form results in new window (strictly speaking) Options

[jimlongo]

I use this code to put a Google search on some pages

HTML

<form method=GET action="http://www.google.com/search" target="_blank">
<div><input type=hidden name=ie value=iso-8859-1></div>
<div><input type=hidden name=oe value=iso-8859-1></div>
<table><tr><td>
<a href="http://www.google.com/">
<img src="http://www.google.com/logos/Logo_40wht.gif" alt="Google"></a>
</td>
<td>
<input type=text name=q size=31 maxlength=255 value="">
<input type=submit name=btnG VALUE="Google Search">
<input type=hidden name=domains value="domain.com"><br> <input type=radio name=sitesearch value="domain.com" checked> domain.com<img src="images/spacer.gif" height="1" width="15" alt=""> <input type=radio name=sitesearch value=""> www<br>
</td></tr></table>
</form>

I want to remove the target="_blank" from there but still have it open in another window.


this is the javascript I normally use to open a link in a new window . . .

CODE

<a href="http://www.someplace.com"  onclick="java script:openWin('http://www.someplace.com'); return false">

Is there a way to combine this to make the search results open in a new window when I'm using a STRICT DOCTYPE?

Thanks,
jim

I got that TARGET is a no-no, so that's why i'm trying to inject some javascript in the form. But I can't seem to get it to work, I've tried onclick in the submit section

CODE

<input type=submit name=btnG VALUE="Google Search" onclick="java script:openWin('http://www.google.com/search'); return false">

and onsubmit

CODE

<input type=submit name=btnG VALUE="Google Search" onsubmit="java script:openWin('http://www.google.com/search'); return false">

and I've tried it in the action line in place of target="_blank" as well but none of those options do anything.


I'm afraid i'm not too fluent in javascript or forms, and my friend Google is leading me nowhere so i could use a little fish or literal direction here.

Thanks,

You need the query string with the search terms after the URL. I tried to find out how to get that from the form page onsubmit, but couldn't find anything, so I guess you'll have to let the script add the form field name/value pairs one by one before submitting.

and I've tried it in the action line in place of target="_blank" as well but none of those options do anything.

This appears to work:

CODE

<form action="..." onsubmit="this.target='_blank';">
