Open New Window and ASP .NET Style Question

[jm]

I wanted to do something simple. I wanted to open a new window with a
button. Went around the world on Google and found:



Dim endStr As String = "</"
Dim strJScript As String

strJScript = "<script language=""JavaScript"">"
strJScript += "<!-- " + vbCrLf
strJScript += "window.open
(""AddRowCall.aspx"",""myWindow"",""top=0,left=0,width=790,height=500,buttons=no,scrollbars=yes,location=no,menubar=no,resizable=no,status=no,directories=no,toolbar=no"");"
+ vbCrLf
strJScript += "// -->"
strJScript += endStr + "script>"

Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock("clientScript", strJScript)


Is this the way I am supposed to do this? Is there something wrong
with just creating a regular old html button (I had wanted the
asp:button, but see no benefit) and some javascript in the page? Not
to mention, this doesn't work; it just never fires. Thanks.

Your code never fires because you never attatched it to a button.
Use Attributes.Add to do that.
Something along these lines:
MyButton.Attributes.Add("onclick",strMyClientCode)
Here's more info:

You can create an old style HTML button instead if you prefer. There is
nothing wrong with that.

Do not mix the scripts, You have specified Javascript as
the script language, and you asre also using VB constant
vbcrlf. if you mix the scripts the function will not work.
