cell in my datatable is clicked. I fail when attempting to bind (set) a value before the window is opened; it's the standard master/detail scenario discussed here several times in the past. The only difference is trying to popup the window.
Problem:
I am able to popup a window by calling some _javascript_ via the onclick attribute of the commandLink. I have tried using updateActionListener to set the value of the current cell's value as is normally used to set a value befor executing an action. However, because I am using the onclick attribute to open a new window, the window seems to be rendered before the updateActionListener actually sets the value. Since the target attribute doesn't work, I can't do something like 'target="this.form._blank". I am using Apache Beehive for my pageflow controller, and am attempting to set a value in my controller class; the idea is that when the popup page is created, the new page's backing bean can grab the value I previously set in the controller via the commandLink.
I'm new to webapp development and jumped into JSF/Beehive headfirst, so my misunderstanding of _javascript_ may be the culprit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here's a sample of the code:
Header Name
value="#dbRow.cellValue}">
_javascript_ (currently in same page for trying this):
</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Function myJavaScript(cellValue){</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> popup = window.open("<A rel="nofollow" href="http://localhost:8080/XYZ/controller/goNewPage.do">http://localhost:8080/XYZ/controller/goNewPage.do</A>", </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> "page name", "height=300,width=300,resizable=1,toolbar=no,menubar=no");</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> popup.focus();</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">}</FONT>
