Notes tip - removing blank browser windows when launching notes:// URLs

Category Software Development

Another one of those "if I type it here, maybe I'll remember it next time..." tips...

I frequently use Notes URLs (notes://) to allow a webpage to launch a Notes database, document, or view.  I also have a habit of using a "target=_blank" parameter in many of my URLs.  But when you combine these two things, you end up getting your Notes document launched along with a blank browser window.  If you eliminate the target parameter, the Notes client fires up with no additional browser window activity.

I never said I was the sharpest knife in the drawer, OK?  :)

Gravatar Image2 - Good point...
