Use an anchor tag instead of a button click. http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_a.asp[^]

You can set the target to "_base" to have it open in a new window or tab, depending on the users browser settings.

That's fine. On a button you can set the OnClientClick function to call a javascript function that uses window.open(). That will work too. Or change to an anchor tag, you can always style it to look like a button.
