Open new window from code-behind

Question

I need to open a new window from code-behind on post-back if a specific radio button is selected.

Is there any way to do this?

Thank you.

Answer 1

You will need to run javascript on postback

Answer 2

You can use RegisterStartupScript to send a window.open script to run once the page has loaded.

However, this will cause the majority of popup blockers to get in your way.

Answer 3

Simple sample of RegisterStartupScript:

RegisterStartupScript("id1", "<script type=\"text/javascript\">alert(\"I'm from JavaScript.\");</script>");

Answer 4

New windows can be very sketchy, depending on the content that you need to present you might consider using an in window pop-in if you will. You will avoid pop-up blockers that way. If you can give more details we can give better answers.
