Opening A New Window From the Form

[Anon]

Here is my code:

<form method="post" action="../testaccess/public_appraiser_search_results.php" >
<p><b>Search for an appairser:&nbsp; </b>
<p align="left"> <font size="1">City: </font>
<input type="text" name="City" size="6">
<font size="1">State:</font>
<input type="text" name="State" size="2">

      <input type="submit" value="Search" name="Search">

</form>

What I need to do is when the user clicks on the Search button have the search results open in a new browser window.

I tried using a javascript function with onSubmit in my form tag, but then my form field values are not passed to the php search page in my action attribute.

Any ideas on how I can open the php page in a new window and have it receive the form field values would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bruce

I believe I understand your dilemma and I have something for you to try. I faced the same issue and this worked for me.

Add a script to your search page:

<SCRIPT language="javascript">function popWin() {
FormResults=window.open("","FormResults","");
}
</SCRIPT>

Modify your search form along the lines below. I used an image type instead of a button, but it doesn't matter. Hope this helps.

<FORM method="GET" action="http://whatever.com/file.php" target="FormResults">

<INPUT type=image name="click to search" onclick="popWin()" src="cool.gif" border="0" width="57" height="20" align="left" alt="click to search">

etc ...
