i have the following code that i am using in cold fusion.
the select options are gerated from a coldfusion query and when the user hits run report the report runs. i need to be able to have the user hit run report and have the report run in a new window with the select option. I cannot figure this out
thanks

<select name="dateSelect">
<option value="placeholder">Select A Date</Option>
<cfoutput query="period">
<option value="http://blahblahblah.blah.com/cgi/rwcgi60.exe?#URL.ReportType#+#URL.catcode#+#URL.user#+#URL.axis1#+#URL.Axis2#+#URL.code1#+#URL.code2 #+#Period_Name#">#Period_Name#</option>
</cfoutput>
</select>

how would i set the window options then
thanks...great site

Put this in your header:
<script>
function NewWin(){
var MyPage = document.dateSelect.options[dateSelect.options.selectedIndex].value;
window.open(MyPage, 'NewWindow', "width=500,height=300,scrollbars=no");
}
</script>
Then change this:
<input type="submit" onClick="parent.location.href=dateSelect.options[dateSelect.options.selectedIndex].value;" value="Run Report">
to this:
<input type="button" onClick="NewWin();" value="Run Report">

sweeet thanks

That's what we're here for.

Oh, and welcome to the City. :)
