How can I make the document.formname.submit() to open in a new window?

[mikek12004]

Upon clicking on a link I want to go to another page with lots of data (which I do not wish to pass through GET so I used post like this)
the links is

<a onClick="display1(1)" onMouseOver="this.style.cursor='pointer'" class="a3" >click here</a>

and just above

<form name="f1" id="f1" method="post" action="http://127.0.0.1/dome/main.php?page=69">
<input type="hidden" name="info" id="info"  value=""/> 
</form>

<script type="application/javascript">
function display1(num)
{
	if (num=='1')
	{
		document.f1.info.value='PA0720001|02861|02875|02708|02708|PA0720004|PA0720005|PA0720006|11114002169|11114002143|11114004269|11114004249|11114004229|11114000103|11114001109|11115002169|11125002169|BTT0000006|BTT0000005';
	}
	else if (num=='2')
	{
		document.f1.info.value='BTT0000005';
	}
	else if (num=='3')
	{
		document.f1.info.value='BTT0000006|02708';
	}
	//document.f1.action='';
	document.f1.submit();
}
</script>

but it opens in the same page and not in a new one as I want any help?

but it opens in the same page and not in a new one as I want any help?

why should it open in a new page?

[mikek12004]

I do not want to lose the previous page (think of it as a page of contents from which the user clicks various links)

then the only thing coming to my mind is window.open(), you may be able to pass something through window.opener.

Try the target attribute. You can add it with JavaScript if you want.

[mikek12004]

try the target attribute in js

Tried to put it directly in the <a> tag didn't do anything, haven't tried to put it through js but probably will have the same effect

Add it to the form, not to the link
