[CASE-OPENED] Drilldown to target iframe in WebFOCUS v8.0.08 opens a new tab

I have an html page with 3 iframes--iframe1, iframe2 and iframe3. The focexec in iframe1 one has a drilldown with target=iframe2. The focexec in iframe2 has a drilldown with target=iframe3.

Despite the target= commands in the drilldowns, they still open in a new browser tab when executed. I have a HT case open (12273533) and using parent.iframe in the target= command was suggested. I tried this but it did not work.

Has anyone experienced this behavior in webFOCUS v8.0.0.8?

Jenny,

When you created the iframes did you just change the name of the iframe or both the name and ID?

HTML Composer usually creates ifrmaes with the name and ID set to "reportX" - where X is a number.

The TARGET of a drilldown is looking for the ID not the name - I've been bitten by this in the past.

Either change the ID (Unique Identifier) or change your TARGET to use the ID. Then it should hopefully work.

You shouldn't need to use "parent"

Cheers

Stu

The name of the frame and the Unique Id are the same. So for iframe1, the name and unique ID is iframe1; same thing for iframe2 and iframe3.

Jenny,

Can you try this example based on the CAR file? It assumes that the files are all in baseapp.

Stu,

I apologize for the delayed response. Unfortunately the HTML you provided does not run for me. I have a case open with IBI Techsupport. While working with the consultant via remote session, we got it going to the frame. I am not sure what I did wrong...maybe the order of how I did things...not sure.

Thank you for your response. If there is a definitive solution, I will post here.
