Ajax callback and rendering a new page

Greetings,

I am attempting to get the following behaviour:
1. user clicks on a row in an HTML table (I do not want to use an anchor)
2. a totally new page is rendered.

Getting control back on the server is easy using code something like:
html updater callback: [:r | "display a new page" ]

My problem is how do I render a totally new page from within the
callback.  Is this possible?

Many Thanks,
Frank

Have a look at how WAAnchorTag creates the URL for a callback that
does a full refresh. Use the same technique to create an URL and
combine it with the following Javascript:

    window.location = "http://www.somewhere.com/?_s=123&_k=456&7

Hi Frank,

I haven't investigated Lukas' suggestion so it may be just what you are
looking for.  But I have to wonder why you are using the Ajax updater in
the first place.  Without it, you could go back to the server and it would
render a new page without the Ajax updater trying to get just a portion
replaced.

Hi Lou,

Picture an HTML table with a couple of columns and lets say each row
displays some summary information (a few fields) about a person.

Id   Name   Address
--------------------------+
|12| Fred | 123 Someplace |
+--+------+---------------+
|71| Wilma| 456 Somewhere |
+--+------+---------------+

I don't want to use anchors for each cell; what I want is for the user
to be able to double-click on a row and have a new page displayed. The
new page will have the full information about the person.

I hope this explains my requirements.  If you have an alternative
solution I would appreciate hearing it.

Cheers,
Frank

Hi Lukas,

I looked in detail at WAAnchorTag but I cannot piece it together.  It is
not clear to me how the Javascript snippet fits in.

If you have the time, could you give me a few more clues?

Many Thanks,
Frank

You can use SUScript's callback.
Something like

renderTableRowOn: html
  html tableRow
    onDoubleClick: ((SUScript on: html) callback: [self call:
....................]);
    with: [...............................]

As you can style anchors to look whatever you like, is not clear why you don't
want to use them. What's the reason that motivates you to not use anchors?

I think you are right. I was confused in my thinking.  Anchors will work
just fine.

Thanks for your help.
