Opening Another Web Page Automatically

FontanaS · Jul 19, 2006

Hi!

I have a form, when the user selects "submit" i would like to have another web page open automatically and pass ome variables to it.

The code i have below is to open another web page and pass variables using a LINK. However, i do not know hgow to modify it so it opens automatically.

<a href="ProjectAccounts.Asp?FiscalYearChosen=<%=server.urlencode(Session("ComboYears"))%>&FinAppropId=<%=server.urlencode(RS("FinAppropId"))%>&FinProjectId=<%=server.urlencode(RS("FinProjectId"))%>&FinContractAct=<%=server.urlencode(RS("FinContractAct"))%>&%>" target="_blank"> <font face="Tahoma" color="black" size="2">Detail</a></font>

I really don't know that what you're trying to do w/o using a little scripting. Here's some javascript to open up a window to a different page when the main page opens. However, it is subject to all the popup blockers that are out now-a-days.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

function theOtherPage() {
   var a = window.open("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.google.com");[/URL]
}

window.onload = theOtherPage;

</script>

<body>
<p>Hi, I'm Mr. Page #1, google should be coming right up</p>
</body>

If that's not what you're looking for then you might wanna check out the ASP command Response.Redirect, but that won't open a new window.

I agree with this...use the javasrcipt and put your response.writes in there to modify the page that opens.

hmm..... after re-reading my last post my first sentence doesn't make any sense, what I meant to say was:
