  Hello,

  I'm tyring to do 2 things:

  1.  Have a hyperlinked field open up into a new browser.  I'm currently using the "Jump to URL" property to map to one of my fields (=Fields!BoardURL.Value).  I'm not sure where to put the "_blank" code to get it open up into a new window.

  2.  I have some additional javascript code that checks whether or not a specific browser application is open or not.  I'm not sure where to put it. 

  Below is the code I'm trying to add:

  function makeNewWindow(url)

   {//only use this logic if the url is going to siebel if (url.search("callcenter_enu") == -1) {   window.open(url, "TemplateWindow", '');    } 

  else   {  var newWindow = window.top.opener;   

   if (!newWindow || newWindow.closed) {     

   window.open(url, "SiebelCallCenter", '');     

   } else

   {// window is already open, so close the parent window     

  // wait for a few secs, and open another window     

  var pw=window.top.opener.top;       

  pw.opener=window.self;       

  pw.close();       

  pause(2000);     

  window.open(url, "SiebelCallCenter", '');

  thanks in advance!

  Hello,

  I use JavaScript to open links in a new window by doing something like the following...

  = "javascript:void(window.open('http://www.urlgoeshere.com','_blank'))"

  As far as the function your using, you'll probably want to put it wherever your using it.  So, if your using it in a 'Jump to URL' action, then you'll probably want to place it there also.

  Hope that helps,
