Response.Redirect with specifing new window properties

[Mike]

How can I use response.redirect and also set properties for the new window
such as, width=760, toolbar=no, scrollbar=yes, statusbar=no, etc....?

I need to do it on the following line:

Response.Redirect"admin/view/wb_a_client_list.asp"

Thanks,

Mikeal

Try the window.open method described at:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/m
ethods/open_0.asp

Here's an example:

<script>
window.open("admin/view/wb_a_client_list.asp",
null, "height=500, width=760, status=yes, toolbar=no,
menubar=no, location=no");
</script>

Jim,

I need to use the response.redirect within the asp tags <% %>. How can I
use the <script> </script> statements inside the asp tags?

I cannot get it to work.

You can't. Response.Redirect uses the same browser window as the page it is
on. Re-think why you need to open a new window or run the entire process in
a popup window, etc.

Is there any way to use window.close() without it telling you that the web
page is trying to close the window?

Only if you generate the window via JavaScript.

only if the window was opened by/from a "parent". if you try to close the
parent that box may pop-up. I believe it's a browser setting.

Jim,

use the <script> </script> statements inside the asp tags?

I cannot get it to work.

I call this the "message in a bottle" technique. ASP code can't
control the browser window directly, but it can operate the browser
remotely by sending it a script. Here's an example:

<%
If doWhatever = "yes" Then
%>
<script>
window.open("admin/view/wb_a_client_list.asp",
null, "height=500, width=760, status=yes, toolbar=no,
menubar=no, location=no");
</script>
<%
End If
%>

As to closing the original window, I can't imagine why you'd want to
do that. I mean, here's the visitor, surfing along, having a good
time, and all of a sudden you replace his browser window with one that
can't surf on to other pages (no address bar). I would hate a site
that did that. Actually, I would probably right-click the task bar
icon, close the window, restart IE, and never visit that site again.

Why are you trying to do this, anyway?
