Opening a new window

[hpl]

When I use the code below my Windows XP OS blocks the new window. Is there a way to prevent this?

The code is written in vb.net:

Sub openNewWindow()
        Dim strScript As String = ""
        strScript = "<script>"
        strScript = strScript & "var winName= '';"
        strScript = strScript & "var w;"
        strScript = strScript & "var winFeatures = 'width=520,height=640,top=0,left=0,status,scrollbars';"
        strScript = strScript & "var winURL = 'http://www.vbdotnet.dk/abbreviations.aspx';"
        strScript = strScript & "w = window.open(winURL,winName,winFeatures);"
        strScript = strScript & "</script>"
        'Allows the alert box to be shown without wiping the controls off the page.
        Page.RegisterStartupScript("ClientScript", strScript)
    End Sub

It probably has something to do with the fact that it is done through VB. If you wrote it directly to the HTML document then let the HTML document execute normally, it would probably open.

Hi,

Its go nothing to do with the code at all. The code is actually pretty good indeed (wwell done. very iffiicient.) It is internet exporer that is blocking the pop up, disable this adn see what happens. If you still avhe any other problems, shout and will write code fo this operation in another language for you.
