Can't Pass Form Elements to a Page in New Window

I’m not sure if this belongs on the JSP forum, the CFM forum, or HTML, but I’ll start here.

I have a JSP page that has an embedded HTML form:

Index.jsp:

<html>
<body>

…..embedded HTML form

<form name="CustEntry" method="post" action="javascript:window.open('">
<input name="CustNumber" type="text" size="20" maxlength="20"><br><br>

<a href="#" onClick="document.CustEntry.submit();" border=0><img src="images/submitBut.gif" border="0" width="69" height="17"></a>
</form>


</body>
</html>

As long as I don’t have the “javascript:window.open() function” in the action, my form field CustNumber gets passed to the new screen with no problem, but now when I add the window.open(), I get a complaint on the new screen that it cannot find the form element.

Why was the form element not found?

Thanks in advance.

try this method instead...
Code: 
<form name="CustEntry" method="post" action="[URL unfurl="true"]http://webserver/CustProject/validScreen.cfm"[/URL] target=_blank>

Thanks for your response, but I added that. I replace the open.window() with target=_blank and I can't get the form to submit, and I have a "Error on Page" in the bottom corner of my browser.

Here's what I have:

<form name="CustEntry" method="post" target="_blank" action=" <input name="CustNumber" type="text" size="20" maxlength="20"><br><br>


<a href="#" onClick="document.CustEntry.submit();" border=0><img src="images/submitBut.gif" border="0" width="69" height="17"></a>
</form>



And this is contained in an include file to be used by my .jsp.

Thanks for any assistance.

instead of using this...
Code: 
<a href="#" onClick="document.CustEntry.submit();" border=0><img src="images/submitBut.gif" border="0" width="69" height="17"></a>
try this...
Code: 
<INPUT TYPE="IMAGE" SRC="images/submitBut.gif" BORDER="0" WIDTH="69" HEIGHT="17" VALUE="SUBMIT"></INPUT>
