Re: opening a window in a different browser

Humm...

My personal preference would be likely to avoid such a workaround. If the
app is cross browsers I would use Opera at least when printing is needed.
You could also see if this is solved in IE7 or if IE6 offers something
similar but different (and posisbkly detect IE and ask to use Opera for
printing as a workaround).

You could also consider create directly PDF files (likely a bit late at this
step as you already chosen the HTML route).

Note also that if the page opens in another browser the session is not
maintained. This could perhaps also cause for the workaround you are
trying...

sure. The problem basically started with print and print preview
functionalities. w3c specifies page-break-after:avoid and
page-break-inside:avoid. this was very handy for us since we have to
generate
pdfs from our pages and may also want printouts. Unfortunatley ie6 doesnt
support the 'avoid' spec! Opera on the other hand perfectly supports both.
We
now have the option to either completely switch to Opera or to open just 1
(our custom preview page) in Opera. The overall app is working just fine
with
IE6. the whole app is built with asp.net and is placed as a take pane in
an
infopath form. So i just prefer that in general it should still use IE,
but
when we need to preview the page, then it pops up in an Opera window, and
hence allowing us to get a nice print preview

You may want to explain what you are trying to do but if you want to open
a
page in a another browser from a particular browser IMO this is not
posisble
(plus it's likely it will cause problems such as sessions etc...)

Hi,
asp.net 2.0, ie6, opera 9.22

For various supportability reasons, we need to redirect a page to a url
and
require that the target url should open in an Opera browser. The call
is
simple

Response.Redirect(url, true);

It works fine if its all IE environment. but am wondering how can i
specify
that the new window should open in Opera instead. Any page directives
or
something?

regards,
Ali
