How to: Dropdownlist selection creates popup in ASP.NET ??

[ssilcox]

Ok - here is my conundrum.
I cannot for the life of me (using msgbox, or anything else) figure out how to do this. I need to popup a specified asp page with vbscript, depending on which dropdownlist selection a user picks.
So onselectedindexchanged I have it jump to a Sub, but from there I need to language to create a popup. With java this would be easy, but VBS is giving me headaches! Any help?
Thanks so much!!!

What sort of "pop up" are we talking about? Like a small browser window without the menu and buttons?

Not sure what you have in mind.

Also, this doesn't sound very ".Net" if you're using VBScript.

Hmm, and you might try HTML or ASP forums to get a quicker answer. This sounds pretty browserish.

BTW: You mention "Java" but did you mean JavaScript? There's a world of difference. ;-)

Yes, popup a new browser window with a specific page dependant upon which item they choose.
And I am using a VBS subroutine within my .NET app... maybe there is a better way?
(Javascript... sorry)

Ok. Well a quick answer is to look over the article at:

I think you'll find it's about the same thing you'd do in JavaScript/JScript. The only real differences are the basic language syntax.
