javascript and form submition

[Anon]

I am trying to submit a form to a php page. The form sends variables along with it. There are too many variables to try to know which ones will be passed when it happens -- the script takes care of that. I am just trying to submit a form and have the window that opens up -- the action="playlist.php" to open up in a new small window.

Just like this: "<a href="javascript:newWindow()">", but for a form!

Anyone know how to do this?

<form action="foo" method="bar" onSubmit="javascript:window.open()">

ta-da!

In this case, i think, you can submit the form to a hidden iframe. just like this:

<iframe name=myIframe width=0 height=0>
.......
<form action="playlist.php" target="myIframe">
.........

of course , if you only want to submit it to a opened small window, try this way: i didn't test it , maybe it would not work. 🙂

<script>
function submitToOpen()
{
window.open('','winName','')
}
</script>
<form action="playlist.php" target="winName">

anyway ,the "target" propertiy is the key.

hope it helped.

o.i it should be:
<form action="playlist.php" target="winName" onsubmit="submitToOpen()">
