Cannot access window object from UI builder Page scripts

[murtuzababuji]

Hello all,

I have a scoped application and I have developed a page using UI builder. On a button click I need to download a file from Attachments. I have added a event handler to a Page script to fetch attachment sysid. Now I just need to use window.open to download the file using the '/sys_attachment.do?sys_id=someid' URL. Issue is that window is undefined in the UI builder page scripts. I even tried setting the glide.script.block.client.globals as per this KB0551586 to no avail. What am I missing? Is there an alternative to using window.open?

Hi murtuzababuji,

I've been able to use the solution in this community post: https://www.servicenow.com/community/developer-forum/is-it-possible-to-get-dom-element-via-client-sc... in order to access the window object in page scripts.

Hope this helps!
