How to open a new browser window from ASPX page *RESOLVED*

[davidrobin]

I really could do with knowing how to open a new browser window with an aspx page from an aspx page.

I currently have a response.redirect call in the click event of a button. When the button is clicked i need to display an aspx page in a new window.

Sorry, did this in C# so just make the changes to your vb.net...

Instead of using Response.Redirect() declare a string with the following jscript code:

string scriptString = "<script language=JScript >";
scriptString += "window.open('[name of .aspx page]','_blank','menubar=no,resizable=no,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=no,height=400,width=650');";
scriptString += "</script>";

Then once you have this declared, use RegisterStartupScript()

if(!Page.IsStartupScriptRegistered("Startup"))
Page.RegisterStartupScript("Startup", scriptString);

You can look up the Window.Open() command on the MSDN at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ods/open_0.asp

Don't know if this works for Netscape. Worth a try though and hope this helps you.

That works an absolute treat.
I only had to make minimal changes and put all the code in the button click event.
I was wondering if some should go in form load and some in the button click but it works.

As for netscape, it is policy for all machines have IE so no problems there.

I keep it all in the click event. No need to have code all over the place when keeping it all local does the trick.

Glad to have helped.

Good to know I did it right then.

It worked so all is well.
