How do I redirect into a new browser window after server side validation suceeds with javascript?

Question

I have a form that needs to put its results into another window. I am using:

It has both client and server side validation. The problem is when the server side validation fails, it puts the resulting error screen in the new window rather on the original page (as it should).

What I'm trying to figure out is how to have the server side validation occur and create the window only if there is no errors. I would prefer not to rely on javascript.

Using Spring 3 MVC.

Answer 1

Are you using Javascript for the client-side validation? I don't think there are any other options for opening a new window besides javascript's 'window.open()' and the target="_blank"-attribute of a Anchor-tag or Form-tag.
