ASP.NET Response.Redirect open in new window alternatives

I'm redirecting to a new window from code behind and tried this alternative:

Response.Write("<script>");
Response.Write("window.open('www.google.com','_new')");
Response.Write("</script>");

but this is blocked by the popup blocker, which I cannot have as a solution... any other suggestions that bypass the popup blocker?

Have you tried this via the client side?

Jquery can do it

so there is really nothing that would work from code behind that does something like this:

Response.Redirect("http://www.google.com","_new")

not that i know of when it comes to avoiding pop up blockers theres multiple ways to open a new window from code behind but its the pop up blocker thats the pain
