Open new window using dropdownlist selectedvalue

[wbosw]

I would like to open a new window to a url that I have set as the dropdownlist.selectedvalue on the selected index change event. The selectedvalue is the url path and it will open in the existing window. I've tried window.open before the url, but that doesn't work.



protected void DropDownList_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Redirect(this.ddl.SelectedValue);
}
