passing parameters while opening a new window

[dddd81]

Hey
I'm quite new in developing and I'm having some problems with passing url parameters.
I'm writing in vb.net (asp.net) and usually when creating an event, I'm using this:

dim paramName as string
paramName = request.querystring("CODE")....

...btn_onclick ()...
response.redirect("1.aspx?code=" & paramName)

The problem is that now I need to do the same, but open the new page in a new window.
I understand that I need to use window.open() and write some javascript
(I thought at first that I need target="_blank")
Since I'm not that familiar with javascript I don't really understand how to pass a parameter from the previous page to the new one



Thanks,
D.

hi there,

i use this function:

//beginning of javascript function
function openWindow(aName,aMode,anID,aService,h,w,TableSize) {

var vUrl= "<an url>?aName=" + aName + "&aMode=" + aMode + "&anID=" + anID + "&aService=" + aService + "&H=" + h + "&W=" + w + "&TableSize=" + TableSize;

var vWindow = window.open("", "vWindow", "width=" + w + ",height=" + h + ",menubar=no,toolbar=no,status=no,personalbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=no");
if (vWindow == null)
{
alert("Please disable pop-up blockers");
}
vWindow.focus();
vWindow.location=vUrl;
vWindow.moveTo(0, 0);

}
//end of javascript function

then in vb.net in a code-behind page of an aspx file, I have somewhere:
'beginning of vb.net code
sb.Append("<td align=""center""><a href=""vWindow"" onclick=""")
sb.Append("openWindow('") 'and so forth
'end of vb.net code

which creates dynamic html. thus, when somebody clicks such link it opens a pop-up window.
now, i know you want something different, which is to redirect to 1.aspx in a pop-up window. well, i haven't done that, but maybe this will work (you just have to let us know...)

instead of:

response.redirect("1.aspx?code=" & paramName)

change to:

response.write("<script language='javascript'>return openWindow(" + <send parameters as string values> + ";</script>")

and inside openWindow, <an url> would be "1.aspx"

maybe, this is that simple, or needs more work to be done.

i wish you luck,
