submit the form and open new window problem

[Joe]

In the following code, page1.asp is inside the frame of main.html.
When the user click submit button in page1.asp, it will submit the for
and open a new window called page2.asp. When the user clicks submit
button on page2.asp, I expected to open a new window called page3.asp
Unfortunately, it just open page3.asp in the same window as page2.asp, an
now page2.asp is gone.

However, if I just open page1.asp, and begins from there, it is fine
I think this is because page1.asp is put inside the frame.

========= main.html =============== ======
<frameset><fram e src="page1.asp" ></frameset

=============== === page1.asp =============

<form action="page2.a sp" target="_blank"

=============== === page2.asp =============

<form action="page3.a sp" target="_blank"

Any workarounds?? Thanks!

Re: submit the form and open new window problem

Check the browser setting, maybe "reuse windows for launching shortcuts"...
not something you can control from ASP (and really isn't even an ASP issue
at all, I bet you can reproduce with simple HTML files).
