Hello, Can any one please guide me? I have a form and action page. I want the
results of the action page to be displayed in a new window and not on the form
window. That is I select the values on the form. I submit the form and want the
results to displayed in the new window. I read that we can open new window
using javascript. I have open new windows when an event is trigeered. In the
action page, we don't have any interaction. So I am not sure how to implement
this. Please advise. The action page extracts information from the database
and populates an excel file. I am using "cfcontent" tag to implement
this. So I would be easier for the user to see the excel file in a new window
and close the window when they are done. The form can be displayed for the next
selection. Please advise Thanks in advance Eswari
