Try opening the window type as a dialogue and see if that helps.

Subject: can Open Window actions be caught in a lightbox?

Hello everyone:

I have a button in a form. When you click it, it opens a new window  
via the 'Open Window' action, you fiddle with some field values, click  
"ok", it does some stuff to the record you were in when you clicked  
the button, and closes the window.

Pretty standard stuff.

On the mid-tier, opening a new browser window is kinda uncool and  
clunky.

I'd really-really like to be able to capture the "Open Window" action  
inside a frame in a lightbox, have the user do their thing there, and  
then when they finish, undraw the light box.

Like the "mini-browser" example here:

http://test.thecodecentral.com/demos/lightbox/lightbox.html#void

except with opening my display-only form in the lightboxed frame  
instead of google, and passing my fields back to the record beneath  
when the user is done.

anyone do this before?
Can it even be done? If it can, what's the least messy way to  
accomplish it?

thanks everyone,

-Andy
