Target Property is Ignored

[Rick Atkinson]

I am setting a target for the radbutton.  This was working fine with my last build from Q1.  With the latest Q2 build, it appears to be ignoring the Target setting to open the link in the parent window. Instead, it navigates to the new page within the existing window.  Did something change here?


<telerik:RadButton ID="testButton" runat="server" NavigateUrl="~/newPage" Text="Setup" Target="_parent" Skin="MetroTouch" ButtonType="LinkButton" AutoPostBack="false" />

Hi Rick Atkinson,

As a work around please try the below sample code snippet to open a page in new window.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadButton runat="server" ID="RadButton1" Text="Click" OnClick="OnClick1">
</telerik:RadButton>

C#:

protected void OnClick1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string openURL = "<script language='javascript'>function f() { window.open('http://www.telerik.com/','open_window'); Sys.Application.remove_load(f);}; Sys.Application.add_load(f);</script>";
    Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "openURL", openURL);
}

Thanks,
Shinu.

Thanks for the update.  Though, in my approach, I just need the link to open in a parent window, not a new one.

Any idea when this will be corrected?  Was working in Q1 (which I reverted back to).  

I use this approach in several places and would prefer not to apply a patch to each scenario.

I am now following the feedback item.

Thanks, Rick
