Okay, I've gotten it to work now...
Javascript as follows:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
function Preview() {
//'LetterPreview','toolbar=yes,location=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrol
lbars=yes,resizable=yes'
var previewWindow;
previewWindow =
window.open("","LetterPreview","toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar
=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,height=600,width=525");
document.Letter.action = "letterPreview.cfm";
document.Letter.target = "LetterPreview";
document.Letter.submit();
//document.Letter.action="letterPreview.cfm";
//document.Letter.submit()
return true;
}
function Send() {
document.Letter.action = "letterSendUpdate.cfm";
document.Letter.target = "_self";
document.Letter.submit();
return true;
}
//-->
</script>
And the button code:
