openURL - popup window works but same window and parent window do not

openURL - popup window works but same window and parent window do not

I have multiple stateless forms embedded in my website. When the first form is completed the user presses a button which is supposed to load the next form.

I am using  - openUrl("#Form:Client_Information_SL?Client=" + input.Client_search, "same window"); behind the button.

When I click the button which runs the openURL command nothing happens. If I change "same window" to "popup window", the correct form is loaded as a popup and overlays the previous form. In other words, the "popup window" parameter acts as expected. Unfortunately, the popup solution is not an option for a number of reasons. I have tried with other parameters including, "parent window" which doesn't do anything either, and "new window" which correctly loads a new window but loads the same form that the button click originated from instead of the expected form.

I have also tried embedding the stateless forms in HTML views but the result is the same. I have tried this with Chrome, Explorer and Opera with the same results.

I feel like this should be easy....am I overlooking something?

Thanks for your help.
