Opening a new window from asp

avivit · Feb 24, 2004

Hi,

I'd like to redirect from a certain page, to an external page(an external site), with certain parameters. of that window.

There is nothing to do if using response.redirct,
but is there another option?

For example, I would like to open a new window, that will have a cerain dimensions, and that the url of that window is...
In javascript it is not a problem of course.
What shall I do in asp???

you could response.redirect to an ASP page on your site that could then execute the necessary javascript to open the new window.

Response.Redirect "mypage.asp?newwindow=true"

and then in mypage.asp...

Code:

&lt;HTML&gt;
&lt;HEAD&gt;

&lt;% If Request.QueryString(&quot;newwindow&quot;) &lt;&gt; &quot;&quot; Then %&gt;
&lt;SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JAVASCRIPT&quot;&gt;
window.open('[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.mewurl.com','MyNewWindow','top=0,[/URL] left=0, width=600, height=400, etc...')
&lt;/SCRIPT&gt;
&lt;% End If %&gt;

That's a good idea.

Is it also possible to use response.write for opening a new window in javascript?

I have a function in javascript that can open that window.
But how can I use a response.write to get to this function,
without a trigger?

do you mean like this?

Code:

&lt;% 
If Request.QueryString(&quot;newwindow&quot;) &lt;&gt; &quot;&quot; Then
  Response.Write &quot;&lt;SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JAVASCRIPT'&gt;&quot; &amp; vbcrlf &amp; _
                 &quot;window.open('[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.abc.com','MyNewWindow',window[/URL] settings here)&quot; &amp; vbcrlf &amp; _
                 &quot;&lt;/SCRIPT&gt;&quot; &amp; vbcrlf
End If 
%&gt;

or to call your javascript function...

Code:

&lt;% 
If Request.QueryString(&quot;newwindow&quot;) &lt;&gt; &quot;&quot; Then
  Response.Write &quot;&lt;SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JAVASCRIPT'&gt;&quot; &amp; vbcrlf &amp; _
                 &quot;YourFunction();&quot; &amp; vbcrlf &amp; _
                 &quot;&lt;/SCRIPT&gt;&quot; &amp; vbcrlf
End If 
%&gt;

What determines when the user is sent to this new site in this new window? Do they have to click anything or is it determined by something else?

I now recalled that one can use:

if xx = "blabla" then

%>
<script language = JavaScript>
functionName();
</script>
<%

End if

But I like your idea very much.
This is totally new to me.
I never thought to leave it all inside the asp tags.

Great idea.
Thanks very much...
