[Geomoose-users] Popups in Geomoose?

[Knippel, Randy]

Create hyperlink popups in query results by including a bit of JavaScript in the href tag to open a new window.
 
In the HTML record template use:
<a href="javascript:void window.open('[HYPERLINK]','Popup','scrollbars,resizable,width=500,height=380');">Click Here</a>
where [HYPERLINK] is a field in the data being queried, the value of which is the URL to a web document (HTML, pdf, etc.).  Note that any part of the path could be hard coded before or after [HYPERLINK] in the record template as well.
 
Note that returning query results as HTML has other caveats:
In the map library file (XML) use the keyword 
  <input type="hidden" name="output" value="html"/>
In the map file used by MapServer to do the actual query, use 
 WEB
        QUERYFORMAT 'text/html'
 END
 and
 HEADER 'header_template.html'
 FOOTER 'footer_template.html'
 TEMPLATE 'record_template.html'
to define the HTML format for the returned attributes.

Randy,

Can you post your questions to the geomoose-users mailing list
(http://www.geomoose.org/moose/community-support/geomoose-mailing-list/)
?  That way if someone else has the same question they can search the
archives.

You should be able to add an attribute to your service called
"display=window".  This worked in a previous version. Hopefully it still
does.

I want to hyperlink to a document through an identify tool.  I want the
document to come up in a popup when the user clicks on the hyperlink in
the attribute display.  Is this built in?  Is there a generic javascript
function I can call?  I tried using the attached html template including
in-line Javascript to do a window.open.  It works, but the original
Geomoose application window changes to something else with "[object
Window]" in it.

Help?
