Put your aSP function in a new ASP file.
In the onclick event of your textbox, put some javascript to open the ASP in a new file (window.open)

You can close the new window with the asp page by putting "window.close" in the the "onload" event

ok. but now i want to pass the value of textbox to the function or that new file. bcoz that value is to be used to get some values from database. how to do that?

use a querystring variable

e.g. mypage.asp?text1=blablabla

you can retrieve this value in your asp page:

request.Querystring("text1")
