iframe from submits to new page

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 31.2004

Hello, I’ve messed with this for a while now and I give up. I’m not a javascript guru, so I come to you.

I have a page with an iframe on it.
This frame has a small form and nothing else.
When I click on the submit button I need it to submit to another page

Here’s what I have…

[code]

<form method=”get” name=”thisform” action=”http://www.example.com”>
<input type=”text” name=”variable1″ size=”20″>
<input type=”button” value=”go” onclick=”window.open(document.thisform.action); thisform.submit();”>

[/code]

What am I doing wrong? How do I submit to a new window rather than the iframe where the form is?

Thanks

You don't do this with JavaScript, you simple use the "[url=http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/present/frames.html#adef-target]target[/url]" attribute. However, you will need to use a Transitional DTD to use the "target" attribute.
