Right now it only opens in the same window, I want it to open in a new window upon submisson.

Here's what's in the head:

<script type="text/javascript"> 
function getURL(val){ 
base = 'http://www.domain.com/'; 
location = base + val; 
return false; 
} 
</script>

Here's the what's in the body:

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="" onsubmit="return getURL(this.url.value)"> 
<label> 
<input type="text" name="url" /> 
</label> 
<label> 
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" /> 
</label> 
</form>

  • um, window.open() or just set the target and action. – epascarello Jun 25 '14 at 16:58

  • Not going to work....It will submit the form to a new window, but not take them to the location they are after. – epascarello Jun 25 '14 at 16:59

    Why? It is in the [documentation](http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_form_target.asp): "_Display the response received in a new window or tab_". – blex Jun 25 '14 at 17:00

If you want to do it in javascript, but it may get blocked by a popup blocker. 

window.open(location);
