Launching new browser windows from browser control [message #431344]

Is there a trick to enabling the browser control to create new windows
when a clicked link contains a blank target or when the JavaScript method
window.open() is called?

Below is a complete code snippet that demonstrates the problem. The first
link works. The second and third appear to be ignored.

---

import org.eclipse.swt.*;
import org.eclipse.swt.browser.*;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.*;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.*;

public class Main
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{
/*
<html><head></head><body>
<a href="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo (normal link)</a> 
<a href="http://www.yahoo.com" target="_blank">Yahoo (link with
blank target)</a> 
<a href="" onClick="window.open('http://www.yahoo.com');return
false;">Yahoo (JavaScript window.open)</a>
</body></html>
*/

String html = "<html><head></head><body>";
html += "<a href=\"http://www.yahoo.com\">Yahoo (normal
link)</a> ";
html += "<a href=\"http://www.yahoo.com\" target=\"_blank\">Yahoo
(link with blank target)</a> ";
html += "<a href=\"\"
onClick=\"window.open('http://www.yahoo.com');return false;\">Yahoo
(JavaScript window.open)</a>";
html += "</body></html>";

Display display = new Display();
Shell shell = new Shell(display);
shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());
Browser browser = new Browser(shell, SWT.NONE);
browser.setText(html);
shell.open();
while (!shell.isDisposed())
{
if (!display.readAndDispatch())
{
display.sleep();
}
}
display.dispose();
}
}

Thanks for any help!

Hi Mike,

As far as I know, you'll have to create the windows yourself by adding
an instance of OpenWindowListener to your browser using
addOpenWindowListener method.

Check the javadoc for org.eclipse.swt.browser.WindowEvent for examples.

In addition, you can see how the WindowEvents are used in the
BrowserExample, which is part of the Example Plug-ins available from the
eclipse download page.
