window.open()
is the function that you need to use to opena popup window.

and you will need to use this in the onsubmit attribute of the form element.

I personally do not like to use anything that appears at the window closing ,therefore do not like to share that knowledge as well..

The link below does that.
You only have to make sure that you load the new page in the child window at onload where is in the example below I have done this using the onclick event.

lol..but I guess you are not wake..take a look at the child window that opens,there are three links on it.the second one shows you how to open a link in the parent window.
You only have to use that in the onload event of the child window.:D
