post stops working Options

[jimfun71]

I have a basic form that works just fine.

<TD><form method="POST" action="http://www.contactform.php"><input type='hidden' name='contact' value='<?php echo $member['username']?> '></input><input id="button" type="submit" name="submit" value="Contact Member"></form></TD>

But when I add

onclick="java script:void window.open('http://www.contactform.php','',& #39;width=550,height=170,toolbar=0,menubar=0,location=1,status=0,scrollbars=0,re
sizable=0,left=600,top=400')

The window comes in a popup just as I wanted but the $_PASS stops working. The user name doesn't come through. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks guys, Jim

The javascript void operator cancels the form submission in the parent window. But even though the popup window loads contactform.php, it doesn't submit the form there.

If you want to submit the form to the popup window, perhaps this script can be used: http://agichevski.com/2013/08/17/submit-fo...ing-javascript/

Or if the new window doesn't have to be a popup, just add target="_blank" to the form start tag. This may be safer with popup blockers as well.
