I'd like to try something. I'd like to add target='_blank' to the code so it will open in a new window. But I am not sure how to do this.

Here's my current code:

Response.Redirect ("PrayerRequests.aspx")

I'd like for the web page to redirect to this web page. I want the web page to show up in a new window.

reponse is serverside code has no knowledge of client windows, I would just use some client javascrip block based on your conditions.

This will not work for me. Does anyone know of any functions that I could use when I redirect a web page to make it refresh automatically?

Response.Write("window.open('PrayerRequests.aspx','mywindow','width=400,height=200')")

Mart,

It didn't work. I got "window.open('PrayerRequests.aspx','mywindow','width=400,height=200') " on the top of my web page. There may be a small error somewhere.

Response.Write("<script language=javascript>window.open('PrayerRequests.aspx','mywindow','w idth=400,height=200')</script>")

I got the following error message:

Compiler Error Message: BC30648: String constants must end with a double quote.

Source Error:

Line 329:                 lblResultsTitle.Text = "<h3>Thank you for adding your prayer request! </h3>" 
Line 330:
Line 331:                 Response.Write("<script  language=javascript>window.open('PrayerRequests.aspx','mywindow','width=400,height=200')</scri pt>") 
Line 332:
Line 333:

I tried adding some things, but it still would not work. I am not sure what's wrong.

There's actually no space in script. I am not sure why it showed space in the error message above. This was not what I saw in the error message.

I forgot to let you know that I already have Javascript code in the ASP.Net web page. The code is:

I have tried changing the code many times. I am still getting an error message. You can see a copy of my error message below. Can someone please help me with this code? Or maybe you could show me how to modify this code to work with target_blank.

Compiler Error Message: BC30648: String constants must end with a double quote.

Source Error:

Line 313:                 lblResultsTitle.Text = "<h3>Thank you for adding your prayer request! </h3>"

This should work

Response.Write("<")
Response.Write("script language=javascript>window.open('PrayerRequests.aspx','mywindow','status=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars

=yes,resizable=yes,width=400,height=200,top=0,left=0');</")
Response.Write("script")
Response.Write(">")

the problem is that you are probably using inline code, and you cannot have a <script> or </script> anywhere inside a <script runat="server"> block so you have to replicate it by doing it like that

Thank you for your help! It finally worked.
