Open New Tab/Window (Response.Redirect open in new web page)


Hello Friends,
Here I am going to explain how to open new tab/window on Button click using asp.net.
A week ago, i have to implement that code. I have option to use javascipt windows.open to open new tab.
But I have to insert or update some database entry. Yeah i know that there is another way to use clientscipt in code behind to achieve this.
But in its simplest form, following code open new tab/window.

<asp:Button ID=”btnNewEntry” runat=”Server” CssClass=”button” Text=”New Entry” OnClick=”btnNewEntry_Click” OnClientClick=”aspnetForm.target =’_blank’;”/>

<%– aspnetForm.target =’_blank’ will add handler to open new tab–%>

protected void btnNewEntry_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Redirect(”New.aspx”);
}

OR

Response.Write( “<script> window.open( ‘pageName.aspx’ ); </script>”);
Response.End();

// Here we can write javascript code to open new tab

——————–
Happy programming.

    • Just use the code listed in this article.
      Use the Firefox or other browser except the IE. IE will open new window instead of new tab. this is the default behavior in IE.

  17. Given first solution works only for first click, I have multiple links to open secondForm.aspx in new window. If I load Links.aspx & click on any random link it works perfectly, But not for the second click? no event is fired. Any clue?

    • Hi Shahid,
      This code will work for every control on page. You just need to define the click events code..
