HTML Pop-up window Tabed IU Causing external browser Launch

ChrisPanek — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 22:02:08 GMT

I'm trying to use jQuery tabbed IU in an ArcGIS Explorer html pop-up. The popup renders fine, but each time a UI element is clicked the tab switches in the pop-up and open in an external browser window.

Our pop-up triggers a URL like the following:

...company.com/pancakes?cno=223354

The end part (after the ?) tells the database what we want. Html tables are dynamically inserted into an html template returning information about our feature. The information is shown by tabs to help organize it.

When a tab within the pop-up is clicked a URL is generated like this:

...company.com/pancakes?cno=223354#fragment-3

This triggers JavaScript to run, hiding one tab and showing the next. Firefox, chrome and IE7 & 8 & 9 all re-render the current page without opening a new one. ArcGIS explorer opens a new page externally and re-renders the current pop-up view. Oddly, ArcMap's pop-up tool does not exhibit this behavior.

What can be done to keep this from happening in ArcGIS explorer? Is this a bug or a designed limitation or what?

Thanks,

Chris

This is a bug. We've had someone on this forum with the same issue. The next version of AGX should have the fix for you. And to answer your next question - the new version should be out before the User Conference 2011.
