Create new window on Redirect?

[bthouin]

Hi guys,

A very simple problem: I have a "Response.Redirect("myURL") statement
which I'd like to spawn a SEPARATE window, just like when on a form
action, you can say target="_blank". Is that possible ?

My Response.Redirect is (of course) on the server side, and, for various
reasons, I can't have a form with a submit button for that particular
user action.

Regards
Bernard

Thanks Paul.

This function is only going to be used only by very few (2 or 3) users
with special roles, so it would not be a problem. Can you tell me how do
you do that at all ?

Regards
Bernard

I have had a look around and I can't find the way to expand the
response.redirect script. What I would suggest is that you could use the
following script on the redirect page to open up the new window

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
<!--
window.open ('index.cfm');
//-->
</SCRIPT>
