Opens a new HTML or other Web Page in a new Web Browser pop-up window.  If named target is already open, then  new URL is opened in existing target window.   Will open an IE browser regardless of default browser on PC (always opens Internet Explorer). IE 6.0 or later must be installed on client PC. This is supported by Browser based clients and ViewDAQ.  If connecting to the same WebAccess project  and used from a Web Browser Client, the new window does not require a new login.  Used from ViewDAQ, a new user login to the WebAccess web browser client is required.  The delimiter is the carrot ^  typed by pressing Shift 6.

 

Arguments

 

URL       Also known as a web address. Can be a URL, IP Address, name in Hosts file or Network  name. Can include options associated with the URL including ASP options and WebAccess options.
 example: GOTO URL=http://67.94.27.201

 

Target    Name defines a Target window name with feature options specified.  Can be any name.  Optional, if no name specified, will open a new window popup. If a window with same name is already open, loads URL document into the named window. Using a target window name allows use of CLOSEURL command.  The CLOSEURL command  requires a target window name. No target name is equivalent to _blank and will open new window that cannot be closed using CLOSEURL command. The default window names used by HTML code are not supported (_blank, _parent, _search, _self, _top, _media). NO BLANK SPACES.

Syntax:  target=name
example: GOTO URL=http://67.94.27.201^target=pop

Syntax: 
replace=boolean

example: GOTO URL=http://67.94.27.201^target=pop^replace=1

 

style       Options 0,1,2. Window Title Bar options.  Similar to Display Groups in ViewDAQ.
 (0 = Overlapped Window with Title,  1= Popup with Title, 2 =Popup without Title) . The Popup windows do not have Minimize, Maximize or Close controls preventing user from easily closing, the window. NO BLANK SPACES. Style is a number between 0 and 2.

Syntax:  style=number

example: GOTO URL=http://64.55.156.4^target=pop^style=2
