Scoped Application: How to open URLs in a new tab/window?

jivanjotkaur · ‎02-02-2016

I am trying to open a URL in a new tab/window in the client script of a UI action. Due to it being a scoped application, window.open(url) does not work. What alternative is there for window.open in a scoped app?

Found that there is an API called g_navigation through which we can perform some DOm related tasks, e.g. reloading the page, opening a popup etc. I couldnt find the documentation for this API though.

For my requirement, i used the following code in my client script:

g_navigation.openPopup(url);

Hi Jivan,

I do not know if there any such apis available Out of the Box to achieve window.open functionality.

I wanted to only mention, there is a way you can opt out this restriction for the scoped app if there is an absolute reason.

You need to create below property to set its value to false.

[scope-name].glide.script.block.client.globals=false

Thanks

Hi Srini,

I created the property and it worked like a charm. However, since accessing DOM is forbidden by default by platform, i am going to look for other ways and will keep this as last resort if i am unable to find any other alternative.

Appreciate the quick response, thanks!
