Yes, I can do the below but I was going to try to avoid having to use
javascript to get the selected values and do the setting etc. Actually
what I came up with works pretty well and others might want to use it.
So here it is (for when you want to submit your form from a different
link/button to a new window, but leave other submits submitting to the
same window):
Not sure if this is the best approach but it seems to work. The key is
assigning your current window.name to the target the form will
normally submit to (so it doesn't open a new one). Then, on the cases
where you want a new popup window you change the current window name
then change it back.
<script>
window.name = "windowChoice"; //this has to match the form target name
//called from some other link or button
function iWantAPopUp() {
window.name = "somethingElse";
form.dispatch.value='whatever';
popUp('about:blank', 'yes', 'windowChoice');
form.submit();
window.name = "windowChoice";
}
function popUp(url, menuBar, windowName) {
if ( !menuBar ) {
menuBar = "yes";
}
if ( !windowName ) {
windowName = "popup";
}
var pop = window.open(url, windowName,
'width=750,height=600,status=yes,menubar='+menuBar+',resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes');
pop.focus();
}
</script>
<html:form action="notificationAction" target="windowChoice">

Can you do it in Javascript? something like the following:
Parent window:
<input type="button" name="preview" value="preview distribution"
onclick="openPopup();" >
Popup window
<script language="javascript">
// getting multiple selected values from opener
// set selected values (will be a list) to hidden form field
// document.forms[0].multiSel1.value=
setTimeout(submitForm, 1000);
submitForm() {
document.forms[0].submit;
}
</script>
<form action="previewAction" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="multiSel1" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="multiSel2" value="">
<input type="submit" name="go" value="Submit">
</form>
Hope it'll work,
