Open PDF in new window

[Paul Eaton]

Hi

I am developing my first asp appication (vbscript). I am storing
cheques scans (in pdf format) in the file system along with the db on
the server.

The following code is working without problem except that:-

I want to display the scan/pdf in a new window and keep the current
window at the current position within the application.

Thanks in advance if you can spare the time to show me the best way to
do this.

I guess you are clicking on something to pop this up? in that case, on this
link add the target="_Blank" line and javascript window.open call.

As ASP is server side, it can not open a new browser window on your users
machine.

Add a target to your link on the first page

<a href="GetCheque.asp?RecID=2112" target="_new">View Cheque 2112</a>

OR, use the javascript window.open to specify formatting options

<script language=Javascript>
function OpenCheque(chequeNum)
{
window.open('GetCheque.asp?RecID=' + chequeNum,'newwin','height=200,
width=500, top=200, left=200');
}
</script>

<a href="Javascript: OpenCheque('2112');">View Cheque 2112</a>

Thankyou for the responses

I have used the window.open version in a JScript function
'ViewImage':-

<input type=button value="View Image" name=Image1
onClick="ViewImage('<% =RecID %>')">


As I don't think I can put a 'target'in:-

<input type=button value="View Image" name=Image1
onClick="location.href='../GCS/GCSImageView.asp?id=<% =RecID
%>&mode=view'">

Regards
