Question

How to open a second asp web page?

Asked by: HobbyTown


Hi,

I am using

response.redirect("http://google.com")

to open a new asp web page. The result is: the original web page disappears and it is replaced by the new Google.com page.

What I want to do is:

Keep the original web page, and open the sencond page of Google.com.

I am using vbscript. How can I do that? Any ideas?



Thanks a lot.

< a href="google.com" target=="_new">Click</a>

 

by: hendridmPosted on 2005-03-07 at 11:28:54ID: 13479812

You can use JavaScript:

<%
If SomeCondition = True Then
   Response.Write("<script language=""Javascript"">")
   Response.Write("window.open('http://www.google.com');")
   Response.Write("</script>")
End If
%>

However, this will be defeated by popup blockers.  Jitganguly's solution wouldn't be defeated, but requires the user click event.

 

by: HobbyTownPosted on 2005-03-07 at 11:43:25ID: 13479983

How can I put

< a href="google.com" target=="_new">Click</a>

into the vbscript codes and how to automatically redirect this new web page? Thanks.

 

by: jitgangulyPosted on 2005-03-07 at 11:45:42ID: 13480013

<script language=VBScript>
window.location="http://www.google.com"
</script>

 

by: HobbyTownPosted on 2005-03-07 at 11:49:40ID: 13480062

But the error information is:

Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01A8)
Object required: ''

How to solve that? Thanks

 

by: raj3060Posted on 2005-03-07 at 12:23:53ID: 13480424

try this:

Window.Open("www.google.com", "NewWin")

 

by: HobbyTownPosted on 2005-03-07 at 12:25:37ID: 13480458

I find that "window" can not be used in my vbscript. any ideas? Thanks.

This works for me:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

<html>
<head>
<title>open window with VBSCRIPT</title>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT">
Public oWin
Sub cmdOpenWin_OnClick()
   Set oWin = Window.Open("http://www.google.com", "NewWin")
End Sub

Sub cmdCloseWin_OnClick()
   if oWin Is Nothing Then
      MsgBox "Window not instantiated!"
   Else
      oWin.Close
   End If
End Sub
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body>

<FORM NAME="frmWin1" ACTION="" METHOD="POST">

<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="cmdOpenWin" VALUE="Open New Window">

</body>
</html>

Note: Client-side VBscript will only work in IE.  Javascript works on multiple platforms/browsers.

Hi raj3060,

Thanks for your answers. I tried your example as an independent program, and it indeed works. However, when I put it into my program, it does not work. The problem is : in my program, "window" object can not be recognized, but in the independent file, window" object can be recognized. How can change anything my program to solve that? Thanks.

 

by: raj3060Posted on 2005-03-07 at 15:13:39ID: 13482012

Could you post the code where you are trying to add this code.
Also, can you use javascript?

 

by: frrfPosted on 2005-03-07 at 21:29:49ID: 13483702

here is an idea, assume you get the post from A.asp, and you want to open another window to www.google.com, and you want to disaply a.asp as well.
so, do not use response.redirect, instead set a flag to tell the <body onload=> function.
code sample will look like below, please let me know if you have question.

<%
if request.form <> "" then
'your process code
'response.redirect ("www.google.com")  <----- don't redirect here, set the flag to 1
FlagToOpenWindow=1
else
FlagToOpenWindow=0 <---- if it is normal load, set the flag to 0, so body onload will not pop up another window
end if
%>

<script language=JavaScript>
function OpenAnotherWindow(a)
if a==1
{
window.open("http://www.google.com", "NewWindow", 'toolbar,width=150,height=100')
}
</script>

<html>
<body onload = OpenAnotherWindow(<%=FlagToOpenWindow%>)>
</body>
</html>

Hi ,

In face, I  changed <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"> ...</SCRIPT>

to <%@ LANGUAGE = VBScript %> .. <% ...%>

The following codes are the same as raj3060's codes listed above, except that he uses <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"> ...</SCRIPT> .

For his above code, "window" is enabled, and the whole program works, however, for my following codes, it doesn't work, since "window" is disenabled.

Any ideas about the difference? How to enable "window" object under <%@ LANGUAGE = VBScript %> .. <% ...%> ?

Thanks.


<%@ LANGUAGE = VBScript %>

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

<html>
<head>
<title>open window with VBSCRIPT</title>


<%
Public oWin
Sub cmdOpenWin_OnClick()
   Set oWin = Window.Open("http://www.google.com", "NewWin")
End Sub

Sub cmdCloseWin_OnClick()
   if oWin Is Nothing Then
      MsgBox "Window not instantiated!"
   Else
      oWin.Close
   End If
End Sub
 %>
</head>
<body>

<FORM NAME="frmWin1" ACTION="" METHOD="POST">
Manage a new Internet Explorer window:
<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="cmdOpenWin" VALUE="Open New Window">
<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="cmdCloseWin" VALUE="Close Window">
</FORM>

</body>

 

by: raj3060Posted on 2005-03-08 at 12:50:07ID: 13490186

You can still use it this way:

in above code use this:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT">

Public oWin
Sub cmdOpenWin_OnClick()
   Set oWin = Window.Open("http://www.google.com", "NewWin")
End Sub

Sub cmdCloseWin_OnClick()
   if oWin Is Nothing Then
      MsgBox "Window not instantiated!"
   Else
      oWin.Close
   End If
End Sub
</SCRIPT>

and it will work..

 

by: frrfPosted on 2005-03-08 at 14:41:03ID: 13491177

you will also need this:

<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="cmdOpenWin" VALUE="Open New Window" onclick = "cmdOpenWin_OnClick">
<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="cmdCloseWin" VALUE="Close Window" onclick = "cmdCloseWin_OnClick" >

Hi HobbyTown
just a quick note: the problem with your code was that you were running it on the server side, not on the client side. It must be run on the client side, otherwise it will not work. To run it on the client side, copy raj3060's code directly :)
