Hyperlink Javascript window.open()

[=?Utf-8?B?Sm9obg==?=]

Hi,

I have the following in my asp .net web page. It opens a separate browser
window. However, on the main page, all of the contents is gone and shows
nothing but [object]. I have to use the Back button to get the main page
back.

How can I open a separate browser window and keep all the contents on the
main page? Thanks.

Solved. Used Target instead. Thanks.

Scott M. has definately provided the more correct solution. You might also try,

<a href="" onclick="window.open('ShowImage.aspx');return false;">Image</a>

This will ensure that the href action does not bubble through the page's
client side event cycle and will also not change the page URL by appending a
pound sign. You do not need a value in the href property, the browser will
render an empty href value as a link (if you exclude the href property all
together you will simply get text, not a hyperlink).
