[thelist] Advanced popup window

[Sutherland, Paul]

Maybe i was not clear in my question.

I want to submit a form that will open in a new window of which I can control the size and features, and for this to work in non-javascript situations (obviously not controlling window size etc.)

It seemed that an extension of the method  below may work...

  <a
   href="somedoc.html"
   target="newWindow"
   onclick="window.open(this.href, this.target); return false"
  >click here</a>

any suggestions?

Well... onsubmit requires javascript. AFAIK, the only way you can post a
form to a new window without using javascript is to use the target attribute
(with the appropriate Doctype):

<form action="/polls.asp" method="post" target="_blank">

Of course you'll have no control over the window size, position, etc.
