How do you submit a form to a new javascript popup window? (php)

[Noxis]

Ok here is my problem. I got a fault reporting system, I want a quick search option on the main screen. You fill in say a fault ID, click the Go button.

I want this to popup a new window that doesnt have address bar etc (using javasript window.open) and have the result. The parent window can just remain unchanged or refresh itself.

Cant seem to find the solution to this while googling - except maybe that annoying POS experts exchange place that expects you to cough up a monthly sub.

well I have just managed to cludge together from various example javascripts the following:

var fault_id = jsform.fault_id.value;
var valform = "update.php?fault_id=" + fault_id;
myWindow = window.open(valform, 'new','width=800,height=525,resizable=yes')

Not sure if this is the best way tho - but it works.
