redirect using a new window

[leone]

Hi,
there is a way to redirect to a new page simulating <A ....,
target='new'> using URL()
or a controller function???
Thanks
leone

do you mean like this?

{{=A('click me!', _href=URL(...), _target='new')}}

<a href="{{=URL(...)}}" target="new">click me</a>

Thanks for suggest, but I need something redirect(URL(..),
_target='new').
I fear that it doesn't exists, though web2py does anything.

[mdipierro]

I do not understand what you want to do.

[leone]

I need to redirect to a new page (for example as a new tab in
chrome....).

[mr.freeze]

Like so?:
A('Open in new window',_href=URL('...'),_target='_blank')

[mr.freeze]

Or do you mean use some javascript in the response to open a new
window?

[leone]

The first:

A('Open in new window',_href=URL('...'),_target='_blank')

.....but using redirection. There is a way?

[mr.freeze]

I don't think you would use redirect as you're not redirecting the
page but opening a new one. Something like this maybe?:

controller
----------
def index():
form = SQLFORM(...)
if form.accepts(request.vars,session):
response.new_window = URL(...)
return dict(form=form)

view
----
{{if response.new_window:}}
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
window.open({{=response.new_window}});
});
</script>
{{pass}}

If your talking about the HTTP redirect there is no such mechanism in
it. It's just a simple 303 response which informs your browser to
fetch the content of a page from a different URL. If you want to open
a new panel/window with URL_2 after visiting URL_1 that has to be done
with javascript.

Why do you want to do that anyway? Opening new panel/window is plain
evil (especially if done with javascript). This should be controlled
by the user, not the webapp developer who thinks he knows better what
the users want. Give a normal link and let the users decide how they
want to open it.

I still do not understand what you want to do. Perhaps you can explain
what problem are you trying to solve.

Whoops, forgot the quotes:
window.open('{{=response.new_window}}');

Thanks.
I understand. I will use javascript with response var.

I wouldn't rely on this behavior as almost all browsers will block it
by default. It is acceptable if it is for an intranet app where you
control the environment (i.e. can turn off the pop-up blocker for your
domain through group policy, etc).

Better solution would be to trigger a dialog after response. That will
work in most browsers in most environments.

Hi,
why doesn't run the simplest solution:
response.headers['Window-target']='_blank' (or _top,..or a window-name
of a page)
response.headers['Location']=url
raise HTTP(303,**response.headers)
????

AFAIK you cannot do it server side, there is no such header in
HTTP/1.1 standard, and a browsers do not support it

Use javascript or try to respond with a document with meta redirect:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;URL=http://blah.blah" target="_blank" />
