[thelist] Window Popup Problem

[Bruso, John]

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your help with this. In reference to using the javascript..
I'm not worried about users who don't have javascript... this is a
controlled environment and everyone will be using javascript enabled
browsers.

The reason why there is a # in the href, and I'm using the onclick event
is because I have about 50+ href links on this page and each of them
call the same form, carrying a variable. I'm not too knowledgeable about
Javascript, but I got this to work.

So, I guess, to Chris's point, I need a way of targeting the new window
"_blank" instead of itself "#". 

But, how?

Thanks for your help guys,

John

Further to Chris' valid points:

What is the mouseover supposed to do? Right now it returns an escaped
string. Return to where?

You set a form value and send off the form with JavaScript. This
sounds dodgy to me, if you simply keep this link inside the form and
use an input type image you will submit the form for all users, not
only those with JS enabled.
