Topic: HTML FORMS

Like most of you, I have a small collection of web e-mail accounts that I use to avoid having my "real" accounts get spammned...by spambots or when I'm forced to register to download something.

To simplify the login process, I modified the Yahoo login scripts so that I now have all the emails on one local html page...with userid and password embedded...yes with the password in plain sight!

Note: I did not want a submit button..so I used image in the type field because I forgot how to make a text link instead of text on the submit button but it works so I couldn't care less.

<form method="post" action="https://login.yahoo.com/config/login?"   onsubmit="return hash2(this)">
 <input name="login"  value="myUserId"   type="hidden">
 <input name="passwd"  value="myPassword"    type="hidden">
<input  value="The Text for the Submit Link"  type="image"></p>
</form>

Question: can I modify this so that the target opens in a new tab?

P.S. Yes I have too much time on my hands.

Nevermind...i realize now that the form tag can take a target.

<form method="post" action="https://login.yahoo.com/config/login?" target="_blank"  onsubmit="return hash2(this)">

funny how it all seems clear as when you post.

Indeed!

I usually get my answer while I am typing my post.
I have written more posts without submission than I have with...

I can remember all the times I was stuck with a programming bug and I would talk it through with a non-programmer and within minutes find out what I was doing wrong!

Had never heard of the Rubber Duck before though, thanks Poi.

That goes for a great many more things than programming, methinks. Thanks for giving it a name. lol
