ok, this issue seems to be deeper than what I thought. I'll start from the
beginning. I have a survey on my site built in php. Is what I would like
to do is after the user votes, have the results pop-up in a new window. The
survey is working so far as, if I remove the window.open the results will
display in the same browser window in a new page and the db will be updated.
However, when I add the onClick event handler the window that pops up is
blank and the database does not get updated. The source in the pop-up
window reads </body></html>. I have three files... index.phtml which is the
main page and I use include("poll.php"); on the index.phtml file to write
out the poll. Then there is the vote.php which is used to update the db and
display the results. Whew.. long winded. Hopefully that will clear
anything up.
p.s. If I change type="submit" to type="button" the pop-up window will load
the index.phtml page. If anyone needs more code snippets or anything
please.. let me know.
Thanks again.

First of all, I believe since you are using javascript on your button you
shouldn't use type="submit". Change it to type="button", which means it will
have no effect for browsers that don't have javascript enabled when clicked.
That could be an error, for one. But then again, it might not.
It might cause it to be submitted to one page and opened on another, which
very well may be what you want to happen. However it might be that the
window is being opened first then the data is submitted second, thus the
error that's being caused. To fix it just add the window.open function in
the <head> area of your document, so that as soon as the page is viewed the
window pops up. Annoying if the user hits refresh, but what you could do is
use a Meta-Refresh to take them from the page that pops up the window to the
page that user should be normally seing.
Next, how is it that you are getting the data and what data are you getting?
For instance, are you using the id you are submitting to the other page to
see how that user voted? Or are you just tracking who's viewing that page?
Further, does what you are displaying depend on what id is being submitted?
Lastly, view source on your HTML page and ensure all the fields are getting
filled out like you expect them to. It happens all the time that by using
View Source I find what my problem was.
