Hi.<br />
I have an ASHX file which generates a PDF report and then forces download.<br />
The ashx is opened through javascript:window.open(...<wbr />)<br />
my IE7 is configured to open new windows as new tabs.<br />
<br />
when i click on the button,i see the tab opening, but closes its self immediatelly (half a second).<br />
when surfing to the ASHX file and passing the data in the querystring, no problem.<br />
in other browsers, and when opening in new window (not new tab) there's no problem.<br />
any ideas?<br />
Thanks!<br />
Udi.<br />

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications

ASP.NET

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
