Web Client: Reporter - External Documentation Links Do Not Work

[John Amundson]

Tested in Web Client 3.0.8 and 3.0.10
Observed in both Chrome and Firefox

If a report template includes an external documentation link, clicking the link does not work. Instead of opening the document, the Reports interface simply reloads. If opening the link in a new tab, another instance of the Report interface is opened in the new tab.

This happens on templates regardless of where they were created, (xul or web).

I removed some logic relating to a xulG object that doesn't appear to be needed any longer. Is there any reason it should still be there?

My patch for testing is here:

I have tested this code and consent to signing off on it with my name, John Amundson and my email address, <email address hidden>.

The code was tested on a 3.2.3 system that has a XUL client built for it. External Documentation links worked in both versions of the staff client, (web and XUL).

Thank you for your work on this, Terran.

Pushed to master, rel_3_2, and rel_3_1, for reporters everywhere!

Thanks, Terran and John!
