Remarks

If you are using this element to call a function that will use window.open to open a web resource, consider using the <Url> (RibbonDiffXml) action instead. With the <Url> action you can specify the Web resource using the $webresource directive to specify the web resource to open. This will allow the application to specify the URL to the cached web resource and will result in better performance, particularly if the web resource is an HTML web resource that hosts a Silverlight web resource.

Note

Opening entity forms in a dialog window using showModalDialog or showModelessDialog is not supported.
