View HelpWindow: internal links in help modify browser window.location

[bwbohl]

Navigating the help with internal links alters the address in the browsers address line. to e.g. http://localhost:8080/exist/#helpWindow-1059view.window.source.SourceView_viewMenu

[bwbohl]

could you please help locating the error?

@bwbohl is this still an issue?

[bwbohl]

at least in https://edition.freischuetz-digital.de/
in https://klarinettenquintett.weber-gesamtausgabe.de/ which probably is the latest deployment the help button is actually missing completely

fix links as described in #387 or test with the updated implementation of text transformations in dev, first.

Hi @riedde , for what reason do you introduced the <base target="_blank"/> in

Edirom-Online/add/index.xql

Line 86 in fc3baf8

<base target="_blank"/>)

This prevents the internal links in text files (so the help also) to work. I know, that we need a better mechanism which does not alter the browser address line, but for the moment…

@roewenstrunk I didn't really introduced this, I took it from the old index.html, I guess. Have you testes if the edirom starts without this element?

this issue was mistakenly used to start a discussion about broken internal links. for this reason a new issue #498 taking care about internal links that are not working was created. this issue #24 stays open as a feature request and the bug-label is deleted.

This apparently is due to the default _self that’s being applied to anchor elements. I’m currently working on this
