Call a URL which is a Javascript

[Former Member]

Hi All.

I know we CANNOT call javascript in Web dynpro abap.

I also know we can call a URL via calling external window and passing the URL.

We needed a functionality which requires a small piece of javascript code to be executed on click of any button. I have placed a javascript code in the portal server.

I was wondering if there could be a way to call a URL WITHOUT the external window - this would mean that I call my javascript URL whenever I want.

Thanks in adv for your patience.

So it comes from ehp then....no need to activate it

I hope that you develop then something else to do what iframe does...Just wondering why SAP could not fix iframe bugs?

It is quite hard to explain to customers that they have to buy expensive corrections/changes because sap does not support that anymore...

Where i get list of things that is now available and tommorow not?

Wrong on both counts. The iFrame was depreciated before 7.0 Enhancement Package 1. The listing of depreciated UI elements that I linked to was comprehensive and includes all items pre-EnhP1 and with EnhP1.

Even if it was only depreciated with 7.0 EnhP1, there is no activation option for NetWeaver Enhancement Packages. NetWeaver Enhancement Packages are delivered with all new functionality immediately activated. NetWeaver Enhancement Packages don't use the Switch Framework. You can imagine what kind of mess we would have if we deliver new ABAP language constructs and new UI elements and made them optional - but then delivered applications that depend upon this new functionality. Even if we made the technology components switchable, they would almost certainly all have to be switch on at the first application that you activate. The dependencies would become a nightmare.

Just so we are clear - there are differences between bugs (defects in the product - not doing what it was designed or advertised to do) and simply not having certain functionality that you might want. There are no bugs in the iFrame UI. We have alternative solutions already - in the form of items I listed.

I supplied the official link of depreciated items from the online help.
