You can only open a new browser window through client end script, server
code cannot and should not be allowed to do that.. That is, only user's
action on the client browser can bring up a new browser window. If server
code could do that, a bad guy would be easily write a simple page a attract
unsuspicious users and then keep popping up thousands of new windows until
the computer dies.
