Open new window using Javascript or Hyperlink

[Jawahar]

I am trying to open a new window in two ways
1 - adding javascript to the onclick attribute of an Image button to open a
pdf document in a new window as
javascrit:window.open('MyPage.aspx',status=1,locat ion=1,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes)

2 - I am using a HyperLink and using the NagigateUrl property to open a pdf
in a new window with the targer set as "_Blank"

The trouble I am having is trying to keep the focus on the new window.
Sometimes it opens with the focus then almost immediately loses focus. Some
time it opens but does not have focus . It is not minimized just loses focus.
THe behavoir is inconsistent

How can i prevent this
Do i use the respone object
With Response
.ClearContent()
.ClearHeaders()
.ContentType = "application/pdf"
.Buffer = True
.WriteFile(strFileName)
.Flush()
.Close()
End With

Any ideas or suggetsions will be appreciated.

window.open returns a reference to the new window. Could you focus it that
way?

javascript: newWindow = window.open( '...' ); newWindow.focus();

Do you have smart navigation turned on? This caused me problems and I
have to rewrite a pieve of the smartnav script.
