TT output to a new browser window or tab

Hello,

I am using TT to create a report. I have found how to direct it's output to
a file. Can anyone point me to how to output it to a new browser window or
tab? Equivalent to clicking on a link that includes target="_blank".

TIA,
Chris

If you want the output in in a new browser window, then making a link:
<a href="catalyst_url_here" target="_blank">
seems the right way to go.
Catalyst will then be responding to new request when the user clicks on
the link.

Is the original report you are wanting to start from in html?

Yes, it is html for now, other formats later as options based on the html.

What in need to know is how can I "fork" from within Catalyst to do this. I
have a form collect some options. The user hits submit. This window shows a
result (Ok, Error), and a go home button. The report is created and opened
into another window.

Thanks again,
Chris

This would be a JavaScript thing. Compute the report, cache it
somewhere, and return the "it worked" page. That page should do
window.open() to some action that returns the cached report.

However, I'm not sure that you can do this in the day and age of popup
blockers. YMMV.
