I have three scenarios that seem to suggest a bug in chrome for form submission, please see example code below
1. form.submit with a named target opens a new tab the first time with the submitted data. subsequent attempts fail to open a new tab (or pull in the submitted data to the pre-existing tab) 2. form.submit with target=foobar opens a new tab the first time subsequent attempts post the new submission data to the pre-existing tab, as it should. if we close the tab.. then submit again, it fails to open a new tab. 3. form.submit with target=_blank opens a new tab the first time. form.submit with no target successfully downloads a file. form.submit with target=_blank now successfully opens a new tab! (the same is true if target=foobar both times and we close the tab). Are there any known issues with chrome form submission? It all works correctly in safari, firefox and ie. Sincerely, Alexander Example code: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/ html;charset=utf-8" /> <script language='JavaScript'> function submitForm() { form = document.getElementById('myform'); form.action = "http://www.google.com/search";; form.target = 'google'; form.submit(); } function downloadForm() { form = document.getElementById('myform'); form.action = 'file.csv'; form.target = 'self'; form.submit(); } </script> </head> <body> <form id="myform" method='GET'> <input type='hidden' name='q' value='git5' /> </form> <a href="#" onclick='downloadForm()'>download<a> <a href="#" onclick='submitForm()'>submit<a> </body> </html> -- Chromium Developers mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev
