I currently have it as response.redirect..dont wanna do this though. to do this the vbscript would have to be run client side, but unfortunatly vbscript is not supported well at all. Your best bet would be to user some java script to open new windows, and have a backup plan for the 13% of the users who do not have java script enabled.

i can try using some javascript for it. window.open the easiest way to do it?

I dont have to worry about java not being enabled. This is gonna only be used in the office I am at..we enabled java on all the machines.

Yes, window.open() is the best method.

Are you ok with the code? Its pretty easy stuff. Post if you run into trouble.

I'll give it a try..if I run into trouble, I'll post my progress.

Thanks

Ok..I got it to open a new window with the page that I want. The only thing is that I want it to be able to open multiple windows if the user chooses more than 1 selection. There are some options that have to go to new windows, some dont. The script is below that is giving me the prob. If I select more than 1, it goes to the first one and that is it.

<SCRIPT TYPE="Text/JavaScript">
<!--
function Winmove()
{
var kitval;
var kitarray = new Array(30);
var tempval;
var maxcount;
kitval = document.MyForm.kit.value;
kitarray = kitval.split(",");

if (document.MyForm.kit.length == 0)
{
maxcount = 0
}
else
{
maxcount = kitarray.length
}

if (maxcount == 1)
{
maxcount = 0
}

for (var i=0; i <= maxcount;i++)
{
if (maxcount == 0)
{
tempval = kitval
}
else
{
tempval = kitarray(i)
}

if (document.MyForm.kit.value == "SC") { document.cookie = "speccare=Y" }
if (document.MyForm.kit.value == "CB") { document.cookie = "classic=Y" }
if (document.MyForm.kit.value == "PC") { document.cookie = "prefcare=Y" }
if (document.MyForm.kit.value == "S65")
{
document.cookie = "sec65=Y"
win65 = window.open("sec65kit.asp","65win")
}
if (document.MyForm.kit.value == "MB")
{
document.cookie = "medgap=Y"
winmed = window.open("medkit.asp","medwin")
}
if (document.MyForm.kit.value == "SB")
{
document.cookie = "secblue=Y"
winblue = window.open("secblukit.asp","bluewin")
}
if (document.MyForm.kit.value == "KM") { document.cookie = "keymu=Y" }
if (document.MyForm.kit.value == "CC") { document.cookie = "compcare=Y" }
if (document.MyForm.kit.value == "DB") { document.cookie = "dirblue=Y" }
if (document.MyForm.kit.value == "PB") { document.cookie = "prefblue=Y" }
if (document.MyForm.kit.value == "FB")
{
document.cookie = "freedom=Y"
winfree = window.open("freedomkit.asp","freewin")
}
if (document.MyForm.kit.value == "HC") { document.cookie = "HCTC=Y" }
}
return true;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

Suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
this is not an asp question please post in the correct forum.
Also you have started 2 different posts for the same question.

[buntine]

The best way to do it is to create a for loop. This way you will avoid all those If statements and your program will flow better.

Ribeyed - Its odd how so many people post javascript questions in this forum... Nobody seems to understand that ASP and Javascript are a horrible pair.
