Question

JavaScript post request like a form submit shows you how to submit a form that you create via POST in JavaScript. Below is my modified code.

var form = document.createElement('form');  form.setAttribute('method', 'post'); form.setAttribute('action', 'test.jsp');  var hiddenField = document.createElement('input');    hiddenField.setAttribute('name', 'id'); hiddenField.setAttribute('value', 'bob'); form.appendChild(hiddenField); document.body.appendChild(form); // Not entirely sure if this is necessary           form.submit(); 

What I would like to do is open the results in a new window. I am currently using something like this to open a page in a new window:

onclick = window.open(test.html, '', 'scrollbars=no,menubar=no,height=600,width=800,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,status=no'); 

Answer 1

Add

<form target='_blank' ...></form> 

or

form.setAttribute('target', '_blank'); 

to your form’s definition.
