[Seaside] How to create a new browser window

[Richard K Eng]

Thanks. I've decided to dispense with the popup.

Popups annoy me, too.  :-)

Regards,
Richard

Ce n'est pas si façile que ça.
The easiest way to go is probably to subclass WAReportColumn and
WATableReport. In your TableReport class override
#renderColumn:row:on: check if you're your special column class and if
yes do a #popupAnchor.

No, popus tend to be used by users of other frameworks who do not have
#call: or replaceable components and tend to annoy users. That's one
of the reasons why target="_blank" was removed from HTML
