UI Action to Open UI Page in New Window not working

[Nic Omaha]

Hello! 

I have a UI Page called u_print_move_list which I can hit preview on and works great. 

When I create a UI Action on a table to open up the UI Page nothing happens. I can see nothing different about this UI action from others that are working fine. Any ideas?

You can use below code in UI action to open UI page.

e.g . I have a ui page named testdriftinformation

here is the code below to get the ui action to load that page in the main window.

sendToNorChange();

function sendToNorChange()

{

//make the url to a new normal change

  var url = 'testdriftinformation.do';

//Redirecting the user to the new url

  action.setRedirectURL(url);

}

Regards,

Sachin

Since the other reply didn't answer the question:

Instead of `window.open` you need to remember you are in an iframe and you should use:

`top.window.open`

`top` gives you a reference to the parent frame which has all the global JS Objects.
