submitting a form but first opening a new window

[zubz]

Hi,

basically i have a form. when i click the submit button and want to open a new window and have the form variables posted to it? Is this possible using javascript?

If so does anyone have an example of how i can do this?

Many thanks

you can try making the form's target "_blank"...

<form ... target="_blank" ... >

Or you can use the window.open command and pass the parameters in the URL.

Cheers,

Although if the data is more than around 1K or so, the URL method will most likely fail in a lot of browsers - so setting your form's target to be a new window (and yes - you can target popup windows) would be a better move.

Hope this helps,
Dan
