Opening a new window when button clicked

[Jim in Arizona]

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.asp x" target=_blank>A nother Page</a>

I've placed a button on the page that I would like to have do the same
thing:

<asp:button id="btnAnotherP ageLink" runat="Server" text="Another Page" />

Protected Sub btnAnotherPageL ink_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles btnActiveDialup .Click
Response.Redire ct("../folder5/anotherpage.asp x")
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

RE: Opening a new window when button clicked

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.

After some searching, I found that adding this to the Page_Load sub did the
trick:

btnAnotherPageL ink.Attributes. Add("onClick",
"window.open('. ./folder5/anotherpage.asp x')")

Or alternatively:

<asp:Button ID="btnAnotherP ageLink" runat="server" Text="Another Page"
OnClientClick=" window.open('../folder5/anotherpage.asp x');return false;" />

Don't forget the semi-colons at the end of each JavaScript statement...
