Do not popup new windows

This option is configured using property Do Not Popup New Windows in the Server Administration General Properties. When selected the system will not popup new windows in any of the following circumstances:

• Pop-up field help
• Save/restore feature windows
• Upload window
• Windows containing PDF documents resulting from script statements
• Windows displayed with the FPL display command or API WebForm.displayUrl() method

Instead, these popup windows will be displayed in the existing form browser window. Where possible, Ebase Xi adds a return button to enable the end-user to return to the form window. However, when the popup window contains a document of a type other than HTML e.g. a PDF document, this is not possible, and the end-user must then press the browser back button to return to the form.

If Javascript is not used, popup windows are always disabled.

When this option is set, it is still possible to dynamically enable popups for browsers that support Javascript by setting the $PRESENTATION_USE_POPUPS system variable e.g. for FPL:

set $PRESENTATION_USE_POPUPS = 'Y';
