Help With Forms and iFrames

thetzfreak · 02-16-2006, 07:13 PM

I've got a question that maybe the NamePros members can help me with. I've got a yahoo login form inside an iFrame, and I'm trying to make the target page open in a new window, not in an iFrame. How do I do this? I did a bit of looking on google, and all I found was to put the following code into the <form tag:

Quote:

onsubmit="window.open('','foo',
'resizable=1,scrollbars=1,width=400,height=300')"

This just made a new window open, but the target page was still opened inside the frame. I'm not sure what the 'foo' is...
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/168308-help-with-forms-and-iframes.html

Here is the code that I have inside the iFrame:

Code:

		<form method="post" action="https://login.yahoo.com/config/login?" autocomplete="off" onsubmit="window.open('','foo',
'resizable=1,scrollbars=1,width=400,height=300')" name="login_form">

				<input type="hidden" name=".done" value="http://mail.yahoo.com">
				<p><label for="username">Yahoo! ID: </label>
				<input name="login0" id="username0" value="" size="17" class="yreg_ipt" type="text"> <label for="passwd">Password: </label>
				<input name="passwd0" id="passwd0" value="" size="17" class="yreg_ipt" type="password">&nbsp<class="yreglgsb"><input type="submit" value="Login">
				</p>
				</form>

Yep... it's a yahoo login.

Thanks.

I may be little help as I dunno much about this, and i'm not quite positive I understand ya..but do you mean adding target="_blank"> to the end of the domain name? Example being... "http://mail.yahoo.com"target="_blank"> or no? It may be diff with a form?

As I said you probably know me but I used to use Iframes and thats what i had to do to all my links, not sure if that's what you need tho.

EDIT: Woops, all you have to do do is put target="_new" in the <form> tag. Problem solved!

Your best bet is to not have it in the Iframe at all, as no matter what the Iframe will reload. You should just put the login form on the page staticly, by using a php include.
