Change Link Target property for Jump to URL action

Question

I'm using SSRS208R2 to create reports. I display these reports using a ReportViewer control in my web application.

some of the fields in my table are tags that user javascript:void window.open... to opent a link in a new window. I use Jump to URL action for my placeholders to achieve that.

The Problem:

1. My report is displayed in a separate domain.
2. ReportViewer Control renders the tags with target='_top' property.
3. IE will not let any href='javascript:void alert....' action to run from a different domain Iframe if the target is _top.

---

Questions:

1. is there a way to define a different target for an anchor tag - i have search some places and found that the SSRS web application can use rc:LinkTarget=_Blank to chage all the targets but that dosent seem to work for me. are there any other possible solutions?

2. Can anyone suggest a different approach to open a link in a new window that will not hit a wall when the report is displayed from an Iframe on a different domain ?

Answer 1

Solved!

I tried the query string "rc:LinkTarget" at the built in reporting services web interface.. and that did not work for me initially.

Then I tried to changed the location of that parameter and it worked.. I really don't think that that was it maybe there was a spelling error or something, anyway...

So I did some more digging and found that the report viewer control has the same property called LinkTarget I used it to define an empty string and everything works fine.

Cheers...
