Submitting a form to a new window

If you want to open the result of a form submission in to a new window you can without having to go via the server. This is how you would do it using Javascript.

Say we have a form like the following:

<form class="windowForm" action="/your/post/page" method="post">
	<input  type="text" name="name"
			value="Dave Taylor" />
	<input type="submit" value="Send" />
</form>

Ordinarily when submitted this will send the current page to the action location of the form. However there are times when you might want to post the form in to a new window are an iframe within the page (say inside a dialog).
