Open a new browser window/session inside a tab on a tab pane

I have a RDF application running in Atrium that has 10 tab panels. Inside of one of these I would like to open a browser session/window. I can set things up so that a new window opens up but need to have the window open up and be accessible inside the tab panel. Is that possible?

Usually when someone says "a window", they mean something that's separate from the page it was launched from. It's a separate window with it's own controls to open/close, etc, Is that what you mean? If so, what do you mean when you say that the window must be in the tab panel? (That doesn't make much sense if it's a separate window.)
The browser has a JavaScript routine named window.open() that can create a new window.
Or, do you mean that you want to have an iframe inside a tab panel? In which case, you can just put an iframe widget inside the tab panel, like any other widget...

Hi Scott, sorry for the terminology confusion as I am not sure how to explain what I want to do. Inside one of my tab panels in the RDF application a separate website, embedded maybe, needs to be opened. I want to open a separate URL inside a tab on a tab panel of a RDF application. Browser session A hosts the RDF application with the tab panel, inside one of the tabs, browser session B hits a separate URL. Does that make any more sense? I will look at the iframe widget and see what that does.

Sounds like the iframe should be exactly what you need, then. Let me know if that works for you.

Scott, at this point the Iframe is precisely what I was looking for. Thanks for your help.
