Pop up window from gridview

[ChrisFarrugia]

Dear All, I am using the gridview to display a list equipment from database. One of the columns in the database is manufacturer_url. Now I want the data in this field to be displayed as a hyperlink in gridview and when clicked it opens a pop up window. Is there a way to do this by incorporating the javascript:open or any other way? Thank you very much for your great help! Chris Farrugi

Use the following code for popUp in and use tag rather than Hyperlink... [')" style="color:Maroon" >View Profile](javascript:winOpen('<%# ) now goto your popup window page_load event and get the above "YourKey" from QueryString. and do that what yuo want to your popup window.Fetch records from the DB by above define "YourKey"...... and write the following Jscript function into ur girdview aspx page: function winOpen(URL) { window.open(URL, 'Default','width=550,height=520,toolbar=no, location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes, copyhistory=yes,resizable=no,left=250,top=100,screenX=0,screenY=0'); } :) -- modified at 2:05 Tuesday 28th August, 2007 -- modified at 2:07 Tuesday 28th August, 2007 -- modified at 2:20 Tuesday 28th August, 2007 Deepak Smile a Lots,Its Costs Nothing -- modified at 2:21 Tuesday 28th August, 2007

Thank you for your reply! So let me see if i understod you correctly. 1. Which tag do I use in the gridview columns. The hyperlink ? 2. So I get the identity of the row and then pass it to another aspx page and from there i retrieve the id from querystring and perform the window operations from that page. Thank you very much Chris

to do this simply use Eval("[ur field name from db]") and bind it to ur hyperlink

But that wont open a hyperlink. That just displays the link and when clicked it redirects to that page. My problem is how to bind the data from db to a hyperlink BUT when clicked it opens a popup window. Thank you a lot for your great help, Chris
