How to view a PDF file in a new browser tab?

[jrp]

Hello,

How to view a PDF file in a new browser tab?

Thanks

[jrp]

I mean: I have the URL of a PDF file. When a button clicked, I want to display that URL in a new browser tab (not a new browser window).

UniSession.AddJS('var myWindow = window.open(''' + YourFullPathToFile_FileName {OR URL} + ''', ''foo'','''');'//+ ''', ''_blank'');'
                                        + ' if (myWindow == null)'
                                        + '   alert (''Please change your popup settings'');'
                                        + ' else  {'
                                        + '  myWindow.moveTo(0, 0);'
                                        + '  myWindow.resizeTo(screen.width, screen.height);'
                                        + '}'
                                    //+ 'myWindow.print();'
                                    //+ 'myWindow.close();'
                                    );

Hello irigsoft,

It took me some time to understand your code, but finally I made it 😁

This is the actual code I use:

UniSession.AddJS('var myWindow = window.open(''' +FileURL+ ''', ''_blank'');'
  + ' if (myWindow == null)'
  + '   alert (''Please change your popup settings'');'
  + ' else  {'
  + '  myWindow.moveTo(0, 0);'
  + '  myWindow.resizeTo(screen.width, screen.height);'
  + '}');

Thank you irigsoft. I don't know JavaScript at all.

I think this should be considered a basic functionality, and should be provided by UniGUI, so we don't need to touch any JavaScript. Maybe we should have something like UniSession.OpenUrl(AUrl: string; NewTab: boolean);

Thank You,

In the beginning I needed help too - and I still don't know javascript, but here is a programming language that will be used in the future (and it's useful to know)

Master Delphi - as a base

uniGui - to group all this.

UniGui is a very good choice

Hello irigsoft , Jrp
         How to change the title of a new browser tab when it is opened ？ The title  is the same as the stored file on the server, but it is not the original file name( When uploading the file, I changed the original file name  ). I want the title to be the original filename, also when downloading and saving.

 Best Regards

    var myWindow = window.open('', '', 'width=600,height=400');
     setTimeout(function(){ myWindow.document.title = 'my new title'; }, 1000);

Thanks very much.
