deployJava.js - opening in a new window

Question

I am using deployJava.js from Oracle's deployment toolkit to deploy and run an applet. If java is not installed, the current page is redirected to the download Java Page. I do want to redirect the user to the download Java Page, however, I would like this to happen in a new window. Redirecting it in the same page means my session is lost which I don't want happening. Is there a way to do this?

Give this a try:

Oracle provides a human-readable version of the js file here: https://www.java.com/js/deployJava.txt

EDIT: [

Change the location.href page navigation code within here:

IEInstall: function() {

    location.href = constructGetJavaURL(
       ...);
     return false;
},

done: function (name, result) {
},

FFInstall: function() {

    location.href = constructGetJavaURL(
       ...);
     return false;
},

to these:

window.open(constructGetJavaURL(...));

You might have to mess around with that code a bit, I can't try it out myself. ]
