[Solved] TARGET='_blank' ignored in Heading drill downs
I have drill-downs to focexecs in an iframe on a dashboard page. I want the drill-down to throw the new report into a different window due to the size of it, but it won't do it. I have drill-downs on data fields and they work properly. But a drill-down on a Heading field replaces the existing report in the iframe.
I did a search on tech-support and I found a bunch of links indicating TARGET='_blank' and TARGET='_BLANK' and TARGET='_new' and about a dozen other variations on the same thing, but nothing on a bug report for the heading. None of the recommendations worked on heading, all work correctly on data fields and titles.
Is anyone opening a drill-down to new window from their heading and if so, can you send me a code snippet as a sanity check? This is a 7.7.03 install on NT Server.

I do this from a heading and get a new window but it is from within an excel report, not an IFRAME. Without an id/pw, WF needs to re-credentialize from EXCEL, so it opens a new window to log in to the server before running the drilldown, I'm presuming. I use TARGET=_blank without the quotes.
I am interested in the final resolution as I'm having the same type of problem.
Drilling on TYPE=DATA, TARGET='_blank' provides a new window
Drilling on TYPE=HEADING, TARGET='_blank' (or _blank or '_BLANK' or _BLANK) does NOT provide a new window.
When I first set SET TARGETFRAME=_blank I was getting the desired new window. After exiting WebFocus and returning I got "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" errors.
I also am interested in the resolution. I drill to a graph from the heading and it opens in the same window but if I drill from the data I get a new window

I created a procedure like this:
SET TARGETFRAME=HeadFrame
TABLE FILE CAR PRINT SEATS DEALER_COST RETAIL_COST BY COUNTRY BY CAR HEADING "DDL-Heading" ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD ON TABLE NOTOTAL ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON ON TABLE SET STYLE * INCLUDE = endeflt, $ TYPE=HEADING, FOCEXEC=car_graph, ALT='DDL-Data',$ TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=COUNTRY, FOCEXEC=car_graph, ALT='DDL-Data',$
ENDSTYLE END
