Question

I have postback method in asp.net and after that I want to open new blank page.

I am displaying some message from client side and explicitly clicking a href but that href is not firing.

<a href="../tools/pagename.aspx" target="_blank" id="aProcess"></a>

function DownloadData()
{
   $("#aProcess").click();
}

I want to execute href in new page.
window.open() which I do not want to use. I want to open new window. using window.open() as it may blocked by browser sometime. Therefore a href call explicitly I want to trigger.

Answer 1

Use this if you want the url to be opened in the current window

document.location.href = 'http://url.com';

If you want the url opened in a new window without using window.open(). You can use

window.showModalDialog("http://url.com",window);
