Open another browser during processing

If anyone knows how I could go about doing the following, I would
greatly appreciate some info.

I have an aspx page that has some fields for user input as well as a
button. When the button is clicked, the data that was entered by the
user is saved to the database. If the save is completed sucessfully,
the user would like to have a seperate browser window open and display
a receipt. This window will also have to have a print and a close
button.

The data is being saved in the clicked event of the button in the
aspx.vb page.

I've tried using a modaldialog, but it would not allow the print
function to be used.

Im not really sure how to go about using the
Page.RegisterStartupScript method. Ive tried to use it and I think
that my syntax is correct, I just dont know where to use it (Clicked
event, page load etc.)You can print from a modal dialog if you place an html button an do
window.print() in onclick event handler. The only thing you can't get is
print preview.

Ive actually tried that and it didn't work at all.

<INPUT id="cmdPrint" type="button" value="Print"
onclick="window.print();"
it does not seem to work. When I click the print button, nothing
happens.

I have also tried the following:

object in HTML:

<asp:Button id="cmdPrint" runat="server" Text="Print"
Code in page behind:

Private Sub cmdPrint_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles cmdPrint.Click
Dim strScript As String
strScript = "<script language='javascript'>"
strScript += "window.print();"
strScript += "</script>"

Page.RegisterStartupScript("print", strScript)

End Sub

This works on my local PC, but not on our server. I thought that it
might have something to do with McAfee, so I asked if it could be
turned off. It didn't make any difference.
Strange. onclick="window.print(); should do. Just rechecked it again. May be
you are having security problems?
