Part 2: Developing a site 73 Where should the page be displayed? A page is displayed in a specific "target": current page, new browser tab, etc. The target can be defined: • in the page editor: no programming is required. • in the code editor, in an event of the Button (or Link) control. Several WLanguage functions allow you to open a new page (or frameset). The main functions are: • PageDisplay (for pages), • FramesetDisplay (for framesets), • PopupDisplay (for popup pages), • PageDisplayDialog (for modal page display). Selecting the target in the page editor (most common method) In a Button control, to define the target of the page to display: • Open the description of the Button or Link control (right click, "Description"). • In the list of targets, select a preset target or a frame (in the case of a frameset). Remark : The preset targets will be presented later in this manual. Selecting the target in the code editor When the target depends on a choice made by the user, this target must be defined through programming. For example, if the user does not enter their password, an error page will appear in a new browser tab; otherwise, the next page will appear in the current browser. ChangeTarget is used to change the target of an action through programming. This function must be used in browser code.
