Bug 29847

This bug report originated from issue QTBUG-2162 http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-2162 --- Description --- QWebView QWebPage - mainframe()-evaluateJavaScript("window.open('url')") doesn't open new browser window. When calling evaluateJavaScript("window.open('url')) on a mainFrame() or just load a webpage containing <script>window.open('http://www.trolltech.com/');</script> should open a new window containing the webpage. This is due to QWebView::createWindow() not creating a new window by default. We should consider adding a property to QWebView that enables the default implementation to create new QWebView instances, something along the lines of a 'bool autoCreateWindows' property. - How to reproduce: 1. Build and compile the code. 2. Start the application - Expected result: Two windows should appear. One containing the Trolltech webpage and one saying foo... ect. - Actual result: Only the last page containing: foo...before calling open foo...after calling open. A new window should have popped up showing the Trolltech webpage. Test case main.cpp for above ============================= class MainWidget : public QWidget { Q_OBJECT public: MainWidget(); private: QWebPage *page; QWebView *view; }; MainWidget::MainWidget(){ view = new QWebView(this); page = new QWebPage(this); QUrl url("test.html"); page->settings()->setAttribute(QWebSettings::JavascriptEnabled,true); // Make sure JavaScript is enabled page->mainFrame()->load(url); // Load the test case view->setPage(page); QVariant variant = page->mainFrame()->evaluateJavaScript("window.open('http://www.trolltech.com/');"); qDebug() << variant.toString(); // This doesn't return anything either. QVBoxLayout *layout = new QVBoxLayout; layout->addWidget(view); setLayout(layout); } int main(int argc, char *argv[]){ QApplication app(argc, argv); MainWidget mainWid; mainWid.show(); return app.exec(); } --- Comments --- Does this still occur when setting the property QWebSettings::JavascriptCanOpenWindows ?
