Open Navigation Link in a new window

Open Navigation Link in a new window

• Marcin2k

  One way of doing this is to use an expression like this for the hyperlink action (Note - I had to insert a blank between 'java' and 'script' otherwise the text would not be visible in the posting):
  ="java script:void(window.open('http://www.microsoft.com','_blank'))"

  Note: be careful with single and double quotes in the expression - especially if you use RDL expressions to concatenate static information with dynamic information from e.g. a field value.

  Try this:

  ="java script:void(window.open('https://www.mysite.com/pdf/" & Fields!SurveyReportNo.Value & ".pdf','_blank'))"

  Thank you Robert !

  It worked like a charm, I'm using SQL 2005 for about 2 months, and it's really difficulty to find good information.

  I've bought 2 books from the "dummies" series, but this kind of info is not there :(

  Thank you again !

  The reason it does not work is the built in rendering extension puts "_Top" in the <a href> tag that it renders. Somehow, we need to change that '_Top" to "_blank" while rendering.
  
  Is there any way you know of
  
  Thanks.

  I have seen this answer "rc:LinkTarget" from multiple sources, but I cannot get it to work. I cannot get the Target attribute to change from _top to _blank or any frame names.

  here is my code sample:

  ="http://myServersName/ReportServer /Finance/quickTest&rc:LinkTarget=_blank"

  Because or report server runs in a framed wrapper the window.open method cannot work either.

  any suggestions would be helpful.

  Thanks.

  Never mind, just found it

  ="java script:void(window.open('https://www.mysite.com/pdf/" & Fields!SurveyReportNo.Value & ".pdf','_blank','toolbar=false'))"

  Don't know why, i was using "menu=no"

  Tks again

  You can do this by using URL access to render the report and specifying the rc:LinkTarget parameter. See: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms155395.aspx

  ="java script:void(window.open('http://www.microsoft.com','_blank'))"

  It's perfect but I coudn't figure out how to do it with a field value like:

  "https://www.mysite.com/pdf/" & Fields!SurveyReportNo.Value & ".pdf"

  Could you help me Robert

  Because our report server runs in a framed wrapper the javascript clientside window.open method cannot work either.

  any suggestions would be helpful.

  Hi, Robert,

  All of my users are using http://machine/reports or http://machine/reportserver with IE.  Is there anyway to change the default value of LinkTarget at navigation link from _top to _blank in .config file to make this behavior by default

  I tried to modify rsreportserver.config without luck.

  I also noticed that the default behavior of SSRS 2000 does allow one to open new window at navigation link (right click -> Open new window).  But this has been removed from SSRS 2005 (well, at least its default behavior is not to open a new window).

  Thanks.
