Syntax

SemiDynamicPageDisplay(<Page name> , <Identifier> [, <Destination> [, <Window name> [, <Options> [, <Width> [, <Height> [, <Horizontal position> [, <Vertical position> [, <JavaScript parameters>]]]]]]]])

<Page name>: Character string

Name of semi-dynamic WEBDEV page to display.

<Identifier>: Character string

Unique identifier of page to display. If this parameter corresponds to an empty string (""), the first semi-dynamic page is displayed. This identifier is specified in the page description (for more details, see the Notes)

<Destination>: Optional character string or constant

Name of target frame. <Target> can also take the following values:
CurrentBrowser the target is the current browser.
This parameter can also correspond to the "_top" string (compatibility with WEBDEV 1.5).
CurrentFrame the target is the current frame (default value).
This parameter can also correspond to the "_self" string (compatibility with WEBDEV 1.5).
NewBrowser the target is a new browser (a new browser window is opened). The following parameters of SemiDynamicPageDisplay are used to configure this new window.
This parameter can also correspond to the "_blank" string (compatibility with WEBDEV 1.5).
ParentFrame the target is the container of the current page (parent frameset, parent browser).
This parameter can also correspond to the "_parent" string (compatibility with WEBDEV 1.5).

<Window name>: : Optional character string

Window name in the new browser if <Target> is set to the NewBrowser constant. This parameter allows you to redisplay a page in a browser with the same name (if several browsers are opened on the computer of Web user).

<Options>: Optional Integer constant (or combination of constants)

Window parameters in the new browser if <Target> is set to the NewBrowser constant:
ONFull
(Default value) The window of new browser will include all options (equivalent to the combination of all constants)
ONLink The link bar will be displayed
ONLocation The address bar will be displayed
ONMenuBar The menu bar will be displayed
ONResizable The window of new browser will be resizable
ONSatusBar The status bar will be displayed
ONScrollbar The scrollbars will be displayed
ONSimple The window of the new browser will be a simple window (no combination of constants).
ONToolbar The toolbar will be displayed

<Width>: Optional integer

Width of window in the new browser (in pixels).

<Height>: Optional integer

Height of window in the new browser (in pixels).

<Horizontal position>: Optional integer

Horizontal position (in pixels) of the window in the new browser (in relation to the upper-left corner of the screen).

<Vertical position>: Optional integer

Vertical position (in pixels) of the window in the new browser (in relation to the upper-left corner of the screen).

<JavaScript parameters>: Optional character string

Other JavaScript parameters that must be used when opening a new browser if <Target> is equal to the NewBrowser constant. For example, "dependent = 1" is used to force the closing of the new browser if the current browser is closed.

Remarks

Semi-dynamic page

Reminder: A semi-dynamic page is a page created in WEBDEV that can be used to display data. From this page, WEBDEV generates as many static pages as necessary. These static pages contain the data to display.

Each static page has a unique name built from the name of the static page and from an identifier.

This identifier is specified in the page description (identification item in the "General" tab). This identifier can correspond to:

a Unique Key item.
the generation number of the page (1 for the first page, 2 for the second page, etc.).

Multilingual

SemiDynamicPageDisplay automatically sends the language of the current page to the WEBDEV site to be displayed. Therefore, if the current page is in French (Nation(5)), the WEBDEV site will be started in French.

Choosing the target

To choose the target of the file, we recommend that you use the <Target> parameter of SemiDynamicPageDisplay rather than ChangeTarget. Indeed, in this case, the corresponding JavaScript code is smaller and the size of your pages is optimized.
