Good Day, I am trying to make this code run on a new window; Below is my code:

TEST1.PHP

<html><head>

<script>
    function submitForm(action)
    {
        document.getElementById('1').action = action;
        document.getElementById('1').submit();
    }
</script>

<title>test</title></head><body><form id="1" name="test-1" action="test3.php" method="post">
<input name="fname"><input name="lname"><br>

<input value="Save" name="save" )="" type="submit">
<input value="Nwindow" name="nwindow" onclick="submitForm('test2.php');
window.open='test2.php'" type="submit">

TEST2.PHP

<html><head>
<form id="2" name="test-2" action="test2.php" method="post">
<title>test</title></head><body>

<input name="fname" value="<?php echo $_POST['fname']; ?>">
<input name="lname" value="<?php echo $_POST['lname']; ?>">
<br>
</form>
</body></html>

They both work correctly but what i wanted for nwindow button to perform TEST2.PHP on another window/browser; I tried window open but it is not working.

I am new with javascript so i am not sure it this can be done.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.

Simply use target="_blank" on your first form.

Read the manual for more info on forms: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/form

EDIT: If you want to only load the new tab for one of the submit buttons, do this:

<form id="myForm" name="test-1" action="test3.php" method="post">
<input name="fname"><input name="lname"><br>

<input value="Save" name="save" type="button" onclick="submitForm('test3.php','_self');">
<input value="Nwindow" name="nwindow" type="button" onclick="submitForm('test2.php','_blank');">

Then in your JS:

function submitForm(action,target)
{
  document.getElementById('myForm').target = target
  document.getElementById('myForm').action = action;
    document.getElementById('myForm').submit();
}
