"Why" is central. If it's down to the idiosyncratic preferences of a client you can't argue with, or the results of extensive user testing that you likewise can't really argue with - well, there's no argument! Using a second screen for a preview with a "Go back to edit" option is used by Yahoo! and Amazon, who I always assume pour a lot of funds into user testing. If you've got a client or niche audience with their own set-in-stone ideas, though, on with the JS... Bear in mind that in HTML 4, the FORM tag has a TARGET attribute, just the same as A (_blank, _top, etc.), so you could just use this to fire the form into a new window, although you'd not be able to control the size, etc. of the _blank window. You could set the FORM TARGET to "confirmWin", though, and onsubmit create this window with JS for the form to be submitted into. TARGET is deprecated in XHTML, but maybe switching DOCTYPE would be simpler in this case, if you're currently working in XHTML. The deprecation of TARGET for A caused a lot of kerfuffle with people trying to come up with slick, compliant alternatives in JS, so maybe searching the web for stuff related to this would bring up solutions if the above 2 don't work.
