Popup Windows: From a FormFor our next variation on the popup theme we're going to open the popup from a form. In this example we're going to change the script around. The following script is custom designed for opening a popup from a form. (We'll gloss over the details of how the script works for now. For the gory details on this script see Under the Hood: The Popup From a Form Script.) It works with forms that use bothPOST and
GET . Copy the following script exactly as-is into the <HEAD>
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"> <!-- function popupform(myform, windowname) { if (! window.focus)return true; window.open('', windowname, 'height=200,width=400,scrollbars=yes'); myform.target=windowname; return true; } //--> </SCRIPT>
Now we'll add some code so that the popup opens when the user submits the form. Add an
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="../cgi-bin/mypopupcgi.pl" onSubmit="popupform(this, 'join')">
