start a popup window without postback?

[Guest]

Now I has the web button control "help" button which is starting a new window
in clinet side by clicking it. OnClick for the button will start a JavaScrip
which uses window.open() to open help.html page in a new window. It works OK
to open window, but the original window is refreshed when clicking the
button. The reason is the web button control has a postback action (since it
is submit type). My question is:

Can I do this (open help.html) without refreshing the original window?

Thank you for any help.

Does it have to be a server control ? If all it is going is opening a
window, might as well use html button <input type="button">

I just use the button in toolbox in Visual Studio.

You have used the 'Web Forms' button, this will cause a post back, you need
to use the 'HTML' button. This will solve your problem.
