use a popup window to display data from an ASP page

[brian]

I have an ASP page (A) that displays data. One of the
columns is a hyperlink that when clicked opens up a new
asp document (B). The B document gets a parameter from
page A and looks up a value in a database to display the
results. no problem. but instead of opening a new asp
page, I would like to open a popup window. Does anyone
have any suggestions. I have found the javascript to open
a popup window, but I don't know how to pass the value
from page A to page B.

Hi Brian,

Do you need to control the window with the JavaScript? If not, just set a target of _blank in the hyperlink. If you do then, open
the window using an onclick event in the hyperlink. The window that is referenced will be the ASP B

<a href="javascript:window.open('myWin','myASP.asp?param1=value1')" >fp_rs(.....)</a>

It can be even easier. Just change the "target frame" property of the
original hyperlink to "_blank" - It will open the link in a new window.

I am performing the same thing. Used the code example on Websunlimited and it worked. However when I pass my parameter over to my detail page, it first comes up with "no records returned" in a frameless small window. And then it comes up with my correct detail page in a full sized window

How do I prevent the "no records returned" from creating its own window and keep the detail page in the small window?

Nevermind, got it fixed. Still had the old HREF in there and I wasn't passing the parameter to the popup.

Thanks for the input but I think you had the 2 parameters
reversed. This is what I used.

<A href="javascript:window.open('<% = strURL2 %>')" >

where strURL2
= "http://mickey/ASP/EOMErrors/getErrorInstructions.asp?
ErrCde=" & rs("Error Code")

It works great except now, after it opens the new window,
the old window becomes blank except for the word [Object]
appears in the upper left corner.
