Markdown - Open hyperlink in same tab using web chat or web client

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm building a chatbot with web chat and web client. My chatbots are using hyperlinks in the message via Markdowns. When someone clicks the links, it opens in a new tab. I can't have that. Someone could have 10 different tabs open by clicking the links.

How would I set this up so that each time the link is clicked, the page opens in the same tab instead of opening a new tab?

Thanks and I look forward to your answer!

Hi Fred,

just a thought: if you open a link in the same tab, your bot will possibly be gone. I think this could be a reason why links are opened in a separate tab. Cheers, Gabi

Hi freelegal1 ,

Please Download and save this file as JS --> webchat.txt in your local directory where your html page is present. Inside HTML code, do the following changes

• Use this

<script src="js/webchat.js"

• instead of

"<script src="https://cdn.cai.tools.sap/webchat/webchat.js" 

It worked for me. Let me know whether it worked.

Thanks,

Shanmugam ,

Thanks for the reply. I'll try and let you know. I have another question. I would like to embed the chatbot on the webpage itself instead of having a popup chatbot. Essentially, embedding the chatbot like any other element on the page. I've tried using <iframe> but it doesn't work. It only shows code in the iFrame window. Will loading the webchat.txt as .js cure that? Do you or anyone else have any suggestions?

Thanks a lot,

Fred
