_blank target links not working

[clapas]

Hi there,

I successfully integrated JCEF into my Java application and am able to load any webpage into the CEF frame.

_self targeted links work fine, however, when I click on a _blank targeted link or call window.open() to open a new window nothing happens.

I have attached a LifeSpanHandler to my CefClient but the methods, e.g. onBeforePopup(), are never called.

What am I missing?

Cheers,

Claudio

What OS and CEF version?

Thank you @magreenblatt

I did it!

I set a callback in Javascript to trigger my Java methods on the onclick event with a message router. It is a nice workoround.

Thank you for your answer @magreenblatt. I have asked several times here and, most of the time you or other members have been very helpful. However, I have one concern:

* by asking me about my OS and CEF versions are you meaning that what I do is correct, but may not work due to the versions used?

If so, it would be more helpfull to explicitly say so. You may argue that I waste your time not telling you these details, but I may argue the same for having to write all the details only to know whether my approach is intrinsically wrong or not (mainly because I will avoid changing my current version if possible). I will assume is not, but working on certainties is always more confortable than to do it on assumptions.

Thank you for your hard work.

Cheers,

may not work due to the versions used?

Correct. There may be bugs in older versions that have already been fixed, or bugs in newer versions that have not yet been reported. We can't take this into consideration without knowing what versions you're using.
