LinkButton Question

[stevenk140]

I have a dynamic LinkButton and I wanted to do a number of things with it.

1. Open a new window when it is selected.
2. Pass it parameters not in the query string (since it will have many different params ie. an arraylist...)

How would I do this?

Thanks for any help/suggestions you may have.

To open a new window onclick of a link button:

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
 if(myLinkButton.Attributes["onclick"] == null)
 {
  myLinkButton.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:window.open('newWin.aspx')");
 }
}

About passing parameters to a new window but not in the query string: adding to Session will do.

Is there a way to do this not using javascript?

For example, on a button click, I need to use items entered into a list box, then pass them off to my next page.

Could I build a query string on button click then open the window?

Pass them off to my next page which will replace the existing one, not a pup up?

A new browser window will be created.

So I need to create the query string dynamically based on selected items in a list box (hopefully not using javascript).

steven: Here's a snippet on how to pass varibles via java and open a page at the same time:

</STRONG><FONT color=&quot;blue&quot;>Sample Date:</FONT>
<asp:textbox id=&quot;txtSampleDate&quot; runat=&quot;server&quot; Width=&quot;70px&quot;/>
<a href=&quot;javascript:GetDate('txtSampleDate','<%=Session(&quot;SDate&quot%>')&quot;>
<img src=&quot;./Images/SmallCalendar.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /></a>

I have a small icon image (gif) which the user &quot;click&quot; on, you can Add this attribute to a button instead - and then a window is opened to the requisit URL and variables from the page passed. Here it is a Session variable.

The corresponding Java function is:

function GetDate(CtrlName, SampleDate){
ChildWindow = window.open('Calendar.aspx?FormName=' + document.forms[0].name + '&CtrlName=' + CtrlName + '&SDate=' + SampleDate, &quot;PopUpCalendar&quot;, &quot;width=270,height=300,top=200,left=200,toolbars=no,scrollbars=no,status=no,resizable=no&quot;
}

...one method.

Adding target=_blank to the <form> tag will probably do.
