Response.Write Issue

[Desmoduck]

Hello Gurus,

Here is my situation:

I have an asp page that displays the contents of a folder and creates links to the files [pdfs] for download.
This asp page is displayed in an Iframe. [I cannot change this right now]
I am looking for assistance in opening the link to the file[s] in a new window or a way to break out of the Iframe.

It is line 10 that is giving me trouble. Any help is greatly appreciated.


Here is the current code:


set FileSysObj=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObjec t")
strFileAndPath = request.servervariables("SCRIPT_NAME")
strPathOnly = Mid(strFileAndPath,1 ,InStrRev(strFileAndPath, "/"))
strFullPath = server.mappath(strPathOnly)
set fldr=FileSysObj.GetFolder(strFullPath)
response.write("<H2></H2>")
set FolderList = fldr.SubFolders
For Each FolderIndex in FolderList
Response.Write ("<A HREF='" & FolderIndex.name & "'>" & FolderIndex.name & "</A><BR>")
Next
set FileList = fldr.Files
For Each FileIndex in FileList
'This bit excludes this page (and other asp files) from the list of links
if Lcase(right(FileIndex.Name, 4)) <> ".asp" then
Response.Write("<A HREF='" & FileIndex.name & "'>" & FileIndex.name & "</A></BR>")
end if
Next

I have tried adding TARGET="_top" and TARGET="_blank" to the Response.Write. That didn't seem to get it done. I must be missing something here. I can't seem to get it working....

Hi,

What does one of the links look like when its processed? Could be missing something.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the reply.

When the link is processed the associated file [pdf] opens whatever default pdf viewer is on the client in the iframe. That is my current problem. What I am trying to achieve is to have the asp create the the link [it is doing this already] but have it targeted to a new window.

I think I am definitely missing something when I add a target="_blank" to the response.write string. I am just having one of those moments where I just can't see it.


ORIGINAL:
Response.Write("<A HREF='" & FolderIndex.name & "'>" & FolderIndex.name & "</A><BR>")

MOD:
Response.Write("<A HREF='" & FolderIndex.name & " target='"_blank">" & FolderIndex.name & "</A><BR>")

Here is an example.

OK.

Got it sorted.

Response.Write("<A HREF='" & FileIndex.name & "'>" & FileIndex.name & "</A></BR>")

should have been

Response.Write("<A target=""_blank""HREF=" & FileIndex.name & ">" & FileIndex.name & "</A></BR>""")

bourbon and sleep fixed it...

Thanks for looking Paul!
