mvc redirect question

Hi Experts,

Please see below code:

HTML

<input type="button" id="btnManage" value="ManageActivation" onclick="Test()" />


  function Test() {
        debugger;
        location.href = "/Home/GetTest";
    }

Open in new window

MVC:

 public ActionResult GetTest()
        {
  string url = "window.open('http://www.google.com','_blank');";
  return new RedirectResult(url, false);
}

Open in new window

but it goes to http://localhost:33419/Home/window.open('http://www.google.com','_blank');
and it says HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found

I want to open google.com in new tab.

return Redirect(url); is also not working.

thanks

Is there any reason why you're not simply doing:

<input type="button" id="btnManage" value="ManageActivation" onclick="Test()" />
  function Test() {
        debugger;
        window.open('http://www.google.com','_blank');
    }

Open in new window

Thank you.

public ActionResult MA(MA inputs)
{

return Content(script); //script contains window.open('.. like string.
}

var callBackFunction = function (result) {
var tmpFunc = new Function(result); //also avoided eval
tmpFunc();
}
