New window + server side method

[Loui Mercieca]

I need the functionality of the _blank of the hyperlink but need the onclick
functionality of the LinkButton. Did anyone have this problem?

Basically what i need is that once the user clicks on a control ( either
hyperlink, linkbutton or whatever ) a method will be executed on the server
and then a new window will be opened with a specific url.

Thanks,

Maybe what might work for you is something along the lines of:

<script type="text/javascript">
function MyFunction(target) {
window.open(target);
}
</script>
<asp:HyperLink runat="server"
NavigateUrl="JavaScript:MyFunction("+MyVariable+")" />

Which boils down to sort of mixing server side and client side code (as
server side code cannot open a new window for instance) where you
server side create a client side function call.

HTH,
