jquery - Open file in new window -

i have jquery function calls action getreport returns pdf file. action return file(renderedbytes, mimetype);

this function

function showreport() {     var clinic = $("#selectedclinic").val();     var date = $("#selecteddate").val();   var url = "/reports/getreport";      $.get(url, { selectedclinic: clinic, selecteddate: date }, function (data) {          $("#output").html(data);      }); } 

this result in the

 div $("#output")  %pdf-1.3 1 0 obj [/pdf /text /imageb /imagec /imagei] endobj 5 0 obj << /length 4660 /filter /flatedecode >> stream x ������wॳ ��k����8�zo�f剥�,9������d�w�К_���ʶ��t��*�������r��z���7k{`[tuٷm���{��ж����� ;��e=�g}7j��.n~��ގ0xy'o7���.n�[��w�d��q���1��u:����u��#�����n�v���t~���7ecwd��=fx��i�7�dj;�i��l��� 

i ideally open pdf file in new window or tab. might show file div $("#output") real question how open in new window.

by way works

@html.actionlink("view in new tab","getreport","reports", new {selectedclinic = "galway"  }, new { target="_blank" }) 

but cannot set selectedclinic parameter without doing post.

the selectedclinic should come dropdown.

thanks eamon

instead of ajax can use standard javascript window.open function.
