How to open a new page onclick on submit button?

[andrei dood]

Is it possible to submit form:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" id="payPalForm" target="_new">


and have the submit button to open a new page at the same time?

I have tried onclick="location.href=.. yet form seems to have priority over onclick, any ideas?

if you don’t need the result, I think it’s possible, otherwise not.

Write JS function function

function openWindow()
{
 window.open('new_page_address.html','_blank');
 return true;
}
 

now the HTML

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" id="payPalForm" onsubmit="return openWindow()">

Enjoy!!!

If you aren't using a strict doctype you can use the target attribute of the form.

<form action="" method ="" target="_blank" >
 

This will work for all users even those with javascript disabled.
