buttonClickEvent side effects?

Posted: Thu Apr 01, 2010 1:41 pm

I have a datatable ( scrolling data table ) in which I have a column whose data is a URL, but I have created a formatter that shows it as a "<button>" with a label. "elCell.innerHTML = '<button >Click Here</button >'".

I also have the following function:

Code:

 Y.notesDataTable.subscribe( "buttonClickEvent", function(oArgs){
        var elButton = oArgs.target;
        var oRecord = this.getRecord(elButton);
        var myData = oRecord.getData();
        window.open( myData.ref_url, 'Orig', 'address=yes,toolbar=yes,scrollbars=yes,location=yes,statusbar=yes,menubar=yes,resizable=yes', true );
        alert( "got here" );
        return true;
    });

As expected, I get a new window containing the contents of the web page pointed to by myData.ref_url, and I get the alert message now that I have added it for debugging.

What I also seem to be getting is a reload of the whole page enclosing the Data Table, which is NOT wanted.

I have tried "return false" and "return true" with no effect.

The API documentation doesn't say anything about the effect of buttonClickEvent, only that it fires.

I am sure that this will look like Javascript 101, but it is unexpected, to me at least, and I would appreciate guidance.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Brian
