I have an requirement and I have no idea how to implement it. I have page Layout where gridview and some Textbox are there. In this page Layout I will programmatically place a new URL in a hidden field and I want to open this link in new window automatically if visit the page layout.

It doesn't need to be a hidden field any other options where I can pass the URL and open the link in new window.

Any idea how can I do this ?

Create a new visual webpart and place the below webpart in your page layout . instead of hidden value pass the url in query string . The code will check for the query string and redirect the page in new window.

Eg:https://abcd.com?Source=http://www.yoururlinnewwindow.com , onload of page will redirect to new page .

       SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
        {

            if (Request.QueryString["Source"] != null)
            {
                string Source = Request.QueryString["Source"].ToString();
                HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect(Source);
            }
        });

Use a combination of a new JavaScript section in the main place holder of the page layout and the hidden field's value.

The new page layout code might look something like this in the standard view:

<script>
var url = <SharePointWebControls:FieldValue FieldName="PopupURL" runat="server"/>;
window.open(url,'name','height=200,width=150');
</script>

To edit the PopupURL field, you probably want to make use of the PublishingWebControls:EditModePanel

This Javascript worked perfectly for me. Thank you all for your support.

var url = document.getElementById("").value; window.open(url,"", 'height=500,width=500');
