In SAS Visual Analytics, a web content object displays a web page or embedded video content in an inline frame (iframe). In order to use a web content object to execute a form, the form target must be set to _self.  If the target is not set to _self, then nothing happens when you submit or run the code.

For example, the SAS® Job Execution Web Application includes a sample job named Hello World. If you attempt to use Hello World with a web content object in SAS Visual Analytics, the Run code button does not respond. This behavior is by design in order to prevent another window from displaying. Opening additional windows is a potential security vulnerability.
