Breaking out of the pop up window 1

LaPluma · Dec 5, 2002

Hello

I have a pop up window which contains a form. The form, once submitted, calls a "Thank you" page. This works OK, but the "Thank you" page appears in the pop up window!

Is it possible in JavaScript to somehow close the pop up window when the form is submitted, and to call the "Thank you" page as a normal size Web page?

Many thanks in anticipation.

try this..you can see the extra stuff and add it to your page

Code:

<html>
<body>
form me
<form name='form1'

Code:

action='thanks.html' target='_blank' onSubmit='self.close()'

Code:

>
<input type=text name='email'>
<input type=submit value=submit>
</form>
</body>
</html>

hope that helps, if ya got any questions just ask. "Those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly." - Robert F. Kennedy

Hello Dookie

Many thanks for your reply and my aplogies for the delay in getting back.

I have this:

<form name="welcome" method="post" action="welcome1.asp" onSubmit="return ValidateEmail(document.welcome.email.value)">

and I have taken your:

target='_blank' onSubmit='self.close()'>

hoping that it might work, but it doesn't.

In other words, this doesn't work:

<form name="welcome" method="post" action="welcome1.asp" onSubmit="return ValidateEmail(document.welcome.email.value)">
target='_blank' onSubmit='self.close()'>

Any ideas?

here ya go:

Code:

<form name=&quot;welcome&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;welcome1.asp&quot; onSubmit=&quot;return ValidateEmail(document.welcome.email.value);window.close()&quot;
target='_blank'>

that should fix the problem "Those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly." - Robert F. Kennedy
