POST data to a new page

[William E Hatto]

Hi all,

Sorry if this sounds a little ambiguous, but....

I have a page with 4 submit buttons. How can I make 1 of these buttons spawn
a new page AND use the data posted from the orginal page?

Can this be down. I know I could do it with a querystring but I perfer not
too.

Cheers, Bill.

Set the target attribute of the form element to "_blank".

The target attribute can be changed dynamically using client-side code.
Please go to a dhtml or scripting group for future help with this.

I would change the INPUT from a Submit to a Button, and use this in the
onclick event:

var oForm =document.getElementByID("form_id")
oForm.target="_blank"
oForm.submit()

HTH,

Don't forget to reset the target afterward, or all buttons will adopt the
"new window" behavior. For example:

oForm.target = "_blank"
oForm.submit()
oForm.target = self
