post a http request/response in new window nomenu

dfarkish · September 20th, 2003, 12:51 AM

Hello,
I need to post a http request and have the response come back in a new window. I have tried the target attribute in the form element to open a new window for the response and it works. However I prefer to not have the menu bar/status bar in the new window. How should I specify these attributes for the new window? I would appreciate your responses.
Thank you.

You must open the new window first using the window.open method and include a name as the second parameter. Use this anme as the target attribute.

Thank you for your response. When I open a new window what should I put for the first parameter (which is the name of some document)?

I could use the window.open instead of target attribute of form element, however then the request becomes a http "get" and there are some rules in the project that I work for that does not allow a http "get" request to come in.
Thank you.

The first argument can be an empty string. I don't understand the second question. Instead of a submit button have a normal button with its onclick set to doFormPost():

Code:

function doFormPost()
{
  var oNewWin = window.open("", "newTarget", "");
  while(!oNewWin.document)
  {
    //Wait for window to open
  }
  document.forms[0].submit();
}

Your form would have the target attribute set to "newTarget".

Hi all,

I use the following code, and it works fine!

Code:

<form name="login" method=post action="https://www.example.com/login.php" target="_blank">
    <input name="user" type="text" value="">
    <input name="pass" type="text" value="">
    <input type="submit" value="Go">
</form>

Greetings.

Joel
