Hi All
I would like to add a link to a report page that would open up a search box of a table
I would like the report to stay in the background and the new view page to be in a pop up.
i would like the user to look at the report take a reference number from the report, click on the link the pop up open to the search box. The user enters the reference number into the search box and clicks search. The search results will then be shown in the pop up. The user can move the pop up box and still see the report in the background. i would also like the user to be able to inline add to the information in the pop up.
I have looked through the site but similar questions do not have the solution im looking for.
Regards
Jason

You have to write some custom code for that.

You can start from here: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_win_open.asp Check the Example 2.

Hi thanks for the info. I expected to have to write some custom code. could you provide more information
<html>

<body>
<script type="text/javascript">

myWindow=window.open('','','width=200,height=100')

myWindow.document.write("<p>This is 'myWindow'</p>")

myWindow.focus()

</script>
</body>

</html>
How can i tie this to my question?

In the report page, insert a PHP snippet and enter this code:

echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">";

echo "myWindow=window.open('your_custom_view_list.php','','width=600,height=600');";

echo "mywindow.document.write(\"<p>This is 'myWindow'</p>\");";

echo "mywindow.focus()";

echo "</script>";


Create a custom view (http://xlinesoft.com/phprunner/docs/list_page_options.htm) for the table you want to present as search box. Enable for this new Custom View inline add/edit and search panel. Make this Custom View the URL of the popup window.

If you want it in a button, enter this code in the "Before client":

window.open('your_custom_view_list.php','','width=600,height=600');


Leave as blank page the "Server" and "Client after" sections.

Excellent Both of those solutions work
If i wanted the urn shown on the report to be a link to open the search to the child record attached to the urn displayed in the report how would i create that
Thanks for your help

In the "Client after" section of the custom button.
