Question

i have a question about generating images at runtime which are also links. Ok, so what i was going to do was create an ImageButton, and then set the onClick event to something such as:

window.open('http://www.themagicfinger.com/')

Which means it would look like:

newImage.Click += (window.open('http://www.themagicfinger.com/'));

But then i realised that this doesnt work, because it looks for a method which matches the event delagate.

So my question is, is this the best way to achieve what i want, and if so, how can i make it work?

Another option that came in my head would be to wrap the image in an tag, but i think this way its better.

Thanks

What you need is OnClientClick:

<asp:ImageButton id="ImageButton1" runat="server" OnClientClick="window.open('http://www.themagicfinger.com/'); return false;" ImageUrl="MyButton.png" />

This property is a string, not event, and you can also assign it from within the code behind:

ImageButton1.OnClientClick = "window.open('http://www.themagicfinger.com/'); return false;";
