I'm not sure the answer but make sure you review this post by Stephan. It might be helpful.

Re: Display attachment in richtext field

Thanks David,

I have already seen this post (an loads like it), but all it explains is how to get the URL to the attachment and then open it.

I want to be able to open the attachment in a richtext field on an xpage, not in it's own window. Sort of when you open an attachment in a frame of a frameset.

Maybe I'm missing it.. and I'm not that good at rich text stuff on xpages... but don't you build a link to the attachment and add something like target="_self" or something like that? I could be totally off base here though.

Re: Display attachment in richtext field

Hi David, thanks for the response........

This does not work. I have tried:

window.open("/inet.nsf/0/AEFFA9409ED0E1ED80257B1900556AB8/$file/xpages.pdf", "_parent");

And _top, _self, _blank All to no avail.

window.open() supports the following:

_blank - URL is loaded into a new window. This is default
_parent - URL is loaded into the parent frame
_self - URL replaces the current page
_top - URL replaces any framesets that may be loaded

As I do not have frames or framesets, the attachment opens entirely in a window, and not in the area of the xpage it was launched from.

Re: Display attachment in richtext field

I think I am going about this all wrong.....

What I am trying to do now is to put an iframe on a panel. My question now is how to I pass the URL of the attachment to the src= part of the iframe?

Re: Display attachment in richtext field

Nearly there now. I have passed the url to the page that contains the iFrame. How do I get the value of computedField1 into the src= part?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xp:view xmlns:xp="http://www.ibm.com/xsp/core">

<xp:this.beforePageLoad><![CDATA[#{javascript:viewScope.theValue=sessionScope.theValue;

sessionScope.theValue=null}]]></xp:this.beforePageLoad>

<xp:br></xp:br>

<xp:text escape="true" id="computedField1" value="#{javascript:viewScope.theValue}"></xp:text>

<xp:br></xp:br>

<xp:panel style="height:550px"><iframe id="docframe" src="THIS SHOULD BE THE VALUE OF computedField1" height="100%" width="100%" xp:key="facetMiddle">

</iframe></xp:panel>

<xp:eventHandler event="onClientLoad" submit="true"

refreshMode="norefresh"></xp:eventHandler></xp:view>

I don't do a lot with CSJS... but can't you just do:

src="#{javascript:viewScope.theValue}"

Certainly the answer would be on XPagesWiki.com if that's not it... possibly I have it on openntf in the xpages media reader as I was working with a client side video player....
