[thelist] JavaScript passes form POST?

[Erik Mattheis]

You can open a pretty window and then submit the form to it by 
referencing it in the form's target attribute:

pretty_window = null;
function openPrettyWindow(){
   pretty_window = 
window.open('','pretty_window','width=200,height=200');
   return true;
}

<form target="pretty_window" name="quiz" action="quiz_results.pl" 
method="post" onSubmit="openPrettyWindow()">
