Solution 1

Use window.location keyword if window.open with target = "_new" was not working..

Thanks,

You don't really have control of that. If the user has configured their browser to open new windows, your new documents will open in a new window. If they have configured to open new tabs, then that is what you will get. You don't really have control of this from the application side.

Solution 2

Window.open("url") is enough without specifying any height and width etc...

Change the form in your first page into this:

<form id="form1" runat="server" method="get">
   <asp:HiddenField runat="server" value="true" id="newtab" />
    <asp:Button id="Button1" runat="server" height="32px"
            Width="75px" Text="Submit"  />
</form>

Add this in the Page_Load function of your C#:

C#

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
          try
          {
              if (Request.QueryString["newtab"].ToLower() == "true")
              {
                  Response.Redirect("NewPage.aspx");
              }
          }
          catch { }
          form1.Target = "_blank";
      }

What the code does:

When you press the Submit button,
you'll be redirected to the same page, but the value "newtab"
in Request.QueryString is set to "true".

Response.Redirect redirects you to a new page,
and form1.Target = '_blank' opens the new pab page.

Hope this helps.
