Button which doesn't open a new window.
Regular Member Posts: 141 Join Date: 3/14/17 Recent Posts

Hi.

 

I made a portlet which has a button that returns a pdf when it is pressed. The issue is that when the button is pressed, a new window is open, and what I want is opening pdf in the same window.

The button called serveResource function.


Any idea of how can I do this?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Kind regards

Can you post the code that you used to create this button? It might be simpler to point to a single issue rather than come up with a different solution.
Also, which HTTP-headers do you send back with your PDF?
Note that it might be the browser triggering a new window, rather than your own HTML code.

well, first of all, thanks for your help. I came to copy the code of the button and I realised that it has target="_blank", so I deleted it and it works of course. What a mistake!

 

thanks again
