Hey guys im pretty new to codeing and am looking for a little help.

I have a submit form and want it to open a new window when users submits the form so i can track it on analytics.

<form action="http://URL at mailchimp subscriber URL.com" method="post" id="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" name="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" class="validate" target="_blank"
onclick=window.open(google.html,'','scrollbars=no,menubar=no,height=600,width=800,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,status=no');
>
<label for="name">Your Name</label><input type="text" value="" name="FNAME" class="required" id="mce-FNAME">
<br/>
<br/>
<label for="email">Your Email </label><input type="text" value="" name="EMAIL" class="required email" id="mce-EMAIL">

<br/>
<br/>
<input type="submit" value="Subscribe" name="subscribe" id="mc-embedded-subscribe" class="submit">

Answer 1

<form target=_blank action="http://URL at mailchimp subscriber URL.com" method="post" id="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" name="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" class="validate" target="_blank"
onclick=window.open(google.html,'','scrollbars=no,menubar=no,height=600,width=800,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,status=no');
>

you have to add a target=_blank attribute in your form tag.

Answer 2

window.open doesn't work across all browsers, Google it and you will find a way of detecting the correct dialog type.

Also, move the onlick call to the input button for it to only fire when the user submits.

Answer 3

The code you have given, needs to be corrected. In form tag you have to enclosed the onClick attribute value in double quote:

"window.open('google.htm','','scrollbars=no,menubar=no,height=600,width=800,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,status=no');"

You also need to take care that first parameter of window.open should also be enclosed using quotes.

Answer 4

onclick may not be the best event to attach that action to. Anytime anyone clicks anywhere in the form, it will open the window.

<form action="..." ...
    onsubmit="window.open('google.html', '_blank', 'scrollbars=no,menubar=no,height=600,width=800,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,status=no');return true;">
