I have a requirement to build a tool whereby users are able to click on links from within a frames based site and are then taken to DCT's using Teamsite URL Commands. Ive used URL commands extensively before without issues, but the issue I am having is with the URL command href targets that are needed to display the DCT outside the frameset. It seems that when URL commands are launched using something like so:
<a href='
http://server/iw-cc/edit?vpath=/path/to/my/dcr.xml' target="_blank">Edit using target</a>
even when not being used within a frames based environment, that somehow FormsPublisher internals get confused. I assume this may be because the target window name has been "over-ridden" by the target name supplied in the link, and is different than what a true user-spawned window would be (which apparently PurmsPublisher is dependent on). Note that the same command would work fine when used without the target:
<a href='
http://server/iw-cc/edit?vpath=/path/to/my/dcr.xml'>Edit using target</a>
The above will NOT work however, if the page containing the link is a frame source. Again, I assume due to FormsPub internals being dependent on a certain frame heirarchy. But this still does not explain why it does not work from a new target such as "_blank".
Is there some workaround for allowing URL commands to be used in this manner?
