JS on Custom Button to open help file

I have a custom button on my list page that I want to open a help file. The help file is xyz.html.

In my Before Display I have this code:

$pageObject->setProxyValue(fname, $filename);

where $filename = "help/xyz.html"

Then in my Custom Button in the client before I have this code:

windows.open (window.proxy['fname'],'_blank');

When I click on the button, it's doesn't do anything.

Probably something simple but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks

The first parameter in setProxyValue must be quoted. See examples at https://xlinesoft.com/phprunner/docs/setproxyvalue.htm

Ok, I put double quotes around the fname on the Before Display.
I confirmed that $filename has help/xyz_list.html in it.

In my Custom Button in the Client before I have

//window.open('help/xyz_list.html', '_blank');

windows.open (window.proxy['fname'],'_blank');

If I click on the custom button, it does nothing.
If I comment out the second line and uncomment the first, then it works.

Must be something with the windows.open(window.proxy statement that I'm doing wrong. I feel I'm very close.

Do I need to do something besides

windows.open (window.proxy['fname'],'_blank');

like save the value in a variable or something? JS is not my strong suit.

I think I'm close, just can't get it to work

I knew it would be something simple.

Should be window.open not windows.open.

All fixed
