I have page1.aspx. On this page I have a link to a pdf file and a checkbox that is disabled. When user clicks on link they get redirected to page2.aspx, which is actually a 2nd window that pops up. On this page I update a table specifying that the link was clicked and using the following code display the pdf:


 Response.ContentType = "Application/pdf"
 Response.Redirect("05. Incentive Policy.pdf")

I need to enable the checkbox on page1.aspx after the link for the pdf has been clicked.

How can I do this? I'm trying to set a cookie on page1 and then reset it with a different value on page2, and then somehow read it from page1, but this isn't working.

Thanks,
Ninel

what about including a javascript for the link of page1. The script will
1) open page2 as popup
2) call page1 passing some param to denore that link was clicked. In page1 detect the param and check the checkbox

That would be great. Do you have any code you help me with?

This is what I have so far:


Page1.aspx
HTML:
<asp:hyperlink id="hlnkTest" runat="server" Font-Names="Tahoma" Font-Size="x-Small" ForeColor="BLUE" Visible="true"></asp:hyperlink> 
<asp:checkbox id="chkRead" runat="server" OnCheckedChanged="chkRead_checked" AutoPostBack="true" Font-Size="x-Small" Font-Names="Tahoma" Text="I have read the new/updated policies"></asp:checkbox>

ASPX:
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
   If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
            hlnkTest.Visible = True
            hlnkTest.Target = "_blank"
            hlnkTest.Text = "TEST"
            hlnkTest.Attributes.Add("onclick", "enableCheckBox()")
            hlnkTest.NavigateUrl = "Page2.aspx"
            chkRead.Enabled = False

            Dim str As String
            str = "<script language='javascript'>"
            str = str & "function enableCheckBox() {document.getElementById('chkRead').disabled = false;}"
            str = str & "</script>"
            Response.Write(str)
   End If
End Sub

I'm not getting any errors, but it's also not enabling the checkbox.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Ninel

Page1 - html
<script language="JavaScript"></script>
<form name="myform" >
<input type="checkbox" name="testcheck" value="1">Test<br>
<a href='javascript:openWindow()'>hello</a>
</form>

Page2 - html
<title>
page2
</title>

Now open Page1 in IE and click on the link. Is this not what you are trying to do?
If you want page1 also to be refreshed add that line also to the javascript function

I don't think it's that simple.

When the link is clicked on page1 I need to display the pdf in page2. The only way I got the pdf to open properly was to use .NavigateUrl and at the same time enable the disabled checkbox on Page1 only when the link is clicked.
