Open Window using Javascript inside VB

I'm trying to redirect to a record insert page and also popup a new window
after each insertion. I've tried the following below and I can't seem to
get any to work. Is this possible?
Thanks

If (MM_editRedirectUrl <> "") Then
Response.Redirect(MM_editRedirectUrl)
javascript:window.open("Printlabel.asp")
End If

and

If (MM_editRedirectUrl <> "") Then
Response.Redirect(MM_editRedirectUrl)
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
window.open(printlabel.asp,PrintLabel,width=300,height=150)
</script>
End If

You're trying to mix server side code (ASP/VBScript) with client side code
(JavaScript) and execute them at the same time. You can not do that.

Leave the default redirect in place. Then on the page the user get's
redirected to, you can set an onload event to open the pop up. Keep in mind
that a lot of folks use pop up blockers and will likely never see the pop
up.

Alternatively, you can create a pop up window when the user clicks the
submit button.

Thanks, this is for our company intranet so popup blockers won't be an issue
and I would like to do this on form submit but I have a question. If I do
it on form submit and their is verification needed will this popup even if
it can't verify? I'm trying to only do this if everything is verified and
inserted into the table. Thanks!

Then you should use the pop up on the page the user is redirected to upon
success.

But I'm redirecting to the same page, it is a database insertion page.

No Problem :)

If you are redirecting to the same page, the add a parameter to the URL,
i.e.,
If (MM_editRedirectUrl <> "") Then
Response.Redirect(MM_editRedirectUrl & "&action=popup")
End If

Then in the page, just call the onload event conditionally based on the
action parameter, i.e.,

<%
Dim blnPopUp
If Request.QueryString("action") = "popup" Then
blnPopUp = True
Else
blnPopUp = False
End If
%>

<body ..some stuff...
<% If blnPopUp Then %>
onload="scriptToOpenPopUp"
<% End If %>
>

note: the closing > of the body tag is just below the if/then.

Thanks, I was thinking of something like that but didn't know how.
Appreciate it, I'll give it a shot.

Works but when I get redirected and submit again I get
"action=popup?action=popup" and so on.

DW tends do that, huh? I forget, does the dialogue box provide you an
option to exclude URL parameters when redirecting?

If not, then try this:

If (MM_editRedirectUrl <> "") Then
Session("popup") = True
Response.Redirect(MM_editRedirectUrl & "&action=popup")
End If

<body ..some stuff...
<% If Session("popup") Then %>
onload="scriptToOpenPopUp"
<%
Session.Contents.Remove("popup")
End If
%>
>

note: it's important to remove the session just before the end if, otherwise
the pop up will happen every time the page is viewed is the session
persists.
