POGWT open page in a new tab
text
Body
copied!<p>I am developing GWT application and I use </p> <pre><code>com.google.gwt.user.client.Window.open(pageUrl, "_blank", ""); </code></pre> <p>to open new page. And it opens in a new tab when called, for example, directly after button click. But I decided to do some validations on server before opening new page and placed the call to the mentioned above method to the </p> <pre><code>public void onSuccess(Object response) { } </code></pre> <p>And it starts to open pages in new window instead of new tab (this is true only for Chrome, other browsers still open it in a new tab).</p> <p>Can anybody help me?</p> <hr> <p>I built a small example to illustrate the issue:</p> <pre><code> button.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() { public void onClick(ClickEvent event) { Window.open("http://www.google.com/", "_blank", ""); MySampleApplicationServiceAsync serviceAsync = GWT.create(MySampleApplicationService.class); serviceAsync.getMessage("Hello, Server!", new AsyncCallback() { public void onFailure(Throwable caught) { Window.alert("ERROR"); } public void onSuccess(Object result) { Window.open("http://www.bing.com/", "_blank", ""); } } ); } }); </code></pre> <ul> <li>Firefox(3.6.8) opens both pages in new tabs.</li> <li>Chrome(6.0) opens "google.com" in new tab and "bing.com" in new window</li> <li>Opera(10.10) opens in new tabs.</li> <li>IE(8.0) opens both in new Windows.</li> </ul> <hr> <p>I marked igorbel 's answer as the only correct cos I haven't found any proper way to specify the same behaviour in all situations.</p> <hr>
