Using asp:HyperLink to open a new window

Hello,

I am using asp:HyperLink in a c# asp.net application to open a new window in the following way:

<asp:HyperLink ID="lnkSiteName" runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.name") %>'
NavigateUrl='<%# "site.aspx?id=" + DataBinder.Eval (Container.DataItem,"id").ToString()%>' Target="_blank">
</asp:HyperLink>

The window opens just fine with the parameter (id) i have sent.

The only thing i need is to set the window's properties - "toolbar=yes;status=no;location=no;menubar=no;width=280,height=520..."

How can i set those properties?

Thanks,
Dana

To set these properties you need to open the new window with javascript instead.

Basically

<asp:HyperLink ID="lnkSiteName" runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.name") %>'
onclick='javascript:window.open('myWin','<%# "site.aspx?id=" + DataBinder.Eval (Container.DataItem,"id").ToString()%>',"height=200,width=400,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no"'>
</asp:HyperLink>

Something like that ;)

You can use the Attribuites collections to add theses to the htnl going out to the client

lnkSiteName.Attributes.add("AttributeName", "attribute value");

Relegence ,
Add-on solution based on your existing code :
<asp:HyperLink ID="lnkSiteName" runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.name") %>'
NavigateUrl='<%# "site.aspx?id=" + DataBinder.Eval (Container.DataItem,"id").ToString()%>' Target="_blank">
</asp:HyperLink>

Change to
..NavigateUrl="javascript:c=window.open('YOURSOURCE','','toolbar=yes;status=no;location=no;menubar=no;width=280,height=520');c.focus();"...

Thanks x com,

When i changed my code i got a parser error - " The server tag is not well formed."

I guess it is because of the ' and " signs... How can i fix that?

This is my code now:
NavigateUrl="javascript:c=window.open('<%# "site.aspx?id=" + DataBinder.Eval (Container.DataItem,"id").ToString()%>','','toolbar=yes;status=no;location=no;menubar=no;width=280,height=520');c.focus();"
