target as in the form attribute

In my appl devl I utilize an extra window when my current form is asked to generate a pdf report. Works well since that way the user can generate one report into a new window, read it, close it, and still have the reports menu in front of him/her and generate a 2nd report.

I'm experiencing a problem tho and I'm guessing it's associated with ie9 or FPDF. In my reports menu form, when I click on a button that will generate a pdf, I alter the form's target to create a new window. This used to work last fall, but since then I have a new laptop running ie9, not 8. The target changing js logic is working as far as I can see (alerts in my js) but the effect is not there. Instead of a new window, the pdf opens up in the same window where the menu was and so when the user does a back he ends up going up one too many levels and has to re-request the reports menu.

Didn't have this much trouble originally setting this up as I'm having now trying to debug this. I'm using the FPDF extension/class to generate my pdfs - made no recent changes there. Also my concept works very well still in a simple html document that has only two buttons on it which I created today to test a theory. That is - maybe it's not just IE9, but FPDF.

Anyone have any experience in this area?
