Response.Redirect() and Target=_blank

Hey folks,
I've done quite a bit of researching this evening on how to get around the fact that you can't use a client side "Target=bla bla" in a response.redirect. The only thing I found that may have been an option was to put the target in the form tag, but i'm using it in an .ascx file in VS.NET (using VB) and they don't use form tags. And the .ascx module is on a .aspx popup window. I don't want the next page to load up in that same popup window (which is what it will do if i dont' target the link).

Does anyone know a way around this. I tried using javascript with response.write, but that writes it in the top of the source html, but does nothing at all. Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks,
Cran56:confused:

A little unclear... do you want to target a certain window, or do you want a new window to open up from the currently open popup?

I want to target like in html target = _blank. And it needs to be server side controlled, because of what i'm passing and such. Thanks in advance for your help.

Once the parameters are set, use the codebehind (vb.net in your case) to write a javascript function to call the window.open() function, with your params specified.

I've tried...this is what I tried and it didn't work

VB Code:

If Session("sesCustID") Is Nothing Then
    strLocation = login.aspx
    Response.write("<Script Language=JavaScript>window.open('" & strLocation & "')</script>")
End If

it doesn't do anything but reload the current browser window.

Any ideas?

oh yea...the strLocation has "" around it strLocation = "login.aspx"
