From that section of the help manual...

"By default, the SubmitForm method will direct any response from the web
server to a special hidden
frame that Elevate Web Builder includes to suppress any output from the
submittal. This is done to
prevent the web browser from navigating away from the Elevate Web Builder
application itself. If you
want to display the output from the HTML form submittal process, or track
when the submittal is
completed, you can use the TForm or TPanel's FormOutputPage property to do
so. This property allows
you to specify a TPage control that will receive the web server response to
the HTML form submittal. In
addition, you can assign an event handler to the TPage OnLoad event to
determine when the web server
response has been loaded into the frame encapsulated by the TPage control."

I am trying to build an order system that will then post the form variables
to a paypal script, I can get that
far but the resulting output in the FormOutpage (TPage) is :  "This content
cannot be displayed in a frame".
If I click "Open this content in a new window" when I get the regular
www.paypal.com page which is
not what I want.

How can I accomplish this or else just DO navigate away from the Elevate Web
Builder application itself,
which is actually what I want to do but according to the manual quote above
EWB is determined not
to allow that.  The FormURL is 'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr'

Web sites can send back this header:

X-Frame-Options: Deny

which prevents IE from displaying the content in a frame in order to prevent
"clickjacking":

If you want to navigate to another location, just use something like this:

uses WebDOM;

procedure TTestForm.NavigateButtonClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
 window.location.href:='http://www.mydomain.com/mydocument.html';
end;

If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Tim,

I don't get a url to go to the output of paypal's script needs to be
displayed in the browser as it is populated
with variable from my form submission, it's basically a checkout page at
that point.  I don't need to stay
within the EWB application at that point, all I want is that the user gets
to the page generated by paypal's
script.

Am I going to be able to accomplish that with EWB ?

You're not going to be able to put such content into a frame, so no, that
means that using a TPage for directing the output is a no-go.  But, again,
this has nothing to do with EWB's "capabilities", rather it's a restriction
put in place by IE and the PayPal web pages for security reasons.  IOW, you
couldn't do this with any type of app/page that tries to nest the PayPal
checkout web pages inside of a frame.  It simply can't be done.

If the checkout page is the response to the form submittal, then there's
really no way to do what you want in an EWB application.  There's just no
way to mix the two in a way that won't run up against that security
restriction.  The security restriction basically restricts you to using a
normal page-oriented submittal form for the variables that triggers a page
reload on submittal.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Tim,

Will you consider adding a Target property to THTMLForm with possible values of Output, Top, Blank? Output would be the default. If Output is selected, then the form output would appear in the selected Output control. If Blank is selected, then the form output would appear in a new browser window. If Top is selected, then the form output would appear in the current browser window, causing the EWB application to be unloaded.

David,

Sure, I can see about adding that.

Yes, but I need to squeeze in some time to do so.  I need to do a 2.06 update to fix the TCalendar control soon, so I will see about adding it then.  If not, then it will be added in 3.x.
