Open Hyperlink in same window

Question

Hi

I have configured my popup info dialog to include a hyperlink in the description section. I would like to know if there is any way that the url specified can be opened in the same window? Specifying the target parameter on the anchor tag makes no difference. I am hoping to do this through configuration rather than coding. If popup's the wrong route then I'd welcome suggestions.

Basically I need people to be able to click on a polygon and then click on a hyperlink that contains the polygon's ID in the quersytring but keeps them in that window.

Thanks

Gary

You can create a custom PopUpRendererSkin that has this line of code removed from the cleanAndSetHtmlText() function: // add target="_blank" to all anchor tags htmlText = htmlText.replace(/(.*?)<\/a\s*>/gi, '$2'); See: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/help/index.html#/Styling_and_skinning_overview/017p0000001s000000/

Hi Joshi As I say, I've tried setting the anchor target parameter and I would prefer to do this through configuration rather than code. This is the popup xml: Land Parcel Sheet No: {SheetNo}

Land Referencing]]> 10000 _self is ignored. Does anyone have any other suggestions. Thanks Gary

Hopefully this is what you are looking for
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://forums.arcgis.com/newreply.php?p=116147&noquote=1//www",'_self'));

"_self" specifies the current frame in the current window.
