controlling look of new window on submit

[ppcguy]

i'm submitting a form via javascript.

form.submit();

i'd like the results of the POST to open in a new window (i can set the
target)
but while configuring certain windows frame features
(e.g. disable menu and set-size).

i can do this for GETs, with

window.open('link'....);

but not for POSTs.

help!

This is untested, but gives you the general idea.

function mySubmit() {
var newWin = window.open('','zaphod',...);
newWin.focus();
document.myForm.target = 'zaphod';
document.myForm.submit();
// optional reset
// document.myForm.target = self.name;
}

<form name="myForm" onSubmit="mySubmit();" action="..." method="POST">
....
</form>
