OnClick event handler to show PDF file?

[Todd Cary]

[The code is running in PHP]

Currently, I have a Link to show a PDF file

<? print('Click <a href="' . $url . $sfyc_race_schd _send . '" Name="Race
Schedule" Target="_blank" >here</a> to open the Race Schedule'); ?>

I want to replace it with a button and an OnClick()

<?
print('<input type="button" name = "View Schedule" OnClick="">');
?>

I cannot get the syntax correct for the OnClick. Is this the best way
to use a button for the task?

<? ... onclick="window .open( \''. $url . $sfyc_race_schd _send.'\'
,\'_blank\' ); " ... ?>

should pop-open your file just like the link.

Ivo -

Many thanks! I got the OnClick() to work in bringing up the file, but
what I really needed was the new window!!
