I added a simple link to a sample xpage to open a web URL (sample: Google). The code work fine when I open the Webpage in a web browser but acts differently when I open the Xpage in the Lotus Notes Client. It only sends a blank screen and did not open the site. Any fix, suggestion or work around to make the behavior act the same way in both Notes Client and Web Browser?

I guess you are creating your link in a not right way.

Let's do the following.

  1. Create a test xpage
  2. Open XPage controls via menu: Window -> Show Eclipse Views -> Controls

turning on xpage controls

  1. Now, select a "Link" control and drag it to the Xpage body

dragging the link control

  1. Set the "Link" control properties:

setting up the control properties

  1. Make sure, you have set "Project - Build Automatically"

project build menu

  1. Save the page and open it in the client and in a browser.

Previewing the page

  • Nope. I am well versed using the steps you suggested and it worked fine using firefox / chrome or any other browser. What I am trying to do is open the xpage in Notes Client and the link just wont behave like it did outside of Notes. – Mark Anthony Adriano Sep 22 '15 at 02:59
  • In this case take a look at your Notes client settings. Do you have this problem on different computers with different Notes clients ? –  Sep 22 '15 at 03:20
  • Already tried using 3 computers and it just opens a blank page. – Mark Anthony Adriano Sep 22 '15 at 07:59
  • What Lotus Notes version do you use ? –  Sep 22 '15 at 08:02
  • @MarkAnthonyAdriano also, what is set in your Notes preferences related to `Web browser`. My settings: http://i.imgur.com/5q7a3GM.jpg –  Sep 22 '15 at 08:21

    Rafael, I was able to make it work using the advice from Mark Leunsik's blog: http://linqed.eu/2012/08/13/send-a-serverside-redirect-to-a-new-window/. I skipped the checking of my client setting as it would be hard to predict what other users in my company has, so I was searching for a solution regardless of the notes client setting. This issue has been fixed. – Mark Anthony Adriano Sep 23 '15 at 05:48
