.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / April 2008Opening a new window when button clicked
When placing a link using html, it's easy to have a new window opened for the link instead of redirecting the current page to the destination. IE: <a href="../folder5/anotherpage.aspx" target=_blank>Another Page</a> I've placed a button on the page that I would like to have do the same thing: <asp:button id="btnAnotherPageLink" runat="Server" text="Another Page" /> Protected Sub btnAnotherPageLink_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnActiveDialup.Click Response.Redirect("../folder5/anotherpage.aspx") End Sub This will cause the current page to navigate to the destination page. How can I have a new window open up and load the destination page instead? TIA, Jim buttons do a form submit. you set the target on the form to control this. asp.net forms do not allow the target to be set, so yo must use a non-server form, or use javascript to set the target. -- bruce (sqlwork.com) > When placing a link using html, it's easy to have a new window opened for > the link instead of redirecting the current page to the destination.
