Browse Other Button

[Alberto]

Hi,
I have a site that has three frames, top, right and left.
I need to add buttons to a browse to change the form.
I can do it with a Change button and it works ok.
The form has many tabs and it is slow to load on some devices.
The user does not need to see all then tabs all time.
So I decided to add some more Change buttons informing the form to hide some tabs.
I tried to do it with an Other button adding a param to the URL for the form to hide the tabs.
The problem is that when I Save or Cancel the form all the frames appears in the left frame! repeating the site (all frames) again and again.

The Other button in Change mode does not work like the Change button.
How can I solve this?

Thanks
Alberto

Attached is a tweaked example 27.
In this example I've added a "change" button to the MailBoxes browse, but a "other" button not the normal built-in button.

Compare to your app and see if there's a difference.

Cheers

Your new example reproduces exactly the problem.
Run it, login, go to mailboxes browse, click change, click cancel and voila! you repeate all the site in the browse frame.

Thanks

hmm - yes, it reproduces it - but only in IE.
In FF it works fine, but in IE there's no referer for some reason which is screwing it up.  I'll look into that.

update: this problem only applies to IE6 and IE7.
It has been fixed in IE8, and isn't a problem in Firefox, Chrome or Safari.

I'll see if a work-around is possible for people still on IE 7.

Thanks Bruce! you mean you fixed it for the next NTWS release, used in IE8 ?

Hi Alberto,

no, I mean it isn't an issue for IE8 users (or other browser users) which is why my example worked for me but failed for you.

I have though built a work-around for IE7 users (and IE6 users) which will be in the 4.35 build.

Cheers
