open page into new window; page is action of form

[Candyb]

Hi,

I have a form with action="display.asp" and I was just wondering how one could open the display.asp in a new window. When the form is submitted it sends the form to the asp in the same window. How do you force it to open in a new window?

I know that you can do this with direct href links.
Is it possible to open forms action pages in new windows?
Thanks,
Candy

Try this :

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot; type=&quot;text/JavaScript&quot;>
<!--
function submitform() {
window.open('display.asp?search_string='+document.myform.search_string.value )
}
//-->
</script>

<form method=&quot;post&quot; name=&quot;myform&quot;>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;search_string&quot;>
<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Go&quot; onclick=&quot;submitform()&quot;>
</form> Regards

You can also write like this:

<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Go&quot; onclick=&quot;window.open('display.asp?search_string='+document.myform.search_string.value )&quot;>

You can also do it quite simply by adding

target="_blank"

to your <form ...> tag. Tracy Dryden
