Wanna open a new window on a button click. 4

[qwert231]

I have a ASP.Net button that does some code when it's clicked, but I would also like it to open a new window with another page in it. How can I have that fire from ASP?

Button.Attributes.Add("OnClick", "javascript:window.open('page to open')&quot

Put that in either your page_load event, or in your page initialize. This will also work for any control that has an onClick event.

Will this work for other events? Such as setting focus to a text box...and then when a button is pressed...set focus to a list box??

Yes, it should work for other events as well.

If you'd like a handy way to set the focus of a control without having to write code over and over again, use this handy little function:

Private Sub SetFocus(ByVal ctrl As System.Web.UI.Control)
Dim s As String =
&quot;<SCRIPT language='javascript'>document.getElementById('&quot;
& ctrl.ID & &quot;').focus() </SCRIPT>&quot;

RegisterStartupScript(&quot;focus&quot;, s)

End Sub

So when calling it, you just need to pass a reference to the control.
i.e.
SetFocus(TextBox1)
