Open browser window & passing values

[sthmpsn1]

How would you open a new browser window and pass values through the url at the same time??

use a query string.

http://www.myURL.com?id=data&Name=moredata

Tek-tips uses this as well just look at your address bar when your in a web site. I find the query string to be a very useful technique.

yeah I understand that, but that doesn't open a new browser window. here is my code

Dim sb As New StringBuilder()
sb.Append("newgoals.aspx?daname=&quot
sb.Append(Server.UrlEncode(theid))
sb.Append("&dayear=&quot
sb.Append(Server.UrlEncode(dayear))

Response.Redirect(sb.ToString)

Somewhere I need to have something like "Target="_blank" but I don't know how you would add this. any ideas?

put

javascript:window.open(

your url and your values, then

)

However, you'll have to set this as the onClick event of something on your page, or on some client side event to make it work.

I ran into this problem a while back. I don't remember ever finding a solution though.

I did however, find a workaround. Build up your string and write some javascript to the page using the statment
window.open(blahblah) where blahblah is your URL with query string. That'l do donkey, that'l do
