Hey all, I'm just wondering if there's a way to make a new window open
when you click a form button.

Thanks for your time.

Nevermind, I got it add target="_blank" to the form tag.

DUH?

Why do you want to open a new window? Just a hint: most users do not
really like new windows opening themselves... That's one of the reasons
why HTML 4.01 strict and XHTML strict do not longer have the
target-attribute.

That's not why the target attribute isn't in the HTML 4.01 Strict DTD.
It was removed for structural reasons (it's still used with frames,
which use the other DTDs) and had nothing to do with usability.

Opening new windows is a risky business and often unwelcome, but it's
not why target disappeared.

This isn't a website for anyone else, it's a local tool for me. I'm
using it so I can enter a bunch of different data in to one site, so I
use form fields to enter the data, then submit it to SELF, then submit
each individual piece of data one by one to the site in a new window.
Saves me boatloads of time because most of the data I'm entering in to
the original site is the same every time but one part of it was
different so an auto form wouldn't work the way I needed. This way I
can enter all the info that's the same in hidden form fields and the
parts that need to change I can change and submit.
