    As in a new browser window? That isn't something that is currently possible with Editor I'm afraid. It might be with a custom display controller, but I'm not certain about that since the DOM for the form, and all event handlers are attached in the context of the current window - in fact, thinking about it, even with a custom display controller, I don't believe it would be possible for that reason.

    The editor form needs to be shown on the same page I'm afraid.

    so maybe if i want to pass value from a raw in my table, to another page ?
    somthing like edit.php + 'id' , that all the value from the raw will pass on to the other page //
    is this something that can be done ?

    Yes absolutely. You can use a renderer to create the edit link in the DataTable. If you then wanted to use Editor on the new page you could use it in standalone mode.

    I'm afraid I don't have an example of that at the moment. I'll try to write it up in a blog post as you aren't the only one to ask about this, but I'm afraid I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to do it.
