open a new window without javascript and without hyperlink

hello all,
is there a way to open a new window without javascript and a href=_blank?
i need to connect a button click with some lines of code and then, a new
window shall get opened.
but i didn't find a way to open a new window as result of a buttonm click.
thanks for help,
danHello dan,
You'll need to either use javascript, or an anchor tag with a target=_blank.
Either: window.open('someURL') or <a href="http://links.10026.com/?link=someURL" target="_blank">
You can not open a window from the server, as the server has no concept of
a browser. The only thing you can do from the server is render code (as abov
e)
to do this on the client.

you could make the button a submit button in a form, and have the target of
the form set to _blank (see example below, and see
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html for more on the syntax.), or
you could 'fake' a button, by using and image of a button as a link.
eg. 1
<form action="http://somesite.com/somepage.html" method="post"
target="_blank">
<input type="submit" value="Send" />
</form>
eg. 2
<a href="http://links.10026.com/?link=http://somesite.com/somepage.html" target="_blank">
<img src="http://pics.10026.com/?src=fakeButton.png" alt="I'm a Button, Honest" />
</a>

Put a big block of text in your page that says "Open a new browser and go to
the following URL in it: Your URL". If you're lucky, some of your users will
do it. Otherwise, use a link, or JavaScript.

I'm thinking that there must be some reason why you don't want to use
JavaScript. Perhaps it's because you have some server-side processing to do,
which necessitates a PostBack, and you don't hink you can open a new window
once the page reloads. But you can. Just add the script using
Page.RegisterStartupScript().

popup blockers prevent this approach - so I'd avoid it.

Well, Bruce, as you know, there are precisely THREE ways to open a new
browser window:
1. JavaScript
2. Target frame of hyperlink or form submit
3. Get the User to do it.
Which way would you use?

the expectation was that the site must work with disabled js.
and i don't want to use a link because before the new window will open,
some server side action must be performed with data of the actual window.
also, i cannot set the form target because not all the web controls have
to perform a new page being opened.
ok, then i have to take a two step navigation:
1. button event takes starts server side action
2. link click opens new window
