Submitting a form - How to get it to open a new window/tab instead of reloading

[TeddyKiller]

When you submit a form, it loads the page to the form action.

Instead I'm wanting it to open it in another tab/window

How can I do this? thanks.

You do that in HTML or transitional XHTML using the attribute target="_blank" in the A tag:

 

<a href="fred.html" target="_blank">

 

Some people use _top.

How will that submit a form though? I don't understand.

 

 

edit:

Don't worry, I used _blank in the form tag. It works

Sorry I didn't read your message properly.  I can sort of see it might be possible but I have never done it.  Wouldn't there be problems with pop up blockers?  If not could you just open a new Window (the PHP page) and send the data in a GET string created by Javascript from the form inputs?
