url from a menu option

[RMV]

I am trying open a url from a menu option using javascript.
The url's are loaded into the value portion of the menu.

I tried the script: window.open(get("DocPath")); DOCPATH IS THE RECORD ID.

I tried using it in the ONOPTIONSCLICK properity and when that didn't work tried it in the ONCLICK property. Both give me an invalid argument error.

I loaded a url from one of the menu values into a hyperlink widget and the script:
window.open(get("linkid")); works fine.

How do I get this to work from a menu option.
Debug shows the correct url is being loaded into the menu value properities.

Thanks

Are you referring to the menu widget?

If so, you'll want to use the "onoptionclick" event of the menu widget. A special variable called "value" is available to your script that will have the value of the option clicked. Variable "text" will include the text. See here:

In your case, assuming the URL is in the menu option value, you could use this:

Code: Select all

window.open(value);

Thank you, that is what I needed. It's working now.
