How to post the data to a new window and control the new window's property?

How to post the data to a new window and control the new window's
property?

When we submit the form data to another page, we usually do the
following:

<form action="display.asp" method="post"> will submit the form data
and open
display.asp in the current browser

<form action="display.asp" method="post" target="_blank"> will submit
the form data
and open display.asp in a new browser


Now, what I want is to open display.asp in a new browser, but control
the window's size,
and disable the status bar, title bar, and address bar of a new
browser.

If I do this, it can only open a html page, but not post the data to
display.asp.

window.open('display.asp', "newWin",
"scrollbars=0,menubar=0,toolbar=0,location=0,status=0");

any ideas? thanks!!

Greetings. I'll not mention design issues here, I know that's coming from
others here (put your seatbelt on, perhaps rightly *grin*). Technically, if
you have to do this - perhaps for an Intranet system where you know
JavaScript will always be available and window opening not disabled - as
you're already using JavaScript then you could easily get the form field
contents and add it to arguments after the "'display.asp'" e.g.
"'display.asp?arg1=frog&arg2=ostrich'". Wont be 'post'ed - 'get' but its a
way. You're data wont be going to your ASP server at this point though.

And if you do it carefully, you could even get it to work without
Javascript (albeit without any control of the new window).

But, yes, if you want to do this, you'll need GET, not POST.

You can POST, not that it's a good idea, though. See the clj FAQ (4.37):
