Can someone point me to some code that will open a new browser window from my website via a button.

On my website I select a menu option that opens a page with a button on it. When I select the button I don't want the new page to be loaded in the current page, but into a separate new page so that when I close this new page I can continue on the current page which has the button on.

Thanks

Either add this javascript code through Attributes.Add(), in the handler for the button use Response.Write() to send it back to the browser or use an html button and wire up this code for the onClick event.

window.open();

Thanks for the reply. After some trial and error I have finally worked out what it meant and will share it with anyone else who might what to do the same thing :-


Method 1.
Add this javascript code through Attributes.Add(), in the handler for the button use Response.Write() to send it back to the browser :-

In this example I have a button (Button2) to open a new window for my photo album.
In the code behind :-

 Partial Class DefaultVb
     Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

     Protected Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
         Response.Write(" ")
     End Sub

     Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
         Button2.Attributes.Add("onclick", "window.open('http://www.braybrookefc.co.uk/Match/PhotoAlbumVb.aspx', 'popupwindow', 'width=800,height=600,scrollbars,resizable')")
         'Button2.Style.Add("background-color", "red")
     End Sub
 End Class

In the .aspx file
    <asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" OnClick="Button2_Click" Text="Goto Album" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="Red" BorderColor="Blue" BorderStyle="Outset" BorderWidth="2px" BackColor="White" />

Method 2.
Use an html button and wire up this code for the onClick event :-

In this example, I wanted to open a new window when a link to another website is selected.

      <asp:Hyperlink ID="Hyperlink1" Runat="server"
          NavigateUrl="http://www.eastberkshirefootballleague.co.uk/"
          onclick="window.open (this.href, 'popupwindow',
          'width=800,height=600,scrollbars,resizable');
          return false;">East Berks Football League Website
      </asp:Hyperlink>

I hope this can help.
