Open Download event in new window

I have a small form where on submit, the form opens an inline download - how do I get this to open in a new blank window?

Hi,

You should use some javascript to open a new window with the link to the file download.

I am not massively experienced with javascript - could you provide an example and where I should put it?

Here are some hints:

#1- add the JS code inside "load JS" action in the "on submit" event.
#2- Add the File downloader action inside a new form event, call it "download" for example.
#3- the JS code should open a new window and the window URL should be the form URL + "&event=download".

JS code example from Google:

popupWindow = window.open('FORM_URL_HERE','name','width=200,height=200');
popupWindow.focus();

I have tried putting the js in, but the form doesn't have a url because it is a plugin inside an article. Also, file downloader doesn't allow me to enter a name for the action...any ideas?

Hi,

Please copy the form URL from the "Frontend view" link in the forms manager.

I mean to create a new form event then drag your file downloader inside that new event, so that the download is accessible through:

form_frontend_viewlink_here&event=download

I successfully managed to set up the download (open link)function, but the problem is that it opens in a popup rather than a new window or tab, and popups can be blocked. Any help would be appreciated.
