I would like to open a document after my ASP.NET page loads in a separate window. I would like to do this with the document not attempt to be blocked by a pop-up blocked. I tried and I am getting the prompt to ask if I would like to allow the popup. Is the best way to do this using a timer control or is there a better way in the lifecylce?
I have tried several events, but they are all launching the document prior to page load.
Fundamentally what you’re trying to do is exactly the thing that pop-up blockers are designed to prevent – load a pop-up window without an explicit user interaction. There may be various tricks you could use to get around certain particular pop-up blockers, but you’ll never be able to solve this in the general case.
The best solution is to have a link on your page to open the document in question in a new window. Pop-up blockers do not prevent links targeted to a new window.
