So I have a webapplication where I select a value from a dropdownlist. When this value is selected, I want to load another page in a new window.
I tried this:
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, typeof(Page), "OpenWindow", "window.open('Default.aspx', '_blank');", true);
It does open the page, but not in a new window/tab. It opens it in the current opened page.
Alternatively I tried:
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "OpenWin", "<script>openDashboardPage()</script>");
and
HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'>window.open('Default.aspx', '_new');</SCRIPT>");
They all behave in the same fashion. I just loads the page in the existing window. I tried it in both Firefox and Chrome, thinking it might be a browser thing, but they both behaved the same.
How do I open a new window?
