Notes

The view.postScript() method allows you to send (clientside) JavaScript to the browser after an eventhandler has executed. This snippet shows you how you can redirect the user to a new page in a new window. See also this article on my blog: http://linqed.eu/?p=190

<xp:link escape="true" text="Start" id="link2">
  <xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="true"
    refreshMode="partial" refreshId="link2">
    <xp:this.action><![CDATA[#{javascript:
      //execute server side code here to determine a target url
      var target = "http://www.nu.nl";
      view.postScript("window.open('" + target + "')");}]]>
    </xp:this.action>
  </xp:eventHandler>
</xp:link>
