When I've had to do something like this in the past, I didn't
actually change the target, but rather caused the response page to
use the new target as part of its page loading. That is, the
response page would have an onload handler which would load the
necessary content in a new target.
If your new target is a new window, pop-up blockers may foil this,
and of course, you'll have to make sure to preserve any relevant
state, since the onload handler will initiate a separate request.
Can you make that work?

Hi all
I have the following problem:
I have a button on my form that uses javascript to change to form target
before submitting because I'm exporting an RTF generated in my action to the
new browser, as follows
<html:submit property="exportFlag"
onclick="set('export');setFormTarget('_export')"
disabled="false">Create Graph (Popup)</html:submit>
function setFormTarget(newTarget){
document.forms[0].target=newTarget;
}
The thing is I want to be able to use the validate() method in my Form
object and return to the ORIGINAL browser if an error is encountered...
so is there anything I can do within the action to affect that?
Thanks
