okay, looking at the javascript, your culprate might be here:

[code]
location = 'name=Forums&file=profile&mode=viewprofile&u='+the_form.channel.value;}
[/code]

the "location" part emulates a header location redirect. redirects will not open new windows. you could replace that line of code with [code]window.open('name=Forums&file=profile&mode=viewprofile&u='+the_form.channel.value','_blank');[/code] and it should open a new window instead of redirecting. HOWEVER, you might have problems with popup blockers.

Keeping the target="_blank" in the <form> header, You could also try changing that line out with this:[code]document.forms[0].action = 'name=Forums&file=profile&mode=viewprofile&u='+the_form.channel.value;
return = true;
}[/code]
return = true should tell the form to submit to the new location.

if it gives you trouble, try adding a question mark before the name= part:
[code]document.forms[0].action = '?name=Forums&file=profile&mode=viewprofile&u='+the_form.channel.value; [/code]
[/quote]

thanks for all your help! but do you know why i might be getting error on page when i use

[code]<script type="text/javascript">
function cp_go( the_form ) {
if ( !the_form.channel.value ) { return; }
document.forms[0].action =
'name=Forums&file=profile&mode=viewprofile&u=+'the_form.channel.value;}
return = true;}
</script>[/code]

actually every way you stated above gave me error on page.

Search User Profiles:<br>
</font><font size="1" face="Verdana"> <span style="background-color: #FFFFFF"><font color="#000000">
<input name="channel" type="text" class="input_field" style="height: 20px; width: 280px" size="20" maxlength="15">

<p style="text-align: center"> <span style="background-color: #FFFFFF">
<font color="#008000" size="2" face="Verdana">
<input name="cplogin" class="login_but" type="button" onClick="cp_go(this.form)" value="Search For Profile" width="49" height="20">
<input name="rform" class="login_but" type="reset" onClick="cp_go(this.form)" value="Reset Form" width="49" height="20"></form>
