Question

div open itself in a new window from a jsp?

Answer 1

A:

This shouldn't be too hard. I'm not sure if you have it set up so that the browser requests JSP files directly, but if so, something like this should work for you:

jsp-1.jsp:

<p>
  ...
  <a href="/jsp-1.jsp" target="_blank">Pop out</a>
</p>

Edit: re: your comment about losing the CSS and JS files, here's how I've solved this server-side. It's a little ugly, but it works just fine.

template.jsp:

<html>
<head>
...
</head>
<body>
   <c:set var="ContentOnly" value="true" scope="request"/>
   <div>
      <jsp:include page="jsp-1.jsp" />
   </div>
   <div>
      <jsp:include page="jsp-2.jsp" />
   </div>
   <c:remove var="ContentOnly" scope="request"/>
</body>
</html>

jsp-1.jsp:

<c:if test="${(empty ContentOnly) or (not ContentOnly)}">
    <html>
    <head>
    ...
    <!-- jsp-1 required CSS and JS here -->
    <!-- these will only be included when the page is requested as "standalone" -->
    ...
    </head>
    <body>
</c:if>
    ...
    <!-- jsp-1 content here -->
    ...
<c:if test="${(empty ContentOnly) or (not ContentOnly)}">
    </body>
    </html>
</c:if>

the problem is that it looses all of the styles, scripts etc. since its just an html snippet. When displayed inside the template jsp, jsp-1.jsp would grap all this from the template's header. Gotta come up with something around this.

@aeq: you can fix that either client-side (with some JavaScript) or server-side (with JSTL). If you go for the client side option, you just need a snippet of JS that fetches the missing CSS and JS files from the server, depending on the value of `window.location` or similar. Server-side, I've solved the problem a bit more hackishly (see my answer edit [pending]).

@aeq: edit's done.
