Posting data in a WebLink

Thanks Bob.

$modx->sendRedirect($url . ' target="_blank" ');

This didn't work but inserting in the Link attributes and using redirects to the remote page and displays in a new page successfully.

I have now used a php function instead of the Redirect in the snippet and it seems to be POSTing the data successfully to the remote site. I just have to wait to see if the other site is able to decode the data correctly.
Hopefully success
Thanks again for your great help.

Thanks! I guess that's why they're called "link attributes." I've never actually used that field.

PLEASE, PLEASE specify the version of MODX you are using.
MODX info for everyone: http://bobsguides.com/modx.html

They're also used in Wayfinder to specify a "container" top-level menu item that by default won't be given a URL if it has a submenu.

"The categoryFoldersTpl is used when the item is a folder, and either has the template set to blank or has in the link attributes field. The children of the item must be displayed for this template to be used as well."

Thanks Susan,
I didn't know that

rel="category"

could be used. Is there a resource which lists the properties that can be used as Link Attributes?

Thanks so much for the generous donation. I will indeed use it to buy several beers. You continue the trend of my receiving virtually all my donations from people who live outside the USA. I'm starting to think that there's something wrong with Americans.

Scroll down a bit to the "Optional" attributes. Interestingly, a target of "new" works the same as "_blank", and in fact I've had "_blank" replace with "new" automatically lately. Not sure where it's being replaced, and haven't been concerned enough to take the time to dig around for it. Probably a Revo URL cleaner of some kind.

(dratted eyes... missed Bob's link to the same site!)

From http://www.bloggertipsandtricks.com:
When you use the target="_blank" attribute for the hyperlink <a> tag, all links with that attribute will open in new windows or tabs. When you use the target="new" or target="anything" attribute, the first click on any link with that attribute will open in a new window called new or anything. Any subsequent click on any link with that attribute will open in the same window called new or anything.
