Parameters
This function has two parameters:
url – the url for the link (for example http://www.apple.com).
caption – the caption for the link (for example Apple). If the caption is not supplied ("") the URL will be used for the caption.
Description
This function builds an HTML link tag. The link will open the new page in a new browser window instead of in the same window (by adding target="_blank" to the a tag).
weblinknewwindow("http://www.provue.com","ProVUE")
☞ <a href="http://www.provue.com" target="_blank">ProVUE</a>
weblinknewwindow("http://123.45.67.89","")
☞ <a href="http://123.45.67.89" target="_blank">http://123.45.67.89</a>
Note: If this function is embedded in a formula in a form, the form will only display the caption, not the url. When the form is rendered on a server, however, the full URL will be generated.
