How to open another page in HTML5 Builder - rad

Sorry for my very simple question, I'am new to HTML5 Builder.
I'm developing a simple database editing application (to add or remove some advertisments on site, only for system administrator), and I want to make it using HTML5 builder (I hope, it will be fast and simple).
On button click on main page ("Add record" button), I need to open another page with data fields (advinfo.php).
How can I do it?
Thanks.

You just need to redirect to the target page. How to do so will depend on the language you want to use.
If you want to use the JavaScript OnClick event of the button:
function Button1JSClick($sender, $params)
{
?>
//begin js
window.location = "advinfo.php";
//end
<?php
}
If you want to use the PHP OnClick event (the standard event):
function Button2Click($sender, $params)
{
header("Location: advinfo.php");
}

Web browser control, modal window/popup to STAY INSIDE web browser control for Visual Studio 2015/Visual Basic 2015

this is the first time I'm posting a question here; I have searched and searched and searched here and other places and I cannot seem to get any results. I'm using VISUAL BASIC 2015 in Visual Studio 2015. QUESTION: I need to have a modal window/popup from a particular website remain INSIDE the web browser control/window on my form (WebBrowser1); when a particular link is clicked, the modal window/popup jumps out of the form and directly to the user on their screen. I have to keep this popup inside because there are other links to be clicked on that popup, but if it jumps out of the web browser control, no code will work since it's outside WebBrowser1. What I have found is code for older versions, and not 2015; if anything I can even add WebBrowser2 to have the popups/modal windows appear there if possible, just as long as I can code them to keep clicking inside the form. PLEASE HELP! THANK YOU!
window.open (and a click on <a target="_blank"> etc) can be handled via the NewWindow2 event. Hans already pointed out how to do that in comments. NewWindow3 works too, but need at least Windows XP SP2.
As for window.showModalDialog, it is a bit tricky. IE has IDispatchEx (wrapped as IExpando in .Net) implemented on scripting objects so you replace the methods and properties with your own implementation. But window.showModalDialog shows a dialog that has arguments and return values, you need to override those properties in the modal dialog you create too. The code looks roughly like tis:
void webBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(object sender, WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e)
{
//skip events from frames
if(WebBrowserReadyState.Complete!=webBrowser1.ReadyState) return;
if(FindLoginFormOnPage()) {DoLogin();return;}
if(IsWelcomePage()){NavigateToPage1();return;}
if(IsPage1()){SubmitFormOnPage1();return;}
if(IsPage1FormResult()){
var document=webBrowser1.Document.DomDocument as mshtml.ITMLDocument2;
var expando =(IExpando)document.parentWindow;
expando.RemoveMember(expando.GetMethod("showModalDialog"
,BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public);
expando.AddMethod("showModalDialog"
,new ShowModalDialogDelegate(this.MyShowModalDialog));
}
......
}
object MyShowModalDialog(string url, object varArgIn, object options)
{
using(FromMyShowModalDialog myShowModalDialog
=new MyShowModalDialog())
{
myShowModalDialog.StartupUrl=url;
myShowModalDialog.DialogArguments=varArgIn;
//omit the code to parse options
//and set dialog height/width/topleft location etc
if(myShowModalDialog.ShowDialog()==DialogResult.OK)
{
//do something on the return value before passing to the scripts
......
return myShowModalDialog.ReturnValue;
}
return null;
}
}
and in the Load event handler of MyShowModalDialog you call something like webBrowser1.Navigate to show the page requested by the parent page.
Now you need to pass the arguments to the webbrowser control on the new form. Do the same as above but replace another property this time.
expando.RemoveProperty("dialogArguments");
expando.AddProperty("dialogArguments")
.SetValue(expando,this.DialogArguments);
This will let the web page access the value passed from MyShowModalDialog and stored in this.DialogArguments.
The earliest you can access the DOM is in webBrowser1_DocumentCompleted. By that time the scipts on the page that read window.dialogArguments are probably already executed and got nothing. After overriding window.dialogArguments, you need to study the script on the page to find out how to revert that. for example, if the page has
<head>
<script>
var oMyObject = window.dialogArguments;
var sFirstName = oMyObject.firstName;
var sLastName = oMyObject.lastName;
</script>
...
<span style="color: 00ff7f">
<script>
document.write(sFirstName);
</script>
</span>
you need to change the values of sFirstName and sLastName then change the innerText property of the span, probably identify via its relationship with a named div or table cell. You can write the necessary changes in a script and call it via HtmlDocument.InvokeScript.
If the page returns a value to its parent, you need to pass it on to your parent form too. Override window.returnValue so when the script writes to window.returnValue it writes to a variable you provided
......
expando.RemoveProperty("returnValue");
expando.AddProperty("returnValue").SetValue(expando,this.ReturnValue);

Safari Extension: window.open(...) doesn't work sometimes?

I have an injected stylesheet that calls a popup with window...open() on two occasions. One when the user clicks an HTML button, and two, when a user clicks on a context menu item. To listen for the context menu item, I need to add a listener on the injected script like so
safari.self.addEventListener("message", messageCallBack, false); // Message comes from global.html when context menu item is clicked
And the following callback
function messageCallBack(msgEvent) {
...
window.open(...)
...
}
For some reason, the popup works when the button calls window.open, but NOT when the message callback calls window.open. I'm assuming it maybe have something to do with the window object.
I suspect this is due to restrictions on window.open designed to combat pop-up ads. This means it will only work in response to a click event.
To get around this, I would recommend you open the new window from your global page using the safari.application API:
safari.application.openBrowserWindow();
safari.application.activeBrowserWindow.activeTab.url = '...';
You can also open new tabs with:
safari.application.activeBrowserWindow.openTab('foreground').url = '...';
To achieve this, you may need to send a message from your injected script to the global page.

how to attach an event to dojox.mobile.heading 'back' button

In addition to the 'back' button functioning as expected, I need to asynchronously invoke a function to update some db tables and refresh the UI.
Prior to making this post, I did some research and tried the following on this...
<h1 data-dojo-type="dojox.mobile.Heading" id="hdgSettings" data-dojo-props="label:'Settings',back:'Done',moveTo:'svStart',fixed:'top'"></h1>
dojo.connect(dijit.registry.byId("hdgSettings"), "onclick",
function() {
if (gblLoggerOn) WL.Logger.debug(">> hdgSettings(onclick) fired...");
loadTopLvlStats();
});
Since my heading doesn't have any other widgets than the 'back' button, I thought that attaching this event to it would solve my problem... it did nothing. So I changed it to this...
dojo.connect(dijit.registry.byId("hdgSettings")._body, "onclick",
function() {
if (gblLoggerOn) WL.Logger.debug(">> hdgSettings(onclick) fired...");
loadTopLvlStats();
});
As it turns out, the '._body' attribute must be shared by the Accordion widget that I just happen to use as my app's main UI component, and any attempt to interact w the Accordion rendered my entire app useless.
As a last resort, I guess I could simply forgo using the built-in 'back' button, and simply place my own tabBarButton on the heading to control my app's transition and event processing.
If the community suggests that I use my own tabBarButton, then so be it, however there has to be a way to cleanly attach an event to the built-in 'back' button support.
Thoughts?
The following should do the trick:
var backButton = dijit.registry.byId("hdgSettings").backButton;
if (backButton) {
dojo.connect(backButton, "onClick", function() { ... });
}
Remarks:
The code above should be executed via a dojo/ready call, to avoid using dijit's widget registry before it gets filled. See http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/1.9/dojo/ready.html.
Note the capitalization of the event name: "onClick" (not "onclick").
Not knowing what Dojo version you use (please always include the Dojo version information when asking questions), I kept your pre-AMD syntax, which is not recommended with recent Dojo versions (1.8, 1.9). See http://dojotoolkit.org/documentation/tutorials/1.9/modern_dojo/ for details.

ROR + Reopen a new tab in same window using RUBY code

In my project, I want to re-open a new tab using ruby code. When user clicks at attachment link, then that pdf should be open in new tab of same window. I tried a lot but I am not getting the way to solve it. Please guide me.
I am not sure if this is possible using Ruby since it deals with the UI part. It is indeed very much possible using HTML and Jquery.
You could simply set the target attribute as blank in the hyperlink redirecting to the PDF and it will open the file in a new tab. Something similar to this :
<a href="http://www.mysite.com/files/xyz.pdf" target="_blank">
If you want to use JQuery for this, you can try something like this :
$(document).ready(function() {
$("a").click(function() {
link_host = this.href.split("/")[2];
document_host = document.location.href.split("/")[2];
if (link_host != document_host) {
window.open(this.href);
return false;
}
});
});

SharePoint 2010 Modal Dialog from JSOM not working

The idea is simple: create a web part page in SP Designer 2010 that allows a new list item to be created, and then use some javascript from the CSOM to pop the page in a modal dialog from another page. The problem is that a dialog box comes up and briefly flashes that it is loading content, but then it disappears and I'm left with a refreshed version of the page I just clicked from. Here's my code . . .
//attach a click delegate to the table containing the following button(s)
<button type='button' class='ms-listheaderlabel'>Close</button>
//on button clicked event, call the following function
function openModalDialog(dialogPage, closeCallback) {
var options = [];
options.title = unescape("Close Ticket");
options.allowMaximize = true;
options.showClose = true;
options.autoSize = true;
options.url = dialogPage;
options.dialogReturnValueCallback = Function.createDelegate(null, closeCallback);
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);
};
. . . where dialogPage is the url for the form I created (same site, SitePages library) and closeCallback is an anonymous function passed in to handle the return value from the dialog. I've tried calling the page directly and it loads just fine. Pop up blocker is completely off. Using IE9 and tried 8 compatability mode as well as another machine with straight IE8. System modals work just fine. Any ideas out there?
I am going through the exact same issue right now. What I have discovered so far is if I use
<input type="button" value="Try Me" onclick="openModalDialogBox()" />
it works as expected. But if I use an asp:button to do the same thing it fails. I think it may have to do with the postback to the server, but I could be wrong about that.
I am just switching my buttons to inputs.
