Post the contents of a form to a nwe window

[jlawler]

I have a form that will post it's contents to a jsp (print.jsp)...but I want this jsp to open in a new window...how can I do this ???

<code>
<form name=&quot;frm_print_des&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; action= &quot;<%= support.sTag(&quot;/services/print.jsp&quot %>&quot; >

<a cursor=&quot;hand&quot; href=&quot;javascript:SubmitForm('frm_print_des');&quot; onMouseOut=&quot;self.status='';return true;&quot;><img src=&quot;../images/print.gif&quot; ></a>


Then the submitForm function does the following..
function SubmitForm(sForm){document.forms[sForm].submit();
}

[tt]<form target=&quot;_blank&quot; name=&quot;frm_print_des&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; action= &quot;<%= support.sTag(&quot;/services/print.jsp&quot %>&quot; >[/tt]

Thanks for that dwarfthrower.....is it possible to specify the dimensions of this window (i.e remove the toolbar, scrollbar etc.) can the window.open method be used.. ??

You would have to create the window prior to submitting the form - kinda like a blank &quot;pop-under&quot; advertisement. Do this using window.open() (Don't forget to name the window).

Then you can use that window name as the value of [tt]target[/tt] for the form. Just use some code in either the onsubmit or onclick events to focus the new window.
