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.

Hi, i try to be more civil...I dont have good day today

Well Business client does not work at all yet (very many bugs and documentation mismatch, but this is another issue) and portal is not so used end user system. Abap web dynpro is VERY good tool, i have to say best that i have seen (11 years).

It was quite nice feature that you could show dynamicly companys extranet solutions using iframe in awd.

Well i just have to live with it...

Thank you!

That was never intended to be a feature of Web Dynpro. Web Dynpro has always been designed to run within Portal or NetWeaver Business Client and not to be a "portal frame" of its own.

Does not work at all? It is a released and offically supported product. If you are having issues I suggest that you open a support ticket rather than just claiming publically that hte product "does not work at all". These are serious claims.

>portal is not so used end user system

At your company or in general? This is not a correct statement if you are refering to the entire SAP customer base. It is actually quite widely used and a technical requirement for many solutions.

Ok, i will create ticket for that (issue is very real).

People likes "old gui" because of rich features (not beacuse flexible navigation tree ). Portal is not so flexible as gui is and therefore they use litle bit portal (when have to) and lot of gui.

Im quite sure than gui is most used SAP ui in world...

End user do not like to jump system to system. That's why Business client is (to be) very needed ui in future. That im sure.

Meanwhile we have to feed customers with something...
