Aby,
Thanks. I did figure out the syntax finally
which made this possible. In the Extra HTML
of the object on the calling page, I used
the following:
--onClick=return(functionCall(this));
In the function called 'functionCall(elmt)'
i used the following:
--window.open(...);
--return false;
Note the use of Parentheses in this for the
returns. In particular, note that paren's
are used in the extra HTML return, but not
used in the return of the actual function.
Only this combination of syntax seems to
work 100%.
Also note the 'this' in the function call.
I can parse the contents of 'this' to get
the value for 'currRowNumber'. This added
in case someone was wondering.
Again, thanks for the answers. There really
isn't another place I can seem to get these
kind of answers.
