Script: submit form data TO popup

[Lixas]

I would like you to ask for a ltl bit assistance. Here is my problem:
I have a form with few input lines and textarea, and after a form i have three buttons: [Close] [Preview] [Submit]
And here is what i need:
Then visitor **** [Preview]- the forms data should be passed to pop_up window for preview (something like submited to pop up window) for example "pop_up_preview.php" but the main page should be left at it is (for editing data)
But then user **** [Submit], a forms data is passed to another regular page, for example "validate_data.php"

Maybe someone knows how to deal with that?

use javascript

[Lixas]

if you are so smart, maybe can you post a code? Of course i will use javascript, but i dont imagine how to do it yet. I have one idea, it is very dificult but i'll try. If i will do it, i'll post whole code here. But maybe someone realy knows how to do it?

Hip hip, i have done it yeeeee, even javasript experts (from http://www.allexperts.com) was unable to help me, but i have done it, and i dont think that i'm intermediate user in JS, i'm a n00b in javascript, but i've done it

so javascript code:

Code: Select all

//pop-up window for preview
function popup() {
	win = window.open('','myWin','toolbars=0');
	****.post.action='preview.php';
	****.post.target='myWin';
	****.post.submit();
	****.post.action='validate.php';
	****.post.target='_self';
}

Form header:

Code: Select all

 <form method="post" name="post" action="validate.php" target="_self" >

here goes whatever inputs, selects, textareas and so on

And here is the buttons code:

Code: Select all

<input type="button" value="Cancel" ****="history.go(-1)"> <input type="button" name="prev" class= value="Preview" ****="popup(); " /> <input type="submit" name="post" value="Submit" />
</form>

Here is very long code for my news edition: Sorry, some parts is in lithuanian, but the main idea is clear. I think for someone it will be very valuable. It uses PHPbb code. So, here is is

Code: Select all
