Hi There,
I agree with the strategies Alexender told. I also
append some code to open a new window just ease your
work.
-----------------------------------------------
<script language="javascript">
function popup(mylink, windowname)
{
if (! window.focus)return true;
var href;
if (typeof(mylink) == 'string')
href=mylink;
else
href=mylink.href;
window.open(href, windowname,
'width=430,height=280,scrollbars=no');
return false;
}
</script>
<h3>
<A HREF="printPdf.do?method=default" onClick="return
popup(this, 'Name Of The New Screen')">PDF
Generated Successfully</A>
</h3>
-----------------------------------------------
Regards,
Buland
