Form HTML Submit in popup

[Johan]

I have a form that submit to the same page when double click on a product:
<form method="post" action="quotes.asp" name="form1"
onDblClick="javascript:formHandler()">
How can I submit the form in a popup window and another page using a html
link?
Following code doesn't work because of the nested apostrophes in the
javascript.

<a href="#"
onclick="window.open('javascript:document.form1.ac tion='savequote.asp';
document.form1.submit();','popup','width=150, height=100,top=' + topPos +
',left=' + leftPos);">Save Quote</a>

<script language="JavaScript">
var w = 400, h = 200;
if (document.all || document.layers) {
w = screen.availWidth;
h = screen.availHeight;
}
var popW = 200, popH = 150;
var leftPos = (w-popW)/2, topPos = (h-popH)/2;
</script>

You need to define the form in the following manner (note the target):

<form action="savequote.asp" target="popup" name="quote">
... form data ..
</form>

The link like this

<A HREF="javascript:saveQuote();">Save Quote</A>

And some script code

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

function saveQuote() {

// first open window with right target
popup = window.open("about:blank", "popup", "etc..");

// then submit form into this window
document.quote.submit();
}
</SCRIPT>

That should work.

And some script code

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<script type="text/javascript">
function saveQuote() {

// first open window with right target
popup = window.open("about:blank", "popup", "etc..");

// then submit form into this window
document.quote.submit();
document.forms['quote'].submit();
}
</SCRIPT>

That should work.
