open new ie window with asp

[Maartin]

Hi there,
I need to open a new IE window with asp.
Is there anybody out there who can help me ?

Thanks.

You cant. Use client-side JavaScript.

heh.. ya..

function window_onload() {
window.open("MyNewPage.asp", "", "status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no")
}


That will open a new IE instance with no status bar, toolbar, or menubar. tweak away...

So there absolutly no way that I can do it ?

I wish I could do it on the client side but I need to check the session vars etc and bassed on that I need to open page(s).

The code is java script man. I need to make the choice on the server and not at the client.

Thanks for the help guys.

Well, the ASP will generate client-side javascript based on the server-side variables. That's what ASP is all about: Generating client-side code for the browser to read.

Why would you open an instance of IE on the server?

<code>
<% If Session("sUID") = "" Then %>
function window_onload() {
window.open("MyNewPage.asp", "", "status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no")
}
<% End If %>
</code>

Unless you devise a way to skip some processing if the new window has been opened, you will have to split it because opening a new window requires that whatever page that gets loaded be loaded from the beginning. So, if you load the same page, it will simply keep opening windows until the user ran out of memory or stopped it.
