Dealing with Pop-Up Blocker and Browser Refresh

[davis]

Hi, part of the app I built with GWT has links to download PDF from
the server. I basically just pull the pdf content from the server and
do Window.open( .. ).

The first time you do this, the pop-up blocker takes over and blocks
it. If you enable it, the browser reloads the page, which takes the
user back to the login page -- which can be a real UI annoyance.

This is perhaps more a problem with me not dealing with Refresh/
History correctly. I have implemented rudimentary history that has
only two tokens (login/homepage). The homepage is the entire app and
all navigation is with tabs, etc...but if the user does F5/Refresh, it
takes them back to the login page.

What is the recommended path for solving this?

Davis

Serve the document into a frame?

OTOH, you might also instruct your users to whitelist your site.

You could also create an external link using the HTML widget :

HTML linkToPdf = new HTML("<a href=\"prout.pdf\"
target=\"_blank\">PDF</a>");

Er, you meant using the Anchor widget, weren't you? ;-)

Anchor linkToPdf = new Anchor("PDF", "prout.pdf", "_blank");

Exactly :)
