onSubmit

I solved this before like 2 years ago on this forum, but I cannot find it in the archive.

here is my problem, I need a popup window to honor the window attributes onsubmit but they aren't

<form method="post" name="form1" action="http://www.iwon.com" target="myWin" onsubmit="window.open('','myWin','toolbar=no,status=no,location=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,widt h=250,height=250');return true;">
....
</form>

<script language="javascript">
function forme()
{ document.form1.submit() }
</script>

<a href="#" onclick="forme()">Link</a>

I know that the attributes default to no, this is just overkill. I thought that we figured there is just a problem doing this with the submit() function, but if I use an input button I should be fine. I cannot use an input button, all help is appreciated. Thanks

Why not move the onsubmit code to your forme function?

calling document.form1.submit() won't fire the onsubmit event handler. just call window.open() before that, inside your forme() function as Roy said.

not sure why I didn't think of that but that worked :o
