Submiting to a new window 1

[Gatorajc]

If you read the Javascript forum you have seen this so forgive me. Anyway.

I have a page that submits to a new page then closes. The problem that I am having (actually it is more annoying than a problem) is that it seems to open twice. It opens the new window seems to redirect to the same page. This is what the code looks like.

<form method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;letter_selection.asp&quot; name=&quot;unit&userid_info&quot; target = &quot;NWWINDOW&quot;>

** additional code in here **

function NewWindow()
{
NWWINDOW=window.open('letter_selection.asp','NWWINDOW','toolbar=no,status=no,
width=400,height=500');
window.close();
}

After some trouble shooting it I found it opens the new window using the function then it submits the form making it look like it redirects. I know this because in the new window you can go back and it is the same page. What I want to know is how get it to open the new window and submit at the same time.

*** Before anyone freaks this is for an intranet site and part of a workflow system. So I'm not being annoying closing the original window. It works better with it closed. *** AJ
I would lose my head if it wasn't attached.

why not ad the response.redirect into the asp page after the code is finished processing and get rid of the javascript function all together?


I may not get it the 1st or 2nd time,
but how sweet that 15th time can be.

Are you suggesting something like a redirect page. I thought about that but I want to new window to be a certain size and look and I do not know how to do that with asp. AJ

you can redirect with the properties the way you want them like this
RetVal=&quot;authtest_2.asp&quot;

RetFeatures = &quot;dialogWidth:300px;status:no;dialogHeight:200px;scroll:no;resizable:no&quot;

x = window.showModalDialog (CStr(RetVal),,CStr(RetFeatures))
