How about


      <FORM name="main" METHOD="GET"
onSubmit="MM_openBrWindow('dummy.htm','CARDS','scrollbars=yes,resizable=
yes,width=640,height=600')" ACTION="inputuserdetails.cgi" TARGET="CARDS">

You may need to pay around with the dummy.htm url - which if used should 
represent a
real placeholding file, and preferably a small one already in browser 
cache, since
there is a danger of contention for the window which can crash some 
browsers.

You might try a button in the form, with this form tag at the top

      <FORM name="main" METHOD="GET"  ACTION="inputuserdetails.cgi" 
TARGET="CARDS">

<input type="button" value="Submit"
onClick="MM_openBrWindow('dummy.htm','CARDS','scrollbars=yes,resizable=
yes,width=640,height=600');setTimeout('window.document.main.submit()',2000)
" >

This gives the window 2 seconds to open and get dummy.htm (which may be 
a completely
blank bodied file) before any submission.

Thanks a lot for that, it works very well except that the browser window 
still has the address toolbar on it, the old one did'nt, even though the 
code did not specify either way. Bit strange that, anyway the principle 
works, and no reliability problems!
