Opening a new window using onclientclick event

[MulaChula]

Dear all,

I have a button in my .aspx that successfully opens a pdf document in a new window using the following button:

<asp:button id="btnReporte"
text="Reporte"
onclientclick="Navigate('.\\documentos\\83_15.pdf')"
runat="server" />

and the following javascript function:

<script type="text/javascript">
function Navigate(sRuta)
{
javascript:window.open(sRuta);
}
</script>

As you can see the .pdf name is hardcoded. I need to make it a variable, which value is known when I load the .aspx containing the button control...

Any tip on how I can accomplish that?

Thank you in advance for your interest!

This is how I solved it:

I inserted a hidden field in my .aspx page:

<asp:HiddenField ID="hfRutaReporte1" runat="server" />

Then in the pageload event I fill the value of this field using the value stored in a Session variable:

Me.hfRutaReporte1.Value = Session("DocPath").ToString

Finally, I read the content of the hidden field in my onclientcick event:

<asp:button id="btnReporte1"
text="Reporte"
onclientclick="Navigate(document.form1.item('hfRutaReporte1').value)"
runat="server" />

If anyone is interested in the full code, please let me know and I will be happy to share an example.

Thank you all!

I found a simpler, more elegant way to do the same without hidden fields.

I just define the onclientclick event in my page load event:

Me.btnReporte1.OnClientClick = "Navigate('" & Session("DocPath").ToString & "')"

Hope this helps. If anyone needs more details I'll be happy to help.
