Bring Popup to front

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 29.2006

I use this code

[COLOR=DarkRed]p.RegisterClientScriptBlock(“OpenReport”, “<script language=’javascript’>window.open(‘http://xxx/xxx/reports/” + pFilePath + “.pdf’); window.top;</script>”);[/COLOR]

to open a new window with a PDF report.

It works good on most pages, but on a few of the pages the opener page always jumps to the front. Is there a way to send the new window forward, or the opener back?
Thanks

Ray

@raynkelauthorSep 29.2006 — I am calling the function right after exporting the PDF

I tried changing to this:

[COLOR=DarkRed]p.RegisterClientScriptBlock("OpenReport", "<script language='javascript'>window.open('http://xxx/xxx/reports/" + pFilePath + ".pdf'); [B]false;</[/B]script>");[/COLOR]

with no difference.

@Mr_JSep 29.2006 — See if this works

p.RegisterClientScriptBlock("OpenReport", "<script language='javascript'>newWin=window.open('http://xxx/xxx/reports/" + pFilePath + ".pdf'); newWin.focus();</script>");

That was not my suggestion. How are you calling the function?

In the C# code I use:

[COLOR=Navy]oDoc.ExportOptions.DestinationOptions = oDiskOption;

oDoc.ExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;

oDoc.ExportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat;

oDoc.ExportOptions.FormatOptions = new PdfRtfWordFormatOptions

oDoc.Export();

[/COLOR]

That creates a PDF with the sessionID as its name

[COLOR=Navy]

Global.ShowRaysReport(Session.SessionID, this, "pdf");

[/COLOR]

The call to [COLOR=Navy]Global.ShowRaysReport [/COLOR] is a public static void in my Global.asax.cs file.

Thanks for the help

@gil_davisSep 29.2006 — I wanted to know how the browser calls the function. What does the user have to do to get the report?

@raynkelauthorOct 02.2006 — They click a button that does a postback that generates the pdf and then runs the function that writes the script that opens the new window.

When you say "postback" do you mean that the ACTION of the FORM is the same web page? If so, then there is a timing issue between the button click, the "postback", the creation of the new window and the load of the pdf file in the new window. Since "newWin.focus()" did not help, perhaps the newWin had not finished loading. If that is the case, perhaps you can include an onload handler for newWin:newWin.onload = function () {window.focus();}
