hello, i used a System.Web.UI.WebControls.HyperLink (the hyperlink) server control instead of button. It has a target property that u can set to _blank. how ever i am not sure how to make the hyperlink look like a button.. perhaps by setting its ImageURL property? HTH :)

Hello every one :) i am trying to find a way to add a pop-up confirmation to LoginStatus control when you click Logout. here is the code i tried.. with no luck of pop up showing up..:confused: i'd appreciate any thoughts/suggestions/corrections! i have set the "LoggingOut" event of the LoginStatus control to: (userLoggingOut). My loginStatus control is: logStatus and then tried both of these codes in the code behind.. still i cant see the confirm message pop up! any idea what i might have been doing wrong? thank u so much in advance :D protected void userLoggingOut(object sender, LoginCancelEventArgs e) { LoginStatus lgst1 = (LoginStatus)FindControl("logStatus"); lgst1.Attributes.Add("OnLoggingOut", "return confirm('Are you sure')"); } ======>>>> and i tried this too: protected void userLoggingOut(object sender, LoginCancelEventArgs e) { string Msg = "are u sure"; LoginStatus lgst2 = (LoginStatus)FindControl("logStatus"); lgst2.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:return " + " confirm('" + Msg + "') "); }
