form help

[Cogen2]

Hi there. This isn't really a PHP question, however I'm coding with PHP therefore I'm asking the question here on phpbuilder.

All I want to do is create an HTML form, and have the action of that form post to another web page. The thing I don't understand is... how can I post the form to another web page and have it open in a new window? Please help.

hmm, not a solution, just a hint: there's a javascript eventhandler
called onSubmit="javascript:function()"

hope that helps

found this out on the web. maybe it'll help/work.

<script>
function submitMe()
{ popup = window.open("","newwin","toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,width=600,height=400,resizeable=yes");
document.frm.target = 'newwin';
document.frm.submit();
return true;
}
</script>

<form name="frm" action="newusers.asp" onSubmit="return submitMe()">
<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

I've always done it this way:

Instead of using <input type="submit" name="SubmitButton" value="Click Me">

I use <input type="button" name="NormalButton" value="Click Me" onclick="SomeJavaScriptFunction();">
