Opening Web Page Problem 1

[FontanaS]

I have the following code -

<!--NOW OPEN UP THE PDF FILE WEB PAGE AUTOMATICALLY-->
<script type="text/Javascript">
window.open("

http://172.26.104.141/CreditCard/PdfOrdersNew.Asp",

null);
</script>

<!--REDIRECT THE USER TO THE MAIN MENU-->
<%response.redirect("MainMenu.asp")%>

The problem is that the javascript does not work when i have the response.redirect available. IF I comment out the response redirect, the javascript works and a new web opens automatically, If I don't comment out the response redirect, no new web page opens at all.

that's because your response.redirect happens before the page is rendered (on the server side) while javascript occurs on the client side.

you can try something like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
// open window
window.open("[URL unfurl="true"]http://172.26.104.141/CreditCard/PdfOrdersNew.Asp",[/URL] 'w', '');

// redirect user
window.location = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://172.26.104.141/CreditCard/MainMenu.asp";[/URL]
</script>
