how to show the reponse page into a new blank window?

[Michael]

Hi,

I create site with a prefix FramSet layout.
The main page contains HTML <Form> function like this

<Form name=my_form method=post action=my_action.asp>
<input name=search_string type="text" value="user_input_here">
<input name=submit type=submit value=submit>
</Form>

when user click submit button, the server side runs my_action.asp and send
the results back.

By default the result page will be showed in the same frame erea.
How can I show the result page to a new blank window?

Thanks

Michael

Try using the target tag in your form

<form target="_new" ...

Thank you very much

By the way, could you pls tell me what's the different for "new" and "_new"?

"new" creates a window with the name new. So, if in any other frame if you
refer to a target of "new", you will actually be opening the page in this
one.

The "_new" creates a new, unnamed window everytime.

No, you are thinking of target="_blank" which DOES open a new window every
time. Using target="_new" will keep on opening the same window called
_new.
