How to open popup Page in New tab

Question

I am using below code for open page in popup window.

ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, GetType(Page), "OpenWindow",     "window.open('URL');", True)

But i want to page open in New Tab. Can any one help me in that.

Solution

You will need to make the JavaScript call a user initiated event.

Please see this question and answer for further details (specifically, see point 3 in the answer).

Working example.

<input type="button" value="Click Me" onclick="openWindow()" />

function openWindow() { window.open('http://www.google.com/', '_blank'); }

@Shirish do you mean to open a new window from the code behind or do you mean to create the JavaScript function and set the onclick attributes from the code behind?

@angsuf yes i want to open new window from code behind, I am using like this function.. ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), "onclick", "javascript:window.open('../default.aspx','_blank');", true); but every time it cause popup and browser blocker block popup in all browsers..

@Shirish your code is just running the script to open the popup on the page load. A user will need to initiate the popup using a control that calls the JavaScript function. The answer I provided is relevant to you also. Point 6 6. Some popup blockers will allow windows opened from user initiated events, but not those opened otherwise.
