title: Send data from Telerik Grid to new tab/page on button click
body: <p>I have a Telerik Grid as below ( I'm relatively new to MVC and brand new to Telerik controls).  The grid is a partial view that gets updated from a list of search criteria.</p>
  
  <pre><code>@(Html.Kendo().Grid((IEnumerable&lt;MyModel&gt;)Model.MyModel)
      .Name("grid")
      .DataSource(ds =&gt; ds.Ajax()
          .Model(mod =&gt;
              {
                  mod.Id(m =&gt; m.Id);
                  mod.Field(p =&gt; p.Name).Editable(false);
              }))
  
      .Columns(columns =&gt;
      {
          columns.Template(@&lt;text&gt;&lt;/text&gt;).ClientTemplate("&lt;input type='checkbox' #= IsSelected ? checked='checked':'' # class='chkbx' value='#= Id#' name='SelectedArea' /&gt;")
                  .HeaderTemplate("&lt;input type='checkbox' id='masterCheckBox' onclick='checkAll(this)'/&gt;").Width(20);
          columns.Bound(p =&gt; p.Name).Filterable(false).Width(100);
      })
                              .Editable(ed =&gt; ed.Mode(GridEditMode.InCell))
                              .Pageable()
                              .Sortable()
                              .Scrollable()
                              .Filterable()
  )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The users need to be able to select from the grid with the check boxes, then click a button which should pop-up (new window/new tab) with a report generated from the selected items in the grid, leaving the original page alone.</p>
  
  <p>If I submit the page, it sends the selected list back but loses the partial page of the Grid (and all the selected items.  If I just create a link and open a new page it doesn't post any of the data so I don't know which ones were selected. here are some of the attempts I made for buttons/actions.  I suspect this is much simpler than I am finding it to be, but I can't see the forest through the trees...</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input type="submit" name="Command" value="Print Call List" formtarget="_blank" /&gt;
  &lt;input type="submit" name="Command" value="Print Call List" onclick="location.href='@Url.Action("CallList", "Reports", new { target="_blank" })'" /&gt;
  @Html.ActionLink("Print Call List", "CallList", "Reports", null, new { target = "_blank" })
  </code></pre>
