[thelist] Form Results in Pop-Up Window?

First off, I don't think you can use the onSubmit function this way. Try 
removing the onSubmit and just using the targe="_blah". This will post to 
the target page, and pop a new window.

To emulate what you want you might try to embed JavaScript inside the 
target page that "reforms" the page to the dimensions and interface you 
desire. e.g.

<script language="javascript">
self.status=0;
self.toolbar=0;
self.scrollbars=1;
self.resizable=1;
self.screenX=0;
self.screenY=0;
self.width=400;
self.height=400;
self.top=0;
self.left=0;
</script>

Not sure if that will work or not, just an idea.

Also you have some errors with your code snipet:

1 - you don't have a close on the script tag, </script> should be located 
before the closing </head> tag.

2 - the correct window.open format is:

	window.open(theURL,winName,winFeatures);

3 - nSmubit should be onSubmit

4 - as someone stated earlier, you need to close the " on you 
onSubmit="openwin()"

5 - action should be equal to your target page/URL
