submit form & open page with 1 button

[Gregg]

Hello,
I would like to submit the contents of a form by clicking
on a "submit" button and then have another page open.
The idea is that I want to gather information about the
people who are opening a particular page by forcing
them to first fill out a form. I tried using the standard
html "submit' function and then java script to open the page,
and the page would open, but the form info would not be sent.
I assume I need to do both the submit and page open in Java
script but don't know how. Can you please help?

Thanks in advance,
Gregg

Hi Gregg!
You must define your button not as a Submit button. You have to define in
html following:

<input type="BUTTON" value="Submit it!" onClick="performProcess();">

And in your Javascript part you will need following lines:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

var OpenWindow;
var windowprops = "toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0, " + "menubar=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=0,width=800,height=600";

function performProcess() {
OpenWindow = window.open("nameOfyourPage.html", "nameOfPage", windowprops);
document.yourFormName.submit();
}

</SCRIPT>


that should works. If I have understood your intention.

Bye.
