invoice pdf should open in new window

[richcowan]

You lose the phpaga menu links when the pdf opens in the same window. Then it is confusing what to do next.

I was able to fix this by editing the bill.tpl.html file, line 22, to the following:

<form action="bill_pdf.php" method="get" target="_blank" onsubmit="hideElement('printbill');">

I now see that this was previously addressed in ticket #62, hxxp://phpaga.net/ticket/62

However ticket #62 does not specify what the actual change was.

After thinking about this I think it makes sense to open in a new window if Javascript is off, as user can always save to disk later.

However the default behavior (javascript on) could be a nice dialog box similar to Firefox when you click on a word doc link:

Generating Invoice

Invoice generated for [companyname]. What would you like to do with this PDF Document?

[*] Open in a new window [ ] Save to disk

What do you think?

also a modification is needed to bills.tpl.php, line 51. Here is an example of how to make it open the pdf in a new browser window:

<form action="bill_pdf.php" method="get" onsubmit="hideElement('printbill');" target="_blank">

Again this improves the navigation for the site.
