call __doPostBack from javascript method not working as expected

Hi!
I want to make a postback when the user hits the escape-button on the
keyboard and redirect the user to another page. But the
response.redire ct does not work for me in this "context".
I´m trying to do like this:
<body onkeydown="MyRe direct()">
function MyRedirect()
{
if(event.keyCod e == 27)
{
__doPostBack('' , 'myRedirect');
}
}
--
The doPostBack method is autogenerated by .net and look like this in
..net 2.0.
--

function __doPostBack(ev entTarget, eventArgument) {
if (!theForm.onsub mit || (theForm.onsubm it() != false)) {
theForm.__EVENT TARGET.value = eventTarget;
theForm.__EVENT ARGUMENT.value = eventArgument;
theForm.submit( );
}
}
--

This will trigger a postback.
In page_load I´m doing like this:
Private Sub Page_Load(...) Handles Me.Load
If Page.IsPostBack Then
If Request.Form("_ _EVENTARGUMENT" ) = "myRedirect " Then
response.redire ct("anotherPage .aspx")
End If
End If
End Sub
Nothing happens when executing response.redire ct. Why is that?
Thanks in advance

Response.Reddir ect is simply not executed.
Most likely IsPostBack return false.
Leve the code like that
If Request.Form("_ _EVENTARGUMENT" ) = "myRedirect " Then
response.redire ct("anotherPage .aspx")
End If
you do not need to check on PostBack

Thanks for the reply.
This is not the case. I have steped through the code in the debugger
som I know that the response.redire ct line is executed.
The strange thing is that it does not seems to be an ordinary postback,
cause if I for example change the text-value for a label, the value is
not changed when the page is shown again.
I have tested the same thing for a LinkLabel. First I add a linklabel
to the page. In the event for the linklabel I have added a
response.redire ct. This works fine if I click on the link, but if I
call it from a javascript method like __doPostBack('L inkButton1', '')
the event is called but no response.redire ct is done. What is the
difference between this scenarios?

This is from my previous post, but a different issue. I have the following Javascript routine that opens a popup page, but doesn't seem to work if called from an asp.net button.

The button does bring up the popup window, but when I press the links on the page, it doesn't return or close the window. ****************************************************************************
