ASP window.open not working without activating pop up blokker

[leifoet]

The FP-code below works only if the user turns off the pop up blocker. This is very annoying.

<!--#include file="_fpclass/fpdblib.inc"-->
<%
fp_sQry="SELECT * FROM members WHERE (username = '::username::' AND password = ':assword::')"
fp_sDefault="username=&password="
fp_sDataConn="TEST"
fp_iMaxRecords=256
fp_iCommandType=1
fp_iPageSize=0
fp_fTableFormat=False
fp_fMenuFormat=False
fp_sMenuChoice="username"
fp_sMenuValue="username"
fp_iDisplayCols=19
fp_fCustomQuery=True
BOTID=0
fp_iRegion=BOTID
%>
<!--#include file="_fpclass/fpdbrgn1.inc"-->
<%Session("uid")=cStr(fp_rs("member-ID"))
%>
<!--#include file="_fpclass/fpdbrgn2.inc"-->
<%
IF Session("UID")&"" = "" then ' the session is empty
response.redirect("url_exit.htm")
ELSE
url = "zyx5.htm"
response.write("<script>" & vbCrLf)
response.write("window.open('" & url & "');" & vbCrLf)
response.write("</script>")
END IF

Is it possible to make the code work without the pop up problem ?
Thanks for tips.

"window.open('" & url & "');

Is a question for forum216 NOT ASP.

Sorry for the wrong forum.
I do not understand it so well:
is "window.open('" & url & "');
not the same as response.write("window.open('" & url & "');" & vbCrLf)

response.write("text") sends a text stream to the connected browser, in this case it is sending a line of javascript.

ASP runs on the server so cannot open a browser window directly.

Do I have to change something about this code to avoid the popup question ?
response.write("window.open('" & url & "');" & vbCrLf)

Thanks

This is what pop-blockers are intended to stop, so no.

Use CSS and trigger the display of an high z-index, absolutely positioned block element.
