HTML preview: make it easier to "go back" to job view #26

Closed josteinaj closed 8 years ago

Don't think I understand. Does the back button of the browser not work maybe if you have previously clicked on page thumbnails?

josteinaj commented 8 years ago

Yes, as you navigate through the HTML preview, the fragment identifier in the browser changes, so you have to click "back" several times to get back to the job. I don't think something needs to change in the preview itself, it's nice to be able to refer to specific pages using fragments/anchors. I think maybe a solution would be to have the preview open in a new tab. Or maybe have a "back" link at the top of the html preview that takes you back to the previous URL, skipping all the anchors in your browser history (might need some javascript - I don't know).

I like opening the preview in a new tab.

A "back" link might work too although I don't have any idea how would that work.

josteinaj commented 8 years ago

Ok, let's do target="_blank" then. We can probably make all links open in a new tab - downloads will still just download; i.e. we don't need to check for an html file extension etc.

Closing this. Opened daisy/pipeline-webui#84.
