open post in new window HELP!!

[gregg]

I have the folowing code implimented. when the post button is pressed
it places the info in the existing window. How can I make it open a
new window for the new data?

htp.p('<TD><A HREF=javascript:_SubmitForm("PARAMETER_FORM")><IMG
SRC="/sec/image/info.bmp" TARGET="_top" BORDER=0
ALIGN=ABSMIDDLE></A></TD>');

Sorry if there is not enough info. I am new at this.

This is item 4.37 covered by the comp.lang.javascript FAQ
In your code, img element can not have a target attribute. Also, you
should avoid using a href="javascript: construct which is known to be
bad, to create problems. This is again an item in the FAQ (4.24).

Finally, best is to give an url where we can examine the code of the
whole page.

Change
TARGET="_top"
to
TARGET="_blank"

Change
TARGET="_top"
to
TARGET="_blank"

target attribute in an <img> element is invalid markup and can not be
rendered anyway.

You're absolutely right. I saw the HREF tag and stopped thinking.

Try adding TARGET="_blank" inside the (unshown) <FORM> tag.

P.S. What good does TARGET="_top"inside the <IMG> tag do?

but window.open(...). And that is utter nonsense.
