Inline Link Issue after migrating from V7.6 to V8.1 in IE8

Jack_Ji

Hi, 

   After migrating from V7.6 to V8.1, the inline links in ephox previously created in V7.6 are not working as expected in IE8, the problem is "On display view, after user clicking on the link, the popup window and the parent page will both go to the linked page". While it's fine in IE9 and FF, Chrome. And if we directly create an inline link in V8.1 WEM, it's fine and not has such kind of issue in IE8.

My question is, is there a way to easily handle this issue? In case user don't want manully change all the inline links and if we also don't want to make it by database data updating. 

   

V7.6 style link(has issue on V8.1 platform in IE8):

<a onclick="window.open('/vgn-ext-templating/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=45189d7553ef33109d7553ef33103d48090aRCRD','popup', 'width=800,height=600,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes'); return false;" href="/vgn-ext-templating/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=45189d7553ef33109d7553ef33103d48090aRCRD">Click here</a>

 

V8.1 style link(work fine):

<a href="#" onclick="window.open('vgn_ext_templ_rewrite?vgnextoid=45189d7553ef33109d7553ef33103d48090aRCRD&#38;vgnextcurrentsitefirstchannel=1/vgn_ext_templ_rewrite','popup','height=600,width=800'); return false;">Click here</a>

I don't understand your point.

First of all, you are supposed to migrate all existing links into the new format, as explained in the upgrade guide. This means that if a link such as

 

<a onclick="window.open('/vgn-ext-templating/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=45189d7553ef33109d7553ef33103d48090aRCRD','popup', 'width=800,height=600,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes'); return false;" href="/vgn-ext-templating/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=45189d7553ef33109d7553ef33103d48090aRCRD">Click here</a>

doesn't work (and, what do you mean by doesn't work, that's not clear), we really don't care, since such a link is not supported in the ELJ widget. We support, within the widget, links having format

<a href="#" onclick="window.open('vgn_ext_templ_rewrite?vgnextoid=45189d7553ef33109d7553ef33103d48090aRCRD&#38;vgnextcurrentsitefirstchannel=1/vgn_ext_templ_rewrite','popup','height=600,width=800'); return false;">Click here</a>

which get translated into actual HTML by the ETLDeliveryTranslator class from within the display view code.

Please let us understand better what your problem is and please consider to dismiss IE8 once for all.
