Anyone ever used Active Desktop with a webpage? *SOLVED*

[ndee]

That's my desktop

Now, how can I make that the Active Desktop doesn't open a new window(it should stay in the same little window on the desktop) as soon as I hit a button on that webpage?

Thanks in advance.





UPDATE: It works! Huh, my co-worker ROCKS! If you use the set the target = "_self", it stays in the little window! THE BOMB!

Avoid using in-place navigation controls. Active Desktop items are meant to be lightweight and therefore have no navigation controls available for the user to move backward and forward. By default, clicking a link inside an Active Desktop item creates a new browser window. The intended purpose of an Active Desktop item is to provide quick summary information and an easy browser-launching mechanism if the user wants more information. Therefore, authors shouldn't create in-place navigation controls, and they shouldn't depend on the Back and Forward commands being available to the item. Active Desktop item authors should not make any assumptions about the context in which the item is running.

Fvckin' useless POS.

can't you use scripting to set the url of the browser window?

That's not the problem. The problem is with the "add" button, the task should be added, it jumps to another page which makes the DB entry and then goes back to the index. But that's not possible as it seems. Bleh.

so it's actually from a web server? does it accept GET variables in the URL? maybe you can embed it in the url

I'm using the POST method. But as soon as you hit something in that little window, it opens up a new browser, SO retarded IMO.
