I'm currently working on an e-mail newsletter which contains a response form that submits back to my website. How can I get the form to open a new browser window (when a reader submits it) so I can display a confirmation page. Everything I have tried opens the window and looks for the confirmation page on the local pc even though I use an absolute link to the site.

e.g
<form name="form1" method="post" target="pop" onsubmit="window.open('http://www.mysite.com/_scripts/processResponse.asp','pop','menubar=1,toolbar=1,resizable=1,scrollbars=1,width=760,height=500,left=0 ,top=0')">

or

<form name="form1" method="post" target="_blank" action="http://www.mysite.com/_scripts/processResponse.asp">

Please help!

<form name="form1" method="post" target="_blank"
action="http://www.mysite.com/_scripts/processResponse.asp">

that should work, I don't see why it would not...
do you have a page where this bizar thing occurs for us to check?

I have tried it directly in the browser and it works. But the problem still exists when I try it in the e-mail. If you want, mail your e-mail address to me (marthew at compusup dot com) and I'll send you the newsletter.

I've checked it, and it works fine from gmail and everyone.net mail services(I forwarded it to another email I have).

It might cause problems in outlook though, I'll try it now.
