Pop Up in ASP.net

[need2progm]

I know how to do this in old asp...but how do I get an a Response.Redirect (in vb code behind) to pop a new window with intended .aspx page? [on_click event]

Thanks

No can do. You need to send some javascript back to the client Response.Redirect doesn't support this.

use a stringbuilder to build a javascript script. Then use the RegisterStartupScript method to add the new script to the page. That'l do donkey, that'l do

I have never used StringBuilder ....I found some other examples in past threads... is this what I want?

Dim sbPop As New StringBuilder()
sbPop.Append(&quot;<Script Language=Javascript>&quot
sbPop.Append(&quot;<a href=&quot;&quot; onclick='window.open('PopUpWindow.aspx')'value='open'>&quot
sbPop.Append(&quot;</Script>&quot
RegisterStartupScript(&quot;Open Window&quot;, sbPop.ToString())
sbPop = Nothing

What is RegisterStartupScript?


Quick note:
I was able to get a popup using 'spaghetti' code...warning it's ugly

<a href=&quot;&quot; onclick='window.open(&quot;PopUpWindow.aspx&quot' >
<asp:Button id=&quot;btnEdit&quot; style=&quot;Z-INDEX: 117; LEFT: 40px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 368px&quot; runat=&quot;server&quot; Height=&quot;48px&quot; Text=&quot;Edit Answer&quot; Width=&quot;104px&quot;>
</asp:Button>
</a>


I want to do this a beter way.

Thanks
