Open A New Page In the Server Side

[chenshibing <ch...@lifeisgreat.com.cn>]

Hi, all:

I have a question to ask: is it possible to open a new browser page in the server side instead of using form.target="__blank"?

User submits a form then the server side codes do some validations. If the form valid, a new page is return for printing, or the original page is returned with some prompt messages. But if the form's target attribute set to __blank, it will open new page in both situations. Is there any response header to control browser open new page in the server side?

I think that you can accomplish it with a mix of Javascript and server
logic.
You could make an AJAX call (e.g. with DWR) and then, depending on a
parameter, you could open a window or redirect to another page.
This is just a "proof of concept", not real code, but at least it is a step
forward :-)
